The Ghosts We Inherit: India's 'New Money' Story My mother reuses tea leaves until the water runs clear. My friend's father keeps a wooden box in his closet, with carefully folded bills arranged by denomination. Another's maintains a small diary tracking every household expense down to the last rupee. These aren't quirks – they're battle scars from a generation that survived on less. We are their children. We carry their financial trauma in our wallets, even as we tap them against sleek payment terminals at craft coffee shops.

this is the future of saas: one backend with two front doors. one for humans. one for their agents. same building. your users click buttons. their agents call your api. both do the same things. why: 1. agents are the new power users. people are already wiring claude code, codex, and openclaw into their workflows. if your product doesn't have an api, you're invisible to them. 2. no drift. one canonical api layer means one source of truth. ui and api never diverge. you must support agent to support human. 3. skills is the new distribution. when your api works with any agent, agents find their way in themselves. your product becomes a tool for their agent, not a tab a human have to visit. build for both from the start.

@michaelfreedman I’m sold on the premise after trying git, shared google drive etc etc. How do I host this for my team?

Introducing TigerFS - a filesystem backed by PostgreSQL, and a filesystem interface to PostgreSQL. Idea is simple: Agents don't need fancy APIs or SDKs, they love the file system. ls, cat, find, grep. Pipelined UNIX tools. So let’s make files transactional and concurrent by backing them with a real database. There are two ways to use it: File-first: Write markdown, organize into directories. Writes are atomic, everything is auto-versioned. Any tool that works with files -- Claude Code, Cursor, grep, emacs -- just works. Multi-agent task coordination is just mv'ing files between todo/doing/done directories. Data-first: Mount any Postgres database and explore it with Unix tools. For large databases, chain filters into paths that push down to SQL: .by/customer_id/123/.order/created_at/.last/10/.export/json. Bulk import/export, no SQL needed, and ships with Claude Code skills. Every file is a real PostgreSQL row. Multiple agents and humans read and write concurrently with full ACID guarantees. The filesystem /is/ the API. Mounts via FUSE on Linux and NFS on macOS, no extra dependencies. Point it at an existing Postgres database, or spin up a free one on Tiger Cloud or Ghost. I built this mostly for agent workflows, but curious what else people would use it for. It's early but the core is solid. Feedback welcome. tigerfs.io

@nikunj @paperplane_club the model card labels it as a model fit for multi-turn conversations and such, but it chokes. Though it sure is my workhorse for general purpose ETL workloads. The Google Search grounding makes it the best out of the box model for enrichment with real world data.

Random models that are so good and yet still somewhat underrated.. > Gemini 3 Flash for long context and structured outputs. For the cost, this thing is so freaking good. Even Claude was like yeah one shot it bro, this multi agent orchestration is unnecessary. I have agents running this continuously and I barely spend any money. > GPT 5.4 Pro for problems that require really hard thinking. The latency sucks, only available on ChatGPT but the output is beautiful. No model comes close to how smart it is and how human like the reasoning output is. API wen!? > NotebookLM for slides. The ability for it to compress huge number of sources into beautiful slides is unparalleled. I use it regularly to explain research papers. It uses nano banana under the hood so you get a frontier model mostly for free. > Open source - If you didn’t know, open router has a bunch of free models and inference. It’s fun to try them just to we what shape each model has and where it’s good. Minimax 2.5 and GLM (both not free) are quite incredible for the price. I’m excited for DeepSeek 4 and Kimi’s next models. If there’s a model and use case that has surprised you, drop it here!

Bengal elections (23-29 Apr) present a massive seasonal opportunity for Snabbit, Pronto, UC Instahelp in Delhi. Many households' full-time help & cooks will be travelling to Bengal for a fortnight to a month in the summer. Question is, how much of the supply on these platforms is also Bengali.

I don't mean the actual qualification, of course. I mean that the MBA playbook - logical thinking, data-driven decision making, process-oriented execution - is far from sufficient, and might not even be necessary.

100% you can. Here's a standard playbook: - Step 1: Get into a tier 1 consulting firm - Step 2: Exit to private equity, or do a stint at a startup. Or just skip to step 3. But basically make decent bank - Step 3: Leverage network and brand to raise a pretty decent pre-seed Success is often about how long you can stick in the game. 2 & 3 gives you a bit more fuel to see it through

great advice for folks in the 20s, but for those with kids in tow…like it or not, hotels are your hostels.
Ami Palan@markmeyourze

I’ve stayed in hostels and luxury rooms, both in India and abroad, and here’s what I’ve realised. I always leaned toward budget trips in the beginning. My salary was low and I didn’t want to depend on my parents for travel. Now I earn pretty okay, but honestly, my preference hasn’t changed much. I still choose hostels. In India, I’ve stayed at Zostels across multiple cities. In Thailand, I stayed in hostels in both Bangkok and Chiang Mai. Even in Oman, I did a night at a hostel. It’s not like I don’t stay at good hotels, I do both, but they offer very different experiences. Good hotels have this way of pulling you inward. You start wanting to explore the property itself, the rooms, the amenities, the views. That’s exactly what happened in Bintan, Indonesia. We booked a beautiful resort and ended up spending most of our time there, barely exploring the local town or interacting with people. Hostels do the opposite. They push you outward. There’s an energy, people constantly planning, exploring, sharing stories. It keeps your curiosity alive and makes you want to see more of the place, not just where you’re staying. It’s also about the people you meet, the stories you hear, and the lives they live. So yeah, if a destination truly calls for luxury, go for it. But otherwise, I’d always recommend mixing in hostel stays. I’ve pretty much decided that for every trip I take, I’ll spend at least a couple of days in a hostel. It teaches you things a hotel never will.

Useful, yes. But mostly for breadth, not edge. In a market where recruiters are already handling nearly 3x more applications per role than in 2021, auto-apply helps you enter the pile faster. It does not help you stand out from it. For strong candidates, signal still comes from targeting, narrative, and warm access.

@dravishakatoch then either the “non-technical” folks clearly aren’t “technical” enough? Or have they not woken up to their value.

@kunksed I’m still seeing this btw, technical talent is still getting paid more over non technical talent. But on the flip side, non-technical talent irrespective of AI skills is not getting paid more. My hunch is, it’s because AI skills are increasingly becoming accessible/democratised.

Are you seeing non-engineering talent that builds with AI (agents, Claude Code) — the semi-technical junta — ask for or get hired for a premium in the Indian ecosystem?

Disney launched a new ad where a dad and son share a night time walk on a cruise ship, across an entire lifetime. Every parent needs to hear this: the moments feel small until they’re gone. Put down the phone. Spend the time. It’s the only thing they’ll remember.

@dravishakatoch how does this justify ‘engineers’ historically earning more than ‘business’ talent? Wasn’t that cause of the leverage they bring + supply constraints?

@kunksed Not premium but they’re getting prioritised for positions over the ones who do not know AI for sure. FYI, this is just an observation re: startup roles. Bottom line, AI skills are not resulting in salary increases.

yes but a semi-technical person is not a like for like for software engineers with judgement of systems. i strongly feel, we have transitioned to an age of personal software where we hack around small things (it can be a basic requirement for ai fluency). e.g. an HR building a small tool to automate lead generation, a content creator building a small tool to benchmark content against some dataset etc. my point is, if we want to build a scalable system, a software engineer with deep knowledge of systems should be the one to be trusted with. but overall, ai fluency is important and anyone with basic fluency will win over someone who is oblivious to ai. the definition of 'technical' transcends having knowledge of systems.

@aryanistweeting And sure, a ‘technical’ person may be superior on a battlecard but if someone with business context + judgement and a hacked up tool set can ‘get the job done’, wouldn’t be a tough pick for me :)

@aryanistweeting I am too scared to ask what ‘technical’ and ‘software’ mean in March 2026. Cause I’m seeing B.Com MBA folks wrangling salesforce through Claude Code + CLIs / MCPs and getting shit done which they otherwise wouldn’t have been able to.
