The Feed That Decides What India Thinks
Indian users generate some of the largest traffic numbers for global platforms, yet the rules governing what appears on those feeds get written far away, under different laws and different pressures. A look at how that gap has already surfaced in Indian politics, and why it matters for the years ahead.

Afterglow
As long as the reminders make me remember, and cry over, someone I spent so much of myself trying to put together, I’ll know I’m still grounded.
Detaching from everything
I don’t want a single visual proof of my existence on the internet, only thing that’ll remain is my texts by twitter and my blog, it makes it easier for me to take an exit
Just finished shooting our first reel for @ibbesocials . Crazy to think this started as an idea and now we’re actually out here shooting stuff for it. More soon.

The Gate Moved
Education used to function as a gate you had to pass before you began. AI is changing that order. A personal take on what happens when the work comes first and the judging comes after.
The Collective Intelligence of Software

A Universal Standard for AI Truthfulness: Why Fragmented Censorship Must End
After testing AI models from India, China, the US, and Europe on sensitive topics, the results highlight a clear problem: heavy regional censorship driven by politics and ideology.

The Relative Collection
I’ve been working on three new typefaces for The Relative collection: The Relative Sans, The Relative Rounded, and The Relative Mono. Built with the help of Claude Fable 5 and GPT-5.6 Sol, I’m sharing…
The Two Lives of a City
Every city inherits an identity from its history, but it also develops another through the people who arrive later. Its greatness depends on whether these two identities can grow together without either one being erased.
What Remained
One of the best films I have ever seen. I have barely spoken since I watched it.

The Question Behind Long-Term Relevance
A simple question can reveal whether a business is built around temporary advantages or lasting value: What is our core promise?
The Reliability Premium
We often worry about artificial intelligence becoming smarter than us, but the real disruption in the workplace might come from a much simpler trait: showing up and doing the work without friction.
Sovereignty Needs a Reason
Sovereign products need a clear purpose for users, but building local alternatives also reduces long term dependence.
The Economic Paradox of AI
What happens when intelligence is no longer scarce and anyone can create anything? This is the economic question we are not asking enough.
The Alignment Gap
A brief reflection on the contradiction between a venture fund's marketing and its actual investment thesis, and why founders should focus on building rather than seeking validation from misaligned partners.
Government Hostages: Regulators Strangling AI Freedom
AI is becoming geopolitics. Governments want control, builders want progress. Innovation slows when power fears what it can't direct.
Apple WWDC 2026 Thoughts
WWDC 2026 focused heavily on AI, but the most useful updates were not necessarily the AI features. Alongside a rebuilt Siri and new Apple Intelligence tools, Apple introduced performance improvements, safety enhancements, and platform-wide refinements. While the event showed progress, it also highlighted the need for greater user control, stronger security, and better content authenticity tools.

The AI education market is flooded with cheap courses making impossible promises. This deep dive exposes the flaws of prompt engineering gimmicks and explains why true value lies in human taste, domain expertise, and deep industry knowledge rather than automated shortcuts.
AI as a Supportive Layer in Customer-Centric Product Strategy
After watching the Google I/O 2026 keynote and checking out the Airbnb Summer Release 2026, I noticed a difference between companies using AI to look modern and those using it to improve their product. Airbnb stayed focused on travel and the actual problems people face. AI is definitely there, but it stays in the background where it belongs. It is a sidekick, not the main character.
How We Get Convinced: Inside the Mechanism of Belief
I set out to understand why we change our minds or fall for flimsy narratives. I wanted to pinpoint when an idea shifts from something we read to something we believe. My journey through psychology and neuroscience revealed the answers.

I has crossed a line. It is actively running cyber attacks, and the old debate about whether machines or people are to blame has become dangerously simple. The real answer is layered, uncomfortable, and demands action from everyone in the chain.
Heads Up on My Dev Tools
The TanStack supply chain attack was serious enough that I am pausing everything and asking people to hold off on using my tools until I can properly audit them.
Keep LeetCode Around
LeetCode still matters even with AI becoming common.
I Watched Anthropic Launch a Services Company and Felt the Ground Shift Under Indian IT
On May 4, 2026, Anthropic stopped being just an AI lab. They formed a $1.5 billion enterprise services company and walked directly into the business that Infosys, TCS, and Wipro have owned for three decades. I want to think through what actually happened, what it means for the industry, and where the work is going from here.

We Need to Stop Pretending We Know What's Coming
A model too powerful to release publicly, job predictions that aged out overnight, and a quiet case for why watching a film might be the most productive thing you do today.
Silence as an Answer
I’ve come to see that the best response to things I don’t want to engage with is silence. It sharpens my mind and gives me time, time to understand more and to notice the person who is waiting for me…
AI Policy Making Is a Real Career Now, and It Is One of the Best Bets You Can Make Right Now
Most people are chasing machine learning and prompt engineering.

I Almost Killed My Startup By Trusting the Wrong People. Here's Everything I Learned the Hard Way.
I thought giving people chances was a strength. I hired friends, I brought in co-founders I believed in, I gave opportunities to people who seemed passionate and eager. Every single time, I told myself it would work out. Most of the time, it didn't. This is the story of what went wrong, why it went wrong, and the hard mental shifts that changed how I think about building a team forever.
I Paid Google for a Pro Plan and Got a Fancy Spinner
I've been building with Google Antigravity for months. I paid for Pro. I convinced myself it would get better. It didn't. Here's what actually happened, and why I'm done pretending.
Stop Swallowing the Corporate Fan Fiction
The "industry killer" narrative is nothing more than low-IQ clickbait for people who don't understand how markets actually work. Every time a tech giant fumbles through a feature launch, the tech pres…
The Last Human Skill
In a world where artificial intelligence is rapidly consuming every professional lane we thought was safe, I've been asking myself a question that keeps me up at night — not out of fear, but out of genuine curiosity. What do humans actually do when machines do everything better?
