EMudra is getting all the attention because rand() { return 4;} is so meme-able, but the real smoking gun is the PingCAP breach. To call it shambolic is an understatement, especially when it was known internally since 2022 and nothing was done to actually fix it.
Honestly if I were paying SF salaries for SREs only for them to copy paste client's credentials in JIRA tickets, I'd jump off a cliff

I am very, very, very bullish on commercial space in India. It will take a decade, but it's the only country with a real chance of competing alongside the U.S. and China. corememory.com/p/a-new-india…
860KB of actual code.
800M node modules,
3.2G of Next JS artifacts.
Another app in our monorepo has a 10G .next folder. God save Software Engineering from this shitshow.
Getting a reality check is good. Vishwaguru rhetoric died after USA pulled its weight in Bangaladesh regime change. GOI seems to be persuing more realistic policies now. With the eMudhra fiasco, IT supahpawah rhetoric can be replaced with a pragmatic approach to skill building

It’s called having a hobby, and people used to be encouraged to have one, but now influencer bros will judge for not maxxxxxxxxing on that, too.
A garden is never finished, either.
Reddit'te tanıştığım yabancı bir arkadaşım yaklaşık 8 aydır mobil oyun geliştiriyor. Arada bana da gösteriyor, her seferinde oyun biraz daha güzelleşmiş oluyor.
Geçen sordum ne zaman yayınlayacaksın diye. Birkaç eksik varmış, onları tamamlayacakmış.
Merak ettim, ne eksik dedim.
Map’in ışıklandırma, assetlerin gölgeleri, bir de ana menüye animasyon ekleyecekmiş.
Dedim bunlar bitince yayınlayacak mısın? Yok, sonra da araç fiziklerini elden geçirecekmiş.
Dedim sen oyun geliştirmiyorsun, oyunu yayınlamamak için kendine iş çıkarıyorsun.
Bence bazı insanların başarısız olmaktan korktuğu için oyunu hiç bitirmemek gibi tuhaf bir savunma mekanizması var.
Çünkü yayınlamadığı sürece o oyun hep potansiyel bir başarı olarak kalacak. Kimse de aksini kanıtlayamayacak.
I wish I had the shamelessness of the American Far Right to call an (almost) mass-shooting incident "a few offensive online posts".
AGI is around the corner and you want me to try to get rich by investing a few 100 dollars a month in an ETF ?
The convo that nobody is ready for is that AI has made every "technical" moat dead , especially if you are building a wrapper over Open Source Software, so now you are basically like every luxury perfume brand competing on marketing and aesthetics.
Is there a real moat for all of these sandbox companies? Feels like everyone is pivoting and the product is always the same???
- Fast boot time
- High clock speed
- Scale up and to zero
But like beyond lightweight microVMs it feels like the technical depth is fairly shallow? Like everyone is running on the same CPUs, and you can't really optimize the actual workloads because its just random agent-generated code at runtime.
Aside from race-to-the-bottom on pricing, how do you compete?
Folks, if you channel your desperation and shame at your country/continent/community not achieving X,Y or Z and instead use it to make yourself 0.1% better everyday or to help the people in need around you,
trust me there will be a lot more joy and peace in your life.
Former boss had a company that sold software to TCS and was licensed per machine. TCS simply copy-pasted the binaries + config and refused to pay. Fortunately he had anticipated this and shipped an encrypted license checking payload that verified license on bootup
My dad had a startup in India that created mutual fund software. They sold it to Punjab National Bank, which stiffed them on the payment, claiming that they didn’t use the tool provided.
Unbeknownst to them, there was a backdoor to stop the tool from working after a duration of time. The bank called to complain. That’s how they recovered their dues.
