Running on one cylinder

This is why @svembu has been advocating for sovereign development of tech, whether you agree with him or not.

With 𝗮𝗱𝘀 𝗶𝗻 𝗔𝗜 𝗠𝗼𝗱𝗲, your brand doesn’t just show up - 𝗶𝘁 𝗮𝗻𝘀𝘄𝗲𝗿𝘀. At #GML2026, we announced that we are testing a new generation of ad formats in AI Mode. Powered by Gemini, these ads are more visual, capable of reasoning, and bring a new level of helpfulness to both the user and the advertiser. Here are three new formats we are testing to help you reach high-intent customers in AI Mode: 🛒 𝗗𝗶𝗿𝗲𝗰𝘁 𝗢𝗳𝗳𝗲𝗿𝘀 💬 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗗𝗶𝘀𝗰𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘆 𝗮𝗱𝘀 ✨ 𝗛𝗶𝗴𝗵𝗹𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝗔𝗻𝘀𝘄𝗲𝗿𝘀 Explore everything we announced by visiting Accelerate with Google:👇 goo.gle/4u51JoR

Why is @MaridhasAnswers incapable of sticking to questions on just a person's work, ethic, or competence and having a problem with how she dresses or whether she wears a nose ring? Why does a female minister have to deal with this sexism and verbal harassment? Calling a Minister who has rightfully earned her seat at the table - "Tharkuri" is probably a special talent of men here. Whether you like her or not, she is at the table, you are not. It is best if these chest-thumping, self confessed progressive men stuck to pointing out flaws on a politician's actual work, and not focus if a woman is wearing lipstick or a nose ring. Nothing about her dressing could have possibly ruined the "oru kaalathla manufacturing gateway aaga irundha Tamilnadu" in 3 whole weeks. It is time women in politics in India got to dress in other comfortable attire and not just in a Sari just because that is what is palatable to the men and some of the gatekeeping women, here.

We're building a Moon Base! @NASAMoonBase will serve as a habitat where astronauts live and work during long-term science missions. Join us at 2pm ET on Tuesday, May 26, for a live news event where we’ll share updates on our lunar exploration plans: go.nasa.gov/4uinkLi

This is insane

On my commute to work today, picture perfect view of the elephant shaped Thoranamalai, famous for the Murugan temple. Blessed to live here 😇🙏

Arc to Atlassian deal makes complete sense now

If LLMs were invented around 2000, would they still be generating websites in Perl or would we have reached TypeScript and React much faster? I wonder if LLMs just lock us into whatever stack they are trained on.

The biggest problem is implementing AI workforce is accountability. I dont think we can ever resolve this

The software sector is facing a massive debt wall: ~$40 billion in software and services debt matures in 2028, the largest single-year concentration. The vast majority of this is rated B- or lower, deep in junk territory, with no investment-grade debt in the mix. In total, ~$100 billion in software debt matures from 2026 to 2029, with an additional ~$70 billion beyond 2030. Meanwhile, AI disruption is increasing credit risk for software borrowers, the exact companies that private credit funds have been lending to most aggressively. Software is also the largest sector in the leveraged loan market, representing 12% of the total. Refinancing this debt at higher rates with deteriorating fundamentals will be a growing problem for the sector. The software sector has a tough road ahead.

In a world where you can be anything, be a number 50

Chennai can very well become like this in next 10 yrs but…. #Chennai

The next generation of solo entrepreneurs won’t be developers. They won’t obsess over tech stack or trendy design libraries. They will be no-code people focused on solving a problem, shipping crazy fast with AI, and cracking distribution on social media. They will be 100x wealthier than us.

What is happening with #Artemis program, why are you keep on postponing the launch @NASA

🚨 Someone just open sourced a fully autonomous AI hacker and it's terrifying. It's called Shannon. Point it at your web app, and it doesn't just scan for vulnerabilities. It actually exploits them. Real injections. Real auth bypasses. Real database exfiltrations. Not alerts. Not warnings. Actual working exploits with copy-paste proof-of-concepts. Here's what this thing does autonomously: → Reads your entire source code to plan its attack → Maps every endpoint, API route, and auth mechanism → Runs Nmap, Subfinder, and WhatWeb for deep recon → Hunts for Injection, XSS, SSRF, and broken auth in parallel → Launches real browser-based exploits to prove each vulnerability → Generates a pentester-grade report with reproducible PoCs Here's the wildest part: It follows a strict "No Exploit, No Report" policy. If it can't actually break it, it doesn't report it. Zero false positives. It pointed at OWASP Juice Shop and found 20 critical vulnerabilities in a single run including complete auth bypass and full database exfiltration. On the XBOW Benchmark (hint-free, source-aware), it scored 96.15%. Your team ships code daily with Claude Code and Cursor. Your pentest happens once a year. That's 364 days of shipping blind. Shannon closes that gap. One command. Fully autonomous. The Red Team to your vibe-coding Blue team. Every Claude coder deserves their Shannon. 10.6K GitHub stars. 1.3K forks. Already trending. 100% Open Source. AGPL-3.0 License.

Be way too ambitious, don’t be consumed by revenue metrics

Kinda disagree. AI is exponentially amplifying the productivity of intelligent worker. 2 sharp operators with AI can do what a 15 person team did before. You won’t need big teams anymore. Human in the loop will always exist. Real question: who’s that one human on your team?

You can have 0 followers, 0 engagement, and still hit $1M MRR. A lot of people here get this wrong. Distribution doesn’t mean you have to build a personal brand. Having a personal brand helps. But selling is a different game.
