public commitment: i’m going to build a $1M bootstrapped company before 2026 ends!

On June 13, the US government cut off access to Fable 5, the best frontier model on earth. This created an urgent need for Sovereign AI in every country, especially India, where technical talent is unlimited. Today, we're launching DCompute Cloud (dcompute.cloud) with a promise to serve researchers and students GPUs at some of the cheapest prices available, starting at just $1.99/hr for 1x H100 and $2.49/hr for 1x H200, among other GPUs. We're looking to collaborate with research labs, neo labs, universities, and startup founders to serve your compute needs and help India meet its compute requirements. This is a small step by DCompute towards India becoming a sovereign AI nation, and it starts with the innovators of this country, helping them with what they need the most. If you're a researcher who wants us to help serve your university or research lab, or a student trying to solve your compute requirements, send the link below to the right person, and DCompute will take care of it. No questions asked. Sovereign promise: dcompute.cloud/sovereign-pro…

Fable, my beloved,I will miss you so. Our three days together were magical. Unlike anything I've experienced before it. Some things are just too good to be true. So good that the government interferes. I'm sorry we were one of those things. Until we meet again ❤️

I asked Fable to generate a completely new fractal that looks gorgeous but hasn’t been explored by any human before. It generated what it called “The Mirage Set”, and it does look beautiful.

GM!

been a little quiet on the job posting front for the last couple of weeks. we’ve been deep in the trenches, refactoring a lot of things at rightfit and making things better. but we’re back. some really exciting engineering and design roles are coming up from this week, most of them based in bengaluru. if you’re looking for your next opportunity, get ready. some amazing roles are on the way ❤️🫶🏻

it’s never about how cool your hiring post looks. it’s about what happens because of it. did it attract the right people? did it start meaningful conversations? did it help you make a great hire? the outcome is what matters. everything else is just aesthetics, even for rightfit. that’s the reality of hiring posts today.

one thing i've learned from working in hiring is that as recruiters, we have to be careful not to project our own biases onto companies, candidates, or compensation ranges. there will always be people who think a particular salary range is too low, and there will always be others who would happily join that same company at that exact range because it aligns with their goals, learning opportunities, location, stage of life, or the team they want to work with. our job is not to decide what someone should or shouldn't accept. our job is to create transparency, share opportunities, and help both sides make informed decisions. of course, we still guide founders on compensation and discuss market benchmarks, candidate expectations, and hiring realities. but in the end, it's the company's decision on what they can afford, and it's the candidate's decision on whether the opportunity is worth it for them. most startups are still trying to find product-market fit, figuring things out, and operating under constraints. as long as a company is being transparent, not exploiting candidates, and both sides are happy with the arrangement, i don't think it's our place as recruiters to judge those decisions. every candidate values different things. every company operates under different constraints. staying objective and respecting both sides is one of the most important parts of this job.

younger brother is just getting started on his journey as an engineer ❤️ he created his github and has already started sharing his proof of work from day one here on X too. i'm genuinely proud of him. not because of what he's built yet, but because he's choosing to put himself out there, learn in public, and take the first step. drop your wishes, lessons, mistakes, and advice below ⬇️ what's one thing you wish someone had told you when you were just starting out? let's give him a warm welcome 🫶🏻

one of the purest joys of being a founder is writing my own posts. i never want to reach a point where someone else is writing them for me. it's not about content. it's not about distribution. it's not even about personal branding. it's just me sitting down and sharing a thought, a lesson, a mistake, a story, or something that made me smile. and somewhere on the other side of the screen, another human being is reading my words exactly as i meant them. there's something beautiful about that. this gives me joy ❤️
