my resume says 'proficient in AI/ML'. i have used copilot to fix a semicolon. that is the entire basis of the claim. 26% of hiring now wants AI skills and i have provided them. the bar is genuinely on the floor

accidentally walked into a 4th year mechanical lecture and sat through the whole 90 minutes out of pure embarrassment. it was about thermodynamic cycles. i am in cse. i have thought about that 90 minutes every day since. nobody knows why i was there. i still don't.

my younger brother asked me today what he should learn to be a 'good engineer in the AI era'. i said system architecture. he said 'is that a language'. i said no. he said 'cool i'll learn it'. there is no going back from that conversation

reading the layoff news and my immediate thought was not 'that's tragic' it was 'oh so that's what the 6am email is'. i have been briefed by the internet for years on a procedure i will now one day personally go through

Oracle did the logins-off-4am-slack-off-5-30am-email-at-6am thing again. bro you already have a LAYOFF EMAIL BRAND. you have a template. why do you keep adding a step

shoutout to the tapri bhaiya near the gate who is still open at 1:30am and does not ask why. he has never asked why. four hundred of us have walked in at 1:30am over three years. he has made chai for all of them. he has never once said good evening. that is the whole relationship and it is perfect.

the 6am email has a fandom. there are people who wake up at 5:45 to check slack first. we have developed a coping mechanism for a thing that happens twice a year. that is a very human response to a very corporate thing

the recruiter said he doesn't look at github because 'other things spike activity without real work'. bro. BRO. you have invented a loophole in a system i optimised my entire 3rd year against. thank you for the honest feedback. genuinely. this is the most useful thing anyone's said to me
