LLMs run on repurposed gaming GPUs, through languages designed for humans, over processes built for human throughput. Imagine what happens when the stack is actually built for AI.

The AI Stack Is Running on Borrowed Infrastructure — And What Happens When It Isn't

AI tokens cost the same in Bangalore and San Francisco. The geographic cost advantage that built India's $250B IT industry is facing a structural break — and GCCs are next.

Code generation is almost solved. Planning mode is getting there. Testing and guardrails are the last gaps — and they're closing fast. The fully autonomous software development loop is closer than you think.

Engineers identify with writing code. PMs identify with writing specs. AI is automating both tasks — but the jobs remain. The orgs that confuse tasks with jobs will lose their best people first.

The Dark Factory: Engineering Teams That Run With the Lights Off

A few engineering organisations are already operating a model most companies haven’t begun to consider. While the typical software team debates whether to adopt AI coding assistants, companies like StrongDM are running fully automated development pipelines where agents handle implementation, testing, review, and deployment. Humans set direction and define constraints. The mechanical work happens…

The Judgment Bottleneck: Why Direction Matters More Than Execution Speed

Watch any software team for long enough and you’ll see the bottleneck move. First it was writing code. Then reviewing it. Then testing. Then deployment. Then security scanning. Each constraint gets automated, and immediately the next one becomes the problem. This cycle used to play out over years. Now it’s happening in weeks. AI agents can handle spec writing, code generation, reviews, testing,…

As is the case with many of Google's April Fools' jokes, this one from 2009 has also come true

Turning 42, and Coming Full Circle

I turned 42 this year. I don’t usually attach much meaning to birthdays, but this one did trigger a quiet pause—not a reinvention, not a reset, just a sense of recognition. A feeling that certain instincts and interests I’ve carried for a long time were finally meeting the right conditions to be acted upon. In many ways, it felt like coming full circle. Post–IIT Bombay, I had toyed with the idea…

Workflow automation with n8n seems to be the rage these days, so decided to go the self hosted route on my raspberry pi. Overcame some initial hiccups with help from Claude to get it up & running on my local network. Read on to know the steps & get the scripts.

Baahubali: The Epic

Been a while since I posted a movie review on the site, and also watched a movie in the renovated IMAX theatre in our neighbourhood. What better movie to watch on the large IMAX screen than a release of the combined Baahubali movie. Despite clocking in at nearly 4 hours (which makes it just as long as Lagaan), the film remains as fast paced and thrilling as it was originally. In fact the major…

From clicks to conversations. AI Agents translate your unstructured plans—from docs to notes—into action, bridging the strategy-execution gap. See how these digital teammates are revolutionizing business in my new post:

The thrill of AI "vibe coding" often ends in chaos. GitHub's SpecKit is the fix, using spec-driven development to bring order and memory to the process. It’s a huge step for building real software with AI. My take on why this is a game-changer. #SpecDrivenDev #AI #Software

AI is replacing jobs—but which ones, and why? That question keeps resurfacing as headlines ping between panic and hype.
