Before You Change Your Life, Understand Your Brain: Sameer Gudhate Reviews The Brain Always Wins by

Every conversation about improving our lives usually begins in the wrong place. We talk about better habits, stronger discipline, improved productivity, or greater motivation. Rarely do we begin with the organ that makes every one of those things possible. The Brain Always Wins asks us to reverse that order. Before changing our behaviour, it argues, we should understand the brain that creates it.T...

Million Dollar Habits by Brian Tracy — A Reflective Review by Sameer Gudhate

Many books about success promise transformation. Brian Tracy’s Million Dollar Habits makes a quieter promise: transformation begins long before results appear, hidden inside ordinary routines that most people never think twice about. It is less interested in dramatic breakthroughs than in the small decisions that eventually become identity.Tracy has spent decades writing about achievement, and rea...

Sameer Gudhate Reflects on Inner Conversations: Decluttering the Noisiest Room We Live In

There is a peculiar modern habit that rarely receives the attention it deserves. A person can spend an entire day in conversation without speaking to anyone at all.The dialogue happens while driving to work, while scrolling through social media, while replaying an argument from three years ago, while imagining a future disaster that may never arrive. The voice is familiar because it belongs to us....

AI Builder Notes - Week of June 14, 2026

My thoughts and my twitter’s feeds thoughtsThis week was all about the ‘loop’ and Fable.The LoopThe best way I can describe it is: design the flowchart. Think of the deterministic flowchart on how you want your agents to work.Aim to have: more deterministic bits - this keeps things more predictablemore verification bits - this is agent feedbackmore useful tool calls - tests, logs, screenshots, rep...

The Hidden Cost of Ambition: Sameer Gudhate Reviews The Balanced Leader Part 1 by Yusuf Poonawala

AI Builder Notes - May 2026

AI-assisted notes from my liked-tweets feed, organized around agent workflows, browser traces, model loops, and guardrails.Practical takeawaysStart with the workflow, not the agent.

Some Reflexes Are Earned

There’s a very specific kind of silence that happens during an outage.Not the peaceful kind.The heavy kind.Pipelines jammed. Builds failing. Deployments blocked. Every engineer slowly realizing that nothing new was shipping until someone figured this out.The root cause sounded almost stupid for the scale of damage it caused.It all started way before and I was at my desk.Near my desk, both the SRE ...
