Living behind the lens

The other day, I picked up my camera and looked through the viewfinder. But instead of pressing the shutter, I stopped. It made me wonder why we feel this constant, basically automatic urge to record every single moment. Does taking a photo actually help us remember things better, or does it change how our memories work? When we experience a memory in our life through our phone screen or...

When Information Becomes the Deadliest Weapon: Sameer Gudhate on Dark Asset by Adrian Magson

Sometimes the most dangerous people in an espionage novel aren’t the ones carrying guns. They’re the ones sitting comfortably behind polished desks, making decisions that others will have to bleed for.That thought stayed with me long after I finished Dark Asset by Adrian Magson.At first glance, it has everything I expect from a modern spy thriller — covert missions, relentless action, shifting all...

Democracy Beyond Elections

Every few years, we stand in long queues under the scorching sun, proudly ink our fingers, and cast our votes. We are told that this is the greatest celebration of democracy.But I often find myself asking a simple question:If the voices of the people are not consistently reflected in governance, what is the true purpose of an election?Democracy was never meant to be just about choosing representat...

Why Huxley’s Future Feels Uncomfortably Familiar: Sameer Gudhate Explores Brave New World

Brave New World is often described as a novel about the future. What struck me most is that it is really a novel about comfort.Most societies worry about oppression arriving with boots, prisons, and fear. Huxley imagined something far more seductive. What if people surrendered their freedom willingly because comfort felt easier than truth? What if control arrived not through pain but through pleas...

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 World Behind a 10-Minute Delivery: Reflections on Buildit by Albinder Singh Dhindsa | Reviewed b

There is a peculiar modern habit that most of us participate in without thinking about it. We tap a screen, place an order, and begin measuring time in minutes. A packet of biscuits, a bottle of medicine, a charger, even an iPhone appears at the doorstep so quickly that the machinery behind the experience becomes invisible. Convenience has become so ordinary that we rarely ask what it takes to man...

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. A useful agent task has a source of truth, a narrow action, a verifier, and a stop condition. “Review this repo” is vague. “Find auth bugs in these routes, cite file lines, run the relevant tests, and stop after the fi...

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 ...
