The irony of Anthropic claiming to “Replace software engineers in the next 6 months” is that they are not even able to fix their own Claude code terminal flickering issue.😂

Some people in the company are like "commented code." You neither delete them nor find them useful, but you keep them around just in case.

Happy New Year 2026 everyone! 🎉

Ending the year 2025 with wonderful gifts from Google.🎁🎉

Reduce screen time by printing long PDFs.

Heavy read for upcoming year

Reading in 2025 was different for me. This year, I read the highest number of books, but only finished a few. I used to read only 4-5 books at a time, but now that number has increased. Also, I pause more books this year if I find them uninteresting or not relevant to me.

I installed Raycast at the beginning of the year and I loved it so much that by the end of the year I became a Pro user. Here is my Raycast Wrapped 2025.

If we want to share just the code (without any history) from a specific branch as a zip, Git has a command for it.

After every conference😊

WTH AI??? Be careful what your AI tool is trained on 🫠

Does AI actually save time?

Cognition in AI

A rough sketch with 2-3 prompt iterations is all you need to get a "good enough" image.

Today I learned: TED in TED Talks means Technology, Entertainment, and Design.

TIL: GitHub Diff has filter options. This is helpful if you want to filter out generated Dart, ARB, or lock files in a PR code review.

I like these small updates. Added maxCount to Badge widget in Flutter 3.38.

New Dart Feature Incoming…🎯

There are two kinds of Tech YouTubers: The first are those who work on real-world applications, gain experience, make an impact, create solutions, and then use YouTube as a medium to share their learnings.

Motivation to share whatever I know online🥳

Excited to be speaking at Fluttercon India 2025 on 13th December in Bangalore.

Already liking this book.

Nowadays, every tech product demo is becoming like an Instagram post — it looks great until you actually try it. Companies focus so much on how a demo looks and feels that they forget to make it actually usable after the release. Real value isn't in the demos, but in usability.

Sometimes you don’t learn a skill to master it; you learn it to understand the process. For example: • You don’t write a blog to get views, but to think better. • You don’t edit a video to make it perfect, but to learn how stories are told.

A Funny Story on How a Mobile Lead Should NOT Estimate Tasks. We had a mobile team of 10 people, divided into iOS and Android with a tech lead for each. Whenever top management asks for an estimation, the iOS lead waits for the Android lead to give an estimate.

Naming is hard. I spent 30 minutes trying to find a "minus" sign in Material Icons, only to discover that the icon is actually named "remove" 🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️ stackoverflow.com/a/55075367/5...

When your code only works if statements stay in a specific order — that’s a statement order dependency. Refactor so each step is self-contained, and order stops mattering

Corporate employees are paying more taxes than the Corporation itself they are working for.

To avoid merge conflicts on generated files, I often use the "--ours" and "--theirs" arguments in Git to accept changes directly without reviewing merge conflicts, and regenerate later if needed. This is especially helpful if you have a rebase workflow.
