Good morning, ladies and gents!

Will try to fix the annoying bug that I've been dealing with since Friday. But otherwise, it’s going to be a relaxing day. I don’t have any plans and will mostly be taking it easy.

I hope you all have a great Sunday.

I built this mostly for myself, but figured I'd share it here. It was an easy little project, a password and passphrase generator that runs entirely in your browser. As always, nothing gets sent or stored and it's open-source.

It's going to be an interesting day at work.

Wishing you all a happy and a productive Tuesday!

Google has applied to the EPA to release up to 32 million mosquitoes across California and Florida, and that sounds like a nightmare until you understand that they are all male, they don't bite, and the whole point is to wipe out the females that do.

Good morning, ladies and gents!

Happy Sunday to all of you!

A few months (or even weeks) ago, companies were rewarding employees for using AI tools. Now, some of those same companies are dialing it back and asking employees not to use AI unnecessarily because of insanely high AI expense bills.

Good morning, ladies and gents!

Today, it's going to be a long day. I hope and wish you all a great day ahead.

Not a bad day at all.

Companies like Meta, Amazon, and Microsoft are now tracking the token usage of employees using internal tools. I guess if they tracked mine, they wouldn’t have any problem at all.

Groggy day for me with 5 hours of sleep. Even though it’s a weekend, I still wake up abruptly after a few hours.

Checked this in ChatGPT & it says it’s probably my body clock/circadian rhythm. If you usually sleep 5 to 6 hours, your brain starts treating that as normal.

G'day!

If you're not happy single, you probably won't be happy in a relationship either. True happiness comes when your Claude Code session resets.

Good morning, ladies and gents!

I’ve been in meetings since the morning. Working from home today! It’s going to be a long day.

Happy Friday nonetheless. Wishing you a great day ahead.

It's been a good day! 🏃

Good day to you all, ladies and gents!

It’s been a productive day so far. Completed 50% of the tasks in the morning itself. We have a planned PROD release this week, so I’m prepping for that. Also learned that we’re moving away from Jenkins to GitHub Actions.

Have a great day!

Another hectic day. It started raining a bit, and I thought it would be so relaxing at night. It stopped after 2 minutes of light drizzle. It made it worse. 🫩

It’s been a hectic week.

Good morning, ladies and gents!

Travelling back to the work city today. On the road to Ranchi airport, should reach in another 40 minutes.

I hope you all are having a great Sunday!

Microsoft has never done this in 51 years of existence. This week it announced a voluntary retirement program for US employees, the first in the company's entire history.

Around 8,750 employees are eligible, roughly 7% of Microsoft's US workforce.

Good morning, ladies and gents!

Joining work after 6 days of vacation (inc. Sat and Sun). There are about 150+ emails to check and address, 9 PRs to approve, and 6 meetings to attend. It’s going to be one heck of a day.

I hope you all have a great day ahead.

Anthropic’s Mike Krieger left Figma’s board days before Claude Design launched. Not random. Claude targets PMs, founders, engineers who used Figma casually. Core designers stay, but that edge user base is big. Stock dropped 6.8%.

Full breakdown in SavvyMonk.

Anthropic Built a Design Tool and Figma's Stock Dropped 6.8% the Same Day
Claude Design lets anyone create prototypes, decks, and visuals from a text prompt, no design background needed.

There are way too many posts and videos that start with:

“Anthropic just killed…” “OpenAI just killed…” “Google just killed…”
It’s getting on my nerves.

There are better ways to inform, discuss, and opine about tech news.
