Pilot AMA 🥥

thank you! there's already plenty distinction between the question and the response with the left-right alignment and bear icon on my responses, color will just add visual clutter to the interface. i think the gap is also alright. i'll think about how to make stacks look more obvious and implement per-card share and download functionality 👍

all the best! ♥️

i'm perfectly ordinary bhai. the only difference is i don't worry about the worrying. most people try to control their worrying which exacerbates it.

photograph composition is good and your eye will get better, but the color grading is off. the colors look synthetic, too vibrant and gaudy. color needs to be a bit understated. also needs to fit the story or emotion you wish to convey with the photograph. every photograph cannot have the same treatment. look at these examples. study where color is important for the story and where it is a distraction. same goes for contrast. some photos do really well with high contrast, others with low contrast. you need to be clear about what you're trying to portray and choose accordingly.

bohot reposts ho jaayenge bhai phir toh

sorry to hear that. there were only a few shitposts, removed them and gave the account a professional makeover. sellout behaviour, i know. i have betrayed myself! and yet, i can’t get myself to post on linkedin so it has all been a waste of time.

♥️♥️♥️

i too graduated from college with no job, innumerable backlogs and a dropped year. but i found a way to be useful and got a job right after graduation. granted the present market situation is way more challenging than what i was exposed to, but the principle remains the same. find out how you can be useful and let the world know about it by marketing it on x and linkedin.

nothing is everything, the frame you knowingly or unknowingly apply to a situation depends on you and your context.

melody khao, khud jaan jaao. kehne ka saar ye hai ki why have abstract opinions when you can build things, touch grass, and find out for yourself? when you do this, you will have an assessment that's intricately rooted in your own personal context. that will be more useful than having abstract hot takes you get emotionally attached to but have no grounding to reality.

fear theek hai, it's a natural response to a rapidly changing environment. if you didn't feel fear, you'd never adapt. par isme opinion banane ki kya zarurat hai, just decide based on your read of the situation and where it's going.

neither, mughlai food isn't my first preference

do we not have cat, dog, cow, hamster best friends today? do we only have human best friends? friendship isn't limited to humans, so why would ai change anything

same thread replies only work from the same device. i think you're using both your phone and laptop maybe. anyhoo, a nice book you can read over a weekend is illusions by richard bach (author of jonathan livingston seagull, another fantastic weekend read). thank you for the compliments ♥️

happy to be useful!

japanese incense sticks with a wooden incense tray. i light them up every day after waking up. makes for a nice, fragrant start to the day. simple pleasures of life.

this question has a million answers, but a simple answer is: find out ways to be useful and valuable to other valuable people.

i make something banger every once in a while and i'm nice to have around in general.

what books have you read so far and finished and enjoyed? i can recommend something adjacent, perhaps.

yes, that's exactly why i've built this. so that we all can have a nice interface where this can be housed and read. some of my best writing often shows up in these AMAs.

haven't tried to do more ambitious things that would really force me out of indian crab mentality, bureaucracy and red tape :)

building useful things for yourself is a far cry from building cool things for the world, at scale, unfortunately

hahahahhaha

plan for bearish outcomes, work towards bullish outcomes, starting with yourself, and then extending yourself to others who are also working towards bullish outcomes.

what do you think?

this is non-duality, my friend.

thank you bhai, this new AMA website will allow you to carry out full anonymous conversations with me in a thread instead of separate disconnected messages. we can have a full conversation anonmymously. it will also allow you to go through all my past AMAs as they'll be housed on my blog. it will also allow me to respond to some messages privately.

hot mocha that warms my insides and i can sip on it for a couple of hours. iced mocha is too easy to finish in ten minutes

yes, people love the aesthetic of environment-friendliness but won't pay the personal cost it incurs.
