you’ve got no chutzpah, your organizational skills are lackluster, your timekeeping is abysmal! see: https://anirudh.fi/about

@aynish same background as you; I've found the Go/Templ/htmx/Tailwind stack to be incredibly powerful. htmx took a bit of mental rewiring to grok, but it's very easy to get productive with, especially with how easy Templ makes writing partials.

I would support a RiiR of Signal Desktop. It's honestly shocking how bad it is to use.

I gotta say, Lidl’s marinated tofu is unironically really good. And it’s just a €1,30. I’ll even rate it higher than Jalotofu.

I’m realising that tech comps in India are now often 1x–3x (sometimes 4x!) that of Europe.

@cadey I’m actually trying to solve this exact problem with https://kapycluster.com. Multi-cloud Kubernetes with a managed control plane.

@hugo fortunately wasn’t directly work related. Yeah, I wouldn’t mind a compliment like that, but in my experience, it’s usually been suffixed with “… for an Indian” lololol (or something to that effect).

Dang, the last two meetings have had the "you don't sound Indian" exchange. It's cringe, don't do that. Today's went like this:

  • them: "you don't have the stereotypical Indian accent I was expecting you to have"
  • me: "uhhhh it's a big country with a large population, so I suggest you avoid painting it with such a broad brush"
  • them: "........... haha ....... okay ........ moving on..."

Perhaps I should've said, "you don't have the stereotypical German accent I was expecting you to have". Next time.
