Somethings I Believe in

tldr; I'm a small-town kid who got addicted to the internet, dropped out of IIT Madras, and decided the syllabus was actually wherever the rabbit hole went next - Bubble docs at 2am, Flutter screens, EV dashboards, LLM SQL hacks, ML papers, Premiere timelines, and the occasional standup set.

Tech matters to me because the right product nudges real humans and real systems (battery health, learning, livelihoods) — not just a number on a dashboard. I build with high agency: code + AI tools + fast iteration > endless decks and "let me circle back".

I spent my early years speed-running content across socials; now I channel that same chronically-online energy into shipping useful things and writing about what I learn. When I'm not at a screen, I'm usually somewhere on a Himalayan trail, halfway through a 400km bike ride, or trying to teach myself a 5th instrument for no good reason.

If you want to know how I actually think and work, these are the principles I keep returning to:

Somethings I believe in

High agency over waiting for permission.
You can just start, clarity comes after action.
Theres no right time, if you want to start start it right now. Your second art will be always better or atleast different than first one.
Do not confuse motion with direction, feedback matters.
Iteration x consistency = compounding results.
Speed helps, but only if you are roughly right.
Treat controllables as skill issues, ignore what you cannot change.
Learning fast is useful, thinking deeply keeps you from drifting.
Your dopamine sources shape your ceiling.
Create and publish, proof of work beats ideas.
Code and media are leverage.
Read what the greats already figured out.
Your environment is people plus inputs, online and offline.
Energy and time are your real currency.
Urgency is good, burnout is not.
You are always being shaped, choose what shapes you.
Most founders procrastinate by polishing decks, fake plans, and endless research tabs.
Ideas are cheap; a shipped v0 in 48 hours beats a perfect v1 "someday."
Every day you do not ship, someone less prepared already did and is learning from real users.
I would rather break in public than hide in private drafts.
No mockups. No permission. No "when it is ready."
Monday: pick one idea. Wednesday: break it live. Friday: get real feedback or real revenue.
Perfectionism is often fear in a premium UI kit.
If you have an idea and no live URL, you have nothing.
If you have a live URL and no users, ship harder.
I will keep shipping weird bots and rough tools until people pay me to ship theirs faster.
Build in public or join the graveyard of almost.
Ship fast. Ship ugly. Ship now.
