Hi, we're Threadlocked, a small collective of young researchers and hackers scattered across India and APAC.
We're sick of watching an entire generation mistake salary packages and credentials for the pursuit of computer science itself.
We're looking for curious hackers and researchers who still dare to take the road less traveled by treating computing as a craft.
We grew up in obscure corners of the Internet and learnt from strangers who encouraged our curiosity, shared their knowledge and even helped us access resources we couldn't afford. Somewhere along the way, we found our people. Now that we're in a position to do the same for others, we'd like to return the favor.
If any of these feel familiar we’d love to hear from you.

The Fulbright Program @FulbrightPrgrm was established by the US Congress in 1946 for “the promotion of international goodwill through the exchange of students in the fields of education, culture, and science.” That program, which is administered by the @StateDept, uses US taxpayer funds to pay for foreign students to study in our country.
In 2022, under the Biden Administration, Aimun Faisal of Pakistan (@bluemagicboxes) was awarded a Fulbright Scholarship. She entered our country on an exchange visa, obtained a Master’s Degree in “Cultural Studies” at one of our elite universities, Dartmouth College in New Hampshire, and departed our country in 2024. The US Government paid $180,000 in taxpayer funds for this educational opportunity.
But apparently the Fulbright vetting process left a lot to be desired. Long before Aimun applied for and received this US-government-funded scholarship, she publicly expressed profound contempt for our country. February 2019: “America is a neo-imperialist, capitalist hellhole, which is funded by the oppression of several races.” April 2020: “fuck america.” Not an obvious candidate to promote “international goodwill.”
Nor did Aimun’s US-taxpayer-funded education at Dartmouth bring her around. May 2025: “I truly hope the fall of the American imperial order is a thing I get to witness. I hope Donald Trump sets fire to the liberal cloak that america drapes itself in to reveal the truly ugly, demonic, grotesque nakedness within, to the world.” September 2025: “the united states of america is a sickness that rots our world.” February 2026: “Absolute morbid grave of morality run by mass murderers and rapists relentlessly killing children with the push of a button and keeping their subjects drugged on unending consumerism. America is a festering rot on god’s good earth.” & “Allah just keep me alive long enough to rejoice upon the ashes of the American empire.”
Needless to say, this case raises very serious questions about why a foreigner who espouses these views would apply for US taxpayer money from the US government to study in the US, and why the US government and one of our elite universities would have accepted her. Many Americans do not get this kind of educational opportunity, although it is far from obvious that the Master’s Degree in “Cultural Studies” from Dartmouth actually advanced Aimun’s education.
I can reassure the American people that, under the leadership of @POTUS @realDonaldTrump and @SecRubio, the @StateDept will not tolerate (much less fund) this kind of nonsense, and we have substantially overhauled the @FulbrightPrgrm to make sure that no such abuse takes place on our watch. Aimun does not currently have a visa to enter our country, and will never receive one as long as we have anything to do with it. She is of course free to hate us, but we do not welcome foreigners who hate us (and have abused our hospitality) into our great country. 🇺🇸

Everyone: "Vibe coding is causing all these security bugs"
Reality: PHP, Node, Linux kernel, GitLab. All hand-written code by humans, some of it 20 years old.
