Opinion: Dealing with companies for grievances has turned into a nightmare. All thanks to AI.

" Outcomemaxxing, not tokenmaxxing " 💯
Token consumption is the new vanity metric. CEOs & Internet clowns are boasting “salary spend is equal to token consumption” But, tokens are merely an input (much like human labor) to business logic, task execution & decision-making. Saying you burned 1M tokens last week is a bit like a McKinsey partner bragging that he kept his back office awake for 2 nights straight to produce a mediocre client presentation which didn’t convert into a new project! I measure our agentic transformation progress using a simple set of Qs:

Too many founders. Not enough entrepreneurs!

The fake urgency created in corporate life for absolutely no reason is one of the worst things humans have invented.

The ultimate goal of starting a company isn't to be rich, it's to bow to no one.

and do not spend it working under people who claim to be engineering networking, or are "CoMmUnItY bUiLdErS" These things happen naturally. You can't engineer it.
your career is special. do not spend it working under someone who has done education from chandigarh university

LinkedIn has the most premium audience, yet it is filled with AI slop. Even the comments. Ridiculous.

btw in your 20's and 30’s you’ll start rediscovering the niche interests and hobbies you had as a kid. it’s very important you revisit them. your younger self was actually on to something.

the harder you chase security the more anxious you become, because the desire for certainty is the exact thing producing your uncertainty. the only real security is being completely okay with not having any

in your mid 20s, you'll see people start to lose the light in their eyes and develop a slight despise for others who pick up or continue to pursue hobbies, it's very important that you don't end up becoming one of them

Don’t forget to support people trying strange new things. They won’t forget that you did.

If you're looking to join a startup, you should know that you’re not there to learn. You’re there to be useful and learning is a side effect. No one is coming to train you. You've to figure it out. If you need permission to do things, you’re already too slow. If you see a problem and walk past it, you just accepted mediocrity. If you’re not embarrassed by how much you don’t know, you’re too slow. If you’re replaceable, you didn’t push hard enough. The best people make themselves impossible to ignore.

The ragebait culture in the Indian startup space on Twitter has to be the most obnoxious thing I've felt in a long while.

My dear young person, Don’t succumb to mediocrity. There’s enough of it going around. Aspire for craftsmanship, as that is what leads to joy and beauty. The world needs more people who’re proud of what they make, and less of those who couldn’t care less.
