Feel bad for the ecosystem (commuters, aggregators, drivers, investors, etc), but in hindsight, getting out of this category early sure turned out to be a net positive decision @_svs_ @_anshulk @vivekchoksi https://t.co/JjMoiftKAt

Sure, if I clock my 'work' as defined traditionally, it might be 60 hrs
But I'm tweeting 'at work' rn!
I also just played with my son for a bit!
What about the 'thinking' abt work on long drives & in the shower?

Also 'sold' 10 Hotmail accounts to someone who needed a web-based email service for his internationally travelling salespeople, but didn't know something like that existed. https://t.co/M167frc2e9
The first (& only) time I hit a straight drive so straight that the ball's trajectory lined up perfectly with the bat and I had to tilt my head to catch a glimpse of the ball race past the bowler

The growing use of LLMs even in informal group chats is interesting. For example, see 2/5 👇🏼
Spellchecks are transparent, so there's no 'shame'
But LLM text clearly looks artificial & people know you/your English skills. So what gives? 🤷🏽
Options explained in thread 👇🏼
They do!

Admiration for the operating style of @akisaxena @jiten @duncanjriley @PracSharma @sunnykgupta @championswimmer (& others not on X) helps me (1) spar curiously (2) disagree+commit easily & (3) deliver duly what I owe them - simply out of the fear of letting them down😁 https://t.co/6SUYpDMeun
Pro tip for travellers:

Don't get wow-ed by aerial shots of places. You won't be airborne when you get there.
Drones can make _any_ place look a lot better than how it actually looks (forget feels) on the ground from an eye level perspective.

Henry Kissinger's 1960s observation about late 19th century German politics remains as relevant globally today.

Watch this in slow motion. Or pause the video soon after he hits the overhead.

Without spin, the ball would head along the green line, but it ended hitting the line person's right foot.
INSANE SPIN!

Criticising is fast & easy. And so is dismissing criticism on that count alone.

Besides, if you're asking me to pay for it, I don't care if you took 2 years to make a shit movie. If it's bad, imma criticise it. And no, I don't need to be a filmmaker to earn the right to do that. https://t.co/ynANcPDADa
In fact, there was no 'India' before the British came. Just 100s of kingdoms. And yes, people were poor because we were a bunch of monarchies!

Forget a republic, forget a state, 'India' wasn't even a nation 300 yrs ago

Some things get easier with practice/experience. Like landing darts in good areas.

Some are intrinsically hard & will always remain so regardless of experience. Like lifting a 50 kg stone. Or making people part with their money (purchase, loan, investment, donation, whatever) https://t.co/JMeElC08S4
