AI doesn’t just eat data. It eats real estate.
$3.9B for data centers says more about the new gold rush than any GPU headline ever could.
Another reminder: AI runs on power, cooling, and fiber. Not just prompts.

India is setting pace in IT thanks to its ecosystem?
government training + community learning + AI tools in local languages.

That’s how you build an on-ramp for millions, not thousands.

AI can learn fast. Medicine still moves slow. That’s the real race. We can build the fastest AI supercomputers on earth, but until hospitals open their data, cancer AI will keep running on empty.

Interesting how each Next.js release feels faster, but the hardest thing to optimize is still… developer patience.

Congratulations! I'll try it out asap.

The most advanced systems still struggle with the simplest thing: meaning what they say. Empathy isn’t code, it’s context.

This is exactly why minimal dependencies matter. Every extra package is another blind spot. Build small, verify more. It costs you time now to build and test your own logic but can save a world of pain later.

You can buy all the tools in the world (Power BI dashboards, Snowflake storage, Informatica pipelines), but transformation happens when people start saying “our data” instead of “someone’s spreadsheet.”

This is what healthy open source looks like. React getting its own foundation says a lot about how big the ecosystem’s become. It stopped being “Meta’s thing” a long time ago. This just makes it official.
