you're a few .md files from being able to outperform 99% of people on this planet
There’s a clear distinction between 3x, 10x, and 100x force multipliers lately. Also 10x today is about a 100x when compared to a year ago.
I've never felt this much behind as a programmer. The profession is being dramatically refactored as the bits contributed by the programmer are increasingly sparse and between. I have a sense that I could be 10X more powerful if I just properly string together what has become available over the last ~year and a failure to claim the boost feels decidedly like skill issue. There's a new programmable layer of abstraction to master (in addition to the usual layers below) involving agents, subagents, their prompts, contexts, memory, modes, permissions, tools, plugins, skills, hooks, MCP, LSP, slash commands, workflows, IDE integrations, and a need to build an all-encompassing mental model for strengths and pitfalls of fundamentally stochastic, fallible, unintelligible and changing entities suddenly intermingled with what used to be good old fashioned engineering. Clearly some powerful alien tool was handed around except it comes with no manual and everyone has to figure out how to hold it and operate it, while the resulting magnitude 9 earthquake is rocking the profession. Roll up your sleeves to not fall behind.

(1) Commerce — ONDC 🛍️
ONDC is the open commerce network promoted by DPIIT (Govt of India)
Myth: ONDC is all about ride hailing (e.g. Namma Yatri).
Reality: In April ‘24, ‘retail’ orders overtook ‘mobility’ orders — ONDC is now about restaurant, F&B and much more!
Use-case: Democratizing commerce, providing a neutral ecosystem for SMBs to engage in digital commerce.
In Jan ‘23, ONDC had 1200 retail & 600 mobility orders
In Oct ‘24, ONDC had 65 Lakh retail orders & 55 Lakh mobility orders

Highest number of Indians are employed in mom and pop shops. They’re getting decimated and need to innovate if they were to survive.
Every town had dozen of mobile shops, most of them had to shut down bcz of e-com. Quick Comm is eating into lunch of traditional mom & pop shops
Krishna Department Store - a local Kirana store in Anekal town is now on #ONDC. Get groceries delivered to your home across Anekal - order now via @PaytmSeONDC @mystoreforindia linktr.ee/krishna_store_anek…
Local shops have not had the visibility that they need online, and the cost of convenience with e/qc is getting higher

I think about this all the time
And how it can take the right community to try to lift you up into the top 10% of the possible life paths from where you are now
10,000 conversations with a 100 people could eliminate most of the bad paths and lead you towards the good ones
