My best career advice is to just be genuinely interested in what others are doing and be helpful however you can. I also think this is how to be a good human.

Underrated life advice: Have a Bad-Day Protocol. Go for a walk. Eat something clean. Hit a workout. Take a long shower. Get to bed early. Whatever. You donโt need to solve every problem when youโre at your worst. You need a few moves that stop a bad day from becoming a bad week.

๐ I'll be in London during the third week of November and would love to meet engineers and builders.
If you're building agents, AI infra, or developer platforms, let's grab a coffee and swap notes on what you're learning and what isn't working yet.
DM me if you're around

A compiler is better at turning c code into assembly than you are. But does it mean the compiler is smarter than you?
The same holds true for LLMs. They are a future kind of, general compiler
Builders are in demand

Weโre at a billion tool calls a month at Composio. We're hiring an APM in the integrations pod to contribute to taking that 10x further.
Someone early in their career who learns fast, keeps getting better with agents, and gets their hands dirty when the agents canโt.
Bangalore, in person. Apply here: jobs.ashbyhq.com/composio/64โฆ

Replying to @_jaydeepkarale
Nothing cryptic about it. You are the engineer. You are responsible. You must ensure that all quality gates are met while productivity remains high. Just like before. Just like always.
