are yll seeing this
i fucking hate 2.6 hog cycle.
so as one does, i built this demo using Open Intelligent UI (powered by @openuidev)
it even has a live simulation so you can finally stop getting destroyed by bots and whales
and yes, this is the same kind of interactive UI @ChatGPT introduced as intelligent UI. except you cannot improve your clash royale skills inside chatgpt lmao
live demo: openui.com/demo/intelligent-…

I'm politically neutral, but follow enough startup summits and founder meetups, and a pattern becomes hard to ignore: founders praising Modi, Modi himself showing up at inaugurations.
Whatever your politics, one thing is clear: capitalism isn't a footnote in his economic ideology. It's front and centre.
What happened to teams that do research? be it design, marketing or any other domain.
Why are we free balling ideas with no thought backing it? There’s no longer any story to tell.
guys mr bf is on a roll
last week of december 2025, i was in taiwan for my exchange semester. finals were approaching, i was flying back home on jan 8th, and i still had a lot of friends to say goodbye to.
somewhere in the middle of all this, my best friend from back home texts me saying he wants to participate in this hackathon.
now, mind you, i was balls deep in exams, hungover all the time, and trying to make the most of my last few days in taiwan. but fuck it, the hackathon was online anyway, so we decided to give it a shot.
jan 8th, i land in new delhi.
jan 10th, we get a call saying we've been shortlisted for the offline finals. out of 2,200+ teams?????
so we take a leap of faith, fly to an entirely different part of the country, present our demo, and somehow WE FUCKING WIN THE WHOLE THING???
and as if that wasn't enough, i end up getting an offer from Thesys for a DevRel internship.
the funny thing is, i already had other plans. i was supposed to go back to taiwan for an IIPP internship in the summer of 2026.
but i cant sit straight for 4 months
so i took another leap of faith, moved to bangalore, joined Thesys, and holy shit, it has been phenomenal.
for the first time in my life, i felt like i was in a room where everyone was smarter than me. as someone who's been cocky his entire life, this was lowkey terrifying (not that i've stopped being cocky).
also, being the youngest person in the room didn't exactly help :)
before i was even old enough to legally drink in bangalore, i was working on something that thousands of open source developers would eventually use. how fucking cool is that?
i can't say i've been at Thesys for as long as some of the other people on the team, but oh boy, what a ride it's been.
it's funny how seven months can feel like a lifetime. i've watched OpenUI evolve, broken things, fixed things, learned more than i ever thought i would, and gotten to work alongside some ridiculously talented people.
and now, here we are.
OpenUI 1.0.
something we've all poured so much of ourselves into is finally having its big moment, and i genuinely couldn't be happier to be a part of it.
and in a very fitting coincidence, i signed my full-time contract with @thesysdev today :)
seven months ago, i was just a hungover college student in taiwan who said yes to a random hackathon.
today, i get to call this my job.
anyway, @openuidev, no more calling me an intern. i'm a big shot now 😭🙏
On a roll @matiks_play
