It does make you wonder though, if we start expecting that same level of validation from people, it might actually become harder to communicate with others. That kind of patience and appreciation isn’t something we normally get from humans. The future is definitely going to be something xD

The validation you get from ChatGPT really is something else. Every question, no matter how basic, gets accepted with a warm, encouraging “That’s a wonderful take Darshana, now you are thinking deeper,” followed by even more praise. If only everyone responded with that kind of understanding.

Its going to be an amazing journey. Keep going!

It is so important to not let things get to you. Your mental peace is up to you

In my SwiftUI list, while adding a new note item to my data source array (I insert a new element at the 0th index), the scroll doesn't align itself properly. Any idea around this behavior? Am I missing something? #Swift #SwiftUI

AI has made life so much easier, right? It saves time, helps solve problems fast, and boosts productivity. But have you ever stopped to think—when was the last time you sat down and figured something out completely on your own?

You can trick your lazy workday into a super productive day You might have witnessed those lazy workdays when you are just drifting by, doing some work here and there.

You can trick your lazy workday into a super productive day

Came back from a break, stared at my screen for 30 minutes, and almost convinced myself to ‘start fresh tomorrow.’ Instead, I picked one tiny task. Just one. That small step broke the inertia. If you're feeling stuck after a break, don’t aim big. Just start small. Momentum follows.

A bad moment doesn’t deserve a whole day. Pause. Reset. Move forward. I know it’s easier said than done, but every time I let go a little faster, I win a little more. Progress over perfection.

It’s fascinating how LLMs can be more persuasive than humans. Research shows they help people let go of their dark sides—not through arguments, but with an uncanny, human-like empathy. After all, they’ve learned from countless human experiences.

I’ve noticed that the more I think, the scarier things seem. But the moment I start doing, fear starts shrinking.

If you’re stuck in overthinking, just take that first step—you’ll see the difference.

Wohooooo

I have been using Opera for the past few years

How do I remind myself that everything isn’t an emergency? Maybe a Post-it on my desk that says: 'Relax. You’re not defusing a bomb. Loosen those shoulders, unclench your jaw, and breathe.

Imposter syndrome never goes away, you just get good at ignoring it xD

Is 2025 going to be Google's redemption arc on the AI front?

Microsoft is investing $80 billion in AI this year, with a significant stake in OpenAI and integrations with models like Anthropic’s. Are they setting the stage to dominate the AI market?

Meta is planning on adding AI characters to their social platforms. These characters would have their own profiles, bios and share AI powered content. As exciting as this sounds, it also raises concerns.

What are your thoughts?
