Reading 📚
I've been reading books ever since the wee age of 8. Only recently did I switch from fiction to business and history titles, something I never thought I'd do. The primary motivator was the dearth of insightful and comprehensive content available online on these topics.
I'm currently reading the following set of books.
Writing ✍️
I've written a few articles on my not-so-periodic newsletter. I try to write about topics which really helped me or really capture my intrigue. Like these:
I also wrote a few short stories in the past, which I have republished here.
Questions 🧢
Here are a few questions I currently think of, in a rough sense and no particular order:
-
Can mega corporations co-exist with smaller competing enterprises?
-
Is AI (and by extension systems enabled by AI) fundamentally flawed? Why are some groups of people highly invested in it, and others completely detest it?
-
How do you ensure and validate trust in a service or product, even at scale?
