I've seen countless jokes about AI-generated code and vibe coding. Never imagined I'd witness something like this within my own network!
But behind the humor is an important lesson.
In the age of AI and vibe coding, strong fundamentals matter more than ever.
AI has dramatically lowered the barrier to building things. What once took days can now be accomplished in hours, sometimes minutes.
But generating code is not the same as engineering a solution.
Understanding architecture, security, scalability, design principles, and engineering best practices is what separates a quick prototype from a reliable, production-ready solution.
And that's where the real opportunity lies!
AI doesn't make foundational knowledge irrelevant. It makes that knowledge exponentially more powerful.
My advice to everyone embracing AI:
Strengthen your fundamentals. Understand the why, not just the how.
Embrace AI wholeheartedly. Use it to accelerate learning, experimentation, and innovation.
Think critically. Never confuse AI-generated output with a validated solution.
Follow engineering best practices. Security, testing, scalability, and maintainability still matter.
Stay curious and keep learning. The tools will evolve, but your ability to reason, question, and solve problems will remain invaluable.
The future isn't about choosing between AI and human expertise. It's about combining both to achieve what was previously impossible.
Don't just learn how to prompt AI. Learn enough to challenge it, guide it, and make the most of it.
The stronger your foundation, the higher AI can help you build.

Salesforce's Braze announcement does not explain how the products will connect.
So I read the product pages and wrote down my own reading of the fit.
- Data 360 turns a company's data into business context for agents and teams
- Braze turns live customer signals into messages and journeys
- Marketing Cloud runs campaigns, and Salesforce expects Braze to strengthen its cross-channel personalization, with deep mobile and in-app experiences
- Agentforce, Salesforce's platform for AI agents that answer questions and take actions, sits beside BrazeAI
That is a reading, not a plan the companies have shown. Bill Magnuson, Braze's chief executive, said Braze will keep building as Braze.
How do you read a fit like this before the vendors explain it?

Salesforce calls admins the backbone of every org. Which explains why everyone leans on you.
What admins do every day, which tools to learn first, and where #AI fits in.

Saving one record in our app took about seven seconds (our estimate). Long enough to click Save again, just to check.
The records sat in Delta tables behind a SQL warehouse. Here is why we moved them to PostgreSQL.

Should an LLM control a 6G network?
Our IEEE VTC2026-Fall paper says: not on its own.
The LLM turns an operators goal into structured objectives. Guardrails check them, and deterministic controllers run only what passes.
In our 260-intent benchmark that cut the unsafe accept rate from 100% to 0.8%, with a 4.6% false-reject rate and a 50% escalation rate.

A guy in India bought a Sony Bravia TV. It developed green lines under warranty. Sony's service team called it "external damage" and refused replacement.
So he registered SonyBravia.com and posted the entire saga — emails, service records, photos.
Sony's response? A 6-page legal notice demanding he delete everything, apologize in 7 days, or face a ₹5 crore civil + criminal claim.
Indian Gen Z really isn't sparing billion-dollar brands. 😭

Meta Wanted To Replace Engineers With AI Agents - Literally Everything Went Wrong
- Internal docs show a 60% planned cut
- AI was supposed to do most work
- Zuck changed his mind, last minute
- Only did a 10% lay off
- Employees staged a huge revolt
- AI slop generated 40% more security incidents
The most surprising part of this story is assuming that humans wouldn't revolt 😲

Today, we are announcing a series of updates that give customers frontier-grade security at half the cost.
MAI-Cyber-1-Flash is our first cybersecurity model, built ground up to find the most challenging vulnerabilities in complex code bases. When combined with MDASH, it delivers world-class performance at 50 percent of the cost of leading models.
We are bringing this capability to market through Project Perception, a complete agentic security offering grounded in real-world signals and security workflows. Teams of specialized agents work together to simulate attacks, detect and triage/investigate, and fix and remediate.
This is the benefit of building the harness, context/signals, and action space separate from one model family. By combining specialized models and data with the right agents, tools, security context, and harness, we can advance the frontier of cost to outcome.

ORBIT ACHIEVED. 🚀
Vikram-1 Test Flight-1 has reached orbit. India's first privately developed orbital rocket has completed its final burn and injected its payloads into a ~450 km orbit, making India the third country in the world with private orbital launch capability.
History is made. 🇮🇳

A 15-year-old dream has come true today. I started a PhD with the dream of creating a system that chants any Sanskrit shloka perfectly.
And here I am opening sourcing 𝐕𝐚𝐠𝐝𝐡𝐞𝐧𝐮 - 𝐀 𝐯ṛ𝐭𝐭𝐚 (𝐦𝐞𝐭𝐞𝐫) 𝐚𝐰𝐚𝐫𝐞 ś𝐥𝐨𝐤𝐚-𝐭𝐨-𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐭 𝐭𝐞𝐱𝐭-𝐭𝐨-𝐬𝐩𝐞𝐞𝐜𝐡 (TTS) 𝐬𝐲𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐦 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐒𝐚𝐧𝐬𝐤𝐫𝐢𝐭. This is the world's first vrutta-aware, open-source TTS for Sanskrit Chanting.
