What's your perspective on the India's future?

Hyderabad is already ridiculously hot during summers, the politico-builder nexus is going to make it even worse.

Talking about green cover, I came across this shocking news yesterday. The average of maximum temp for March months in Pune has been rising almost linearly last decade. I'm talking about averages (so not the flukes)

https://www.punekarnews.in/pune-records-highest-average-march-temperature-in-a-decade/

The change is tangible, it's not news to us. Moreover, we didn't have winter this year.

This news got me wondering about Indian cities. Are they warming too? So I ran a deep research.

These are all average of max for March months

The numbers for Pune are accurate. I didn't verify sources for other cities.

Let's presume that these numbers are accurate.

Conclusion,

That crap part is changing, though.

its not ; )

An LLM is one part of the equation. I was not talking about LLM as just a glorified auto-complete.

Today, an autonomous AI agent can create a basic tool, app, game, site, video with just a prompt. That includes architecture, coding, testing, and even publishing.

let's just agree to disagree ; ) for hobbyists or amateurs dipping their feet in tech, its good, for any professional relying on it entirely and for business needs? yea no.

If AI was a person, I'll say it's only in the second year of engineering. We will see it's evolution.

unless there's some breakthrough and an entirely new architecture is designed from scratch, it wont, I cant explain it to you even when dumbing it down without technical terms, but essentially, it can only copy or "mimic", it cant "think" on its own, thats why for basic stuff it works well.

E-way bill is one example. Can you provide more? Something that got spectacularly better? With time, everything was supposed to get streamlined, regardless what party is in the Govt.

I already did, transportation, do you remember the quality of roads pre-2014? I absolutely do, I remember our trucks getting stuck outside city borders till 12 at night, and then only getting a short window to pass through the city and if in peak season, sometimes not even making it because of traffic, I remember we having to bribe cops for entry despite entry being opened at night for trucks, There were no highways back then, transports took almost twice the time currently in some cases, roads were crap, and most were just singe/double lanes. I can go on and on about roads in NCR/UP/Madhya Pradesh and some parts of Bihar/Punjab/Kolkata which is were we primarily supply. and if you think this is not enough then think again.

In the VAT era, I was filing one return every six months and when it became GST, I found myself filing 4 returns every month. Back then, I had programmed my solution for reconciliation, and it worked a treat during VAT. When GST arrived, nobody knew what was what. It was chaos. I was adjusting/refactoring my solution every week to match new norms. I had no bandwidth left to do any actual business.

yep, even we faced issues, migrations pains are going to be there specially with something as corrupt and useless as indian babus, but these days its a breeze for us, not sure about others.

Yeah. It was much better. At least in my area.

There's a reason why people are buying SUV these days. Sedans are dying.

No need to dumb it down.

Let's agree to disagree.

If what you say is true, then there won't be any dearth of IT jobs.
