AI is not only for the tech folks
That was the whole idea behind my session with the members of Rajkot Management Association Business owners and individual experts, mostly from non-technical backgrounds. And honestly, I didn't know…

I repeat: hackers are using AI now. So your defence has to use AI too
One day, one of our tiny AI apps got almost 5,000 requests. Its real users send <50 in a month. When we dug in -> Bots. Almost all of them. Hunting for our secret keys. They found nothing. Someone…
Why are you here?
That was my first question to the room at the Rajkot.Tech AI Meetup. Curiosity? Ship faster? "My job is safe... right?" Or to prove it's hype? Because your motive decides what you take home. So glad…
Security in AI products needs to be next level
Check the two questions in the images. Looks fine, doesn't it? The first one has 2 hidden characters. The second one, just "Hello How are you", has 165. You can't spot them. The AI still reads them.…
Fewer freshers are getting jobs. And AI is one reason
We can complain about it. Or we can help them master it. GDG Rajkot gave me a chance to do the second one. A hall full of students and a session on how we actually use AI to build production software…
Them: Which AI model should we use?
Us: Which task? At Artisans, we regularly take one real task and run the leading models through it. Same prompt, same data, answers checked one by one. This time: describing and tagging 41 images. 9…
The laptop is inside my bag right now. And it is still working
Everyone has a trick to keep the Mac lid open so their coding harness doesn't stop mid-task. This is mine. A clip, and just enough gap. Not for the screen. For the air. Not the prettiest thing in my…
I stopped trusting Chrome extensions. So I built my own with AI
One popup, only the things I actually use - GDPR banners gone. Feeds hidden on YouTube, X and LinkedIn. Save to reading list, copy an article as Markdown, JSON formatter. Nothing new. All of this…
Imagine a machine counts your stock for you
Then you count it all again bcs you can't trust what it said. That was the reality at Starbucks. They put computer vision in 11k+ stores to track inventory. Every wrong scan, the staff had to catch…
DevOps with AI to save 💲

Bad people are using GenAI

Continuous Integration. Continuous Delivery. Continuous… Refactoring?
CI/CD has been there for years. AI have made one more thing possible. Continuous Refactoring. And it solves one of the biggest pains of maintaining software - Legacy codebases. Almost no company can…
I am sceptical about this trend in software engineering
People are not talking enough about "Automation" but jumping now to "Autonomous". They 'wish' to just let coding agents build and maintain systems. After looking at a few random reels from…
A few days back, my laptop just froze hard. Had to force power off
I feared it was a hardware issue. Asked Claude Code to walk through the system logs with me. Twenty minutes later, details revealed. It detected that the machine had quietly been running out of…

Coding is even more fun with the 'GitHub Copilot coding agent'
