Newsletter #4

Hey all!

Just sent out a new post, I want my Chicken Shawarma: How I cut booking costs by 10x, a technical dive about how software engineering skill still matters in today's AI-saturated world.

Since the last roundup, here’s what’s new:

- Models for thinking: frameworks that keep me sane when decisions get messy.
- A Mallu in America: an interesting juxtaposition.
- EB-2/EB-3 for Indians: some data for our age-old immigration worries.
- Pros(e) and concerts: why I don't go to concerts, and what I do instead.
- What I've been up to: a summary of the last few months.
- A Malayalee's guide to Kerala: so tourists can tour Kerala like a local (vetted by my family)!
- I want my Chicken Shawarma: How I cut booking costs by 10x: the aforementioned dive into web requests and LLM-assisted coding.

Thanks for reading, and as always, please reach out with any comments or feedback if you do read!
