I am not sure if you mean good, bad or ugly but yeah this username is perhaps with me since 1998. I used to hang around in MIT, Stanford and many other Uni IRC rooms. I was this odd username from a far away city. Tim Berners-Lee once asked me about the real person behind the username. I almost shat my pants but somehow I answered.

I am sure you have a great story for your username and the blank HN profile too.

It was a tongue in cheek joke.

Looking at your profile it's clear you're heavily invested in passing the idea that "AI is going to take our jobs" as if you have some money in the game ...

		Yes, I know that is how it would seem in this ultra-capitalistic world. But no. I am a believer, follower of Sci-Fi and a dreamer. I see AI as way to tear down structures - "When everyone is super, no one will be". The next 10 years of software can either centralize power, like we have done in the 10 years past. Or, we could open up for everyone - every mom and pop business can run their business with the best software - their own workflow. I do not believe in the systems that have led us here and I see AI as a chance to rectify. I live in rural India, by choice. I am 44 and kicking. Have a farm, dream life and a chance to bring change I have dearly wanted - true empowerment. Big Cos/SaaS have brainwashed people away from what software for people could have been. Time to change that.
