Happy Monday! Delhivery CEO Sahil Barua told us in an interview that the logistics sector is likely to see more consolidation. This and more in today’s ETtech Morning Dispatch.
I used to think the problem was my prompts. Every time an LLM lost track of what I was building mid-session, I'd rewrite the prompt. Add more detail. Be more specific about the architecture. Paste more code. The model would snap back on track — for a while — and then drift again. After months of thi
The easy version of the AI jobs argument is boring now. One side says developers are doomed. The other side says employment is still fine, so everyone should calm down. The Stanford and ADP numbers make both versions look too clean. The headline is not mass unemployment. Across all workers, the Cana
Collaborative UX sounds simple until you actually try to build it. At the product level, the feature request usually sounds like this: “Can we show who else is viewing this page?” But once you start implementing it, the feature quickly turns into infrastructure work. You need transport handling. Tha
For any app past a certain size that's gone bilingual, the question "how much hardcoded Japanese is still hiding in our repo?" never quite goes away. A naive grep for [ぁ-んァ-ヶ一-龯] returns thousands of hits, and the vast majority are inside translation tables, already-branched code, or comments. The r
The future does not belong to the person who works the hardest. It belongs to the person who builds systems that keep working after they walk away. A coffee shop around lunch is an interesting place to watch modern work. Someone is bouncing between Slack notifications, another person is rewriting th
Need a new home security system that won't break the bank? This TP-Link Tapo C460 kit is one to consider, now AU$90 off.
Stop overpaying for mechanical keyboard polling rates
India’s quick-commerce market is back in a discounting spiral. Amazon and Flipkart are turning up the heat, but incumbents Blinkit and Swiggy Instamart are largely refusing to dive into the price war as they prioritise profitability, industry executives said.
If completed at the current terms, the round will mark a sharp re-rating for the company less than a year after it raised $15 million from Salesforce Ventures, Accel and Together Fund at a valuation of around $60 million. The new capital is expected to be used to deepen Rocket’s AI capabilities, exp
Unlike conventional digital systems, where responsibility typically rests with a platform operator, data controller or service provider, blockchain-based systems can distribute responsibility across developers, validators, node operators, enterprise users, intermediaries and public authorities. That
Delhivery is entering its next phase of growth, with CEO Sahil Barua betting on high-growth segments while continuing to push hard to expand margins. Four years after its listing and a year after acquiring Ecom Express, Barua says India’s logistics sector is headed for consolidation, arguing that th
Gurugram-based Delhivery, which went public in May 2022, had been the bellwether for the performance of India’s ecommerce industry until the December 2025 listing of Meesho. Barua said that the company was increasingly witnessing vertical ecommerce players and direct-to-consumer (D2C) brands taking
MakeMyTrip group CEO Rajesh Magow said the optimism level among airlines is improving, and noted that commercial LPG supply in the country is being restored. "The US looks like it wants to get out of the conflict one way or the other. There is hope now," he said. "The recovery for long-haul and west
Chinese open-source models, which were already popular among startups due to lower costs, may now make their way to large enterprises looking to avoid disruptions to top-dollar artificial intelligence projects. “The choice is pragmatic, not political,” said Nipun Kalra, managing director and senior
The latest update to hermes-memory-installer introduces a focused set of features that directly address production-level concerns: observability, storage management, security, fault tolerance, and performance introspection. If you maintain a message-processing pipeline or job queue, these are the co
Circuit breakers and bulkheads are design patterns — their numbers are operational weapons. Failure ratio 50% or 30%? Max concurrent calls 25 or 100? During an outage the right answer changes hourly. Code the pattern once; tune thresholds live. Kiponos.io separates resilience structure (in Java) fro
Labeled break/continue is now live across the entire Cx language stack. From the lexer to the JIT, two commits streamlined the implementation into a complete vertical slice. No parts left out, no corners cut—everything just works. If you're handling character literals and labels in the same codebase
I got laid off in March 2026. The day HR handed me the 30-day notice, I had a small panic attack, then opened my laptop and started building things. Here's the deal: I had 30 days before severance ran out, and I wanted to see how much I could ship with AI tools before the money (and motivation) ran
My kid said he wanted to do origami. I sent my Agent a single sentence asking it to handle the origami materials. It searched for tutorials on its own, printed out the origami guide along with sheets of paper. Later I wanted a different color, so I told it again, and it reprinted everything. From "I
