Kurian, huge thanks for hijacking this month’s Kolaambi and shipping such a thoughtful edition.
This is exactly the community spirit we keep talking about - builders sharing what they know so the rest of us can learn faster. I hope you had fun writing it. Your experience in the domain is commendable, and the way you talk about AI makes it feel relatable and authentic for our folks.
I’ve watched your growth up close, so I’m extra proud we finally pulled this off after all that planning. This gives us a ton of confidence to bring in more guest writers in the coming months. Onwards. 🙌
And a big thank you to Arundhathi for the editorial polish and for covering the “What’s brewing at TinkerHub” section.
