i hear everything twice

dhir katre

i'm dhir. i grew up somewhere in between - suburban nagpur, i moved to corvallis, oregon for my M.S. and it's very quiet here at night. i build things that run fast and don't lie. i fall too hard for things - people, ideas, a really clean abstraction. still figuring out the tracklist. the beat is good though

got of call with nate tucker from kiloforge, super nice guy, changing the scenario of building things, instead of betting on a single product, their bet is to make a factory which makes 1000 such prooducts which are fully complete and the ideas are also gathered from real users who are posting on reddit or X posting ideas which are not implemented yet
