“Corroboration Is All You Can Certify”
Poison a knowledge graph; I prove how much of the answer is still true.
Usually less than the answer thinks.
Researcher at IIT Hyderabad, top 1% competitive programmer, powerlifter, and author of AI tooling people actually star. This page is the editorial. Modesty was cut in code review.
The judges demanded proof. He brought receipts.

The section recruiters scroll to first. Hi. Screenshots are allowed.

Code strangers can read. Some of them even starred it.
Makes AI coding agents talk less, build less and say more: 44% of the output tokens, eleven agents, zero dependencies.
Like a senior dev who bills by the syllable.
The only tool in its class that publishes the benchmarks it loses. Terrible growth strategy. Weirdly effective.
my reposThe smaller children. Loved equally, publicly.
upstreamCode I left in other people's houses.
closed without merging: stdlib-js, p5.js, open-sauced, appwrite, ballerina-lang
Deeply character-building. We don't talk about it.

48 repos were audited. These survived. The snake game knows what it did.

Three theses, one sleep schedule. Anything titled 'X is all you need' is read with suspicion — mine included.
Poison a knowledge graph; I prove how much of the answer is still true.

Semantic caches can serve an attacker's answer to your question. Found the law behind it, then the loophole: attack success 63% → 0.
Condolences to the attackers.
Zipf's law already fixes how many learning timescales a model needs: about nine.
Every deployed system has two. Nobody asked Zipf.
§5 · Solution, part four
The origin story. 20,000 witnesses, none of them paid.
Before the ratings and the retrieval pipelines, there was a math page. Dare2Solve grew into a community of more than 20,000 people solving problems they were told were too hard for them. I founded it, I still run it, and it is still the best proof I have that difficulty is mostly a rumor.
The classroom cuts both ways — five years of collecting tools and the scars that teach you how to hold them.
Off the keyboard, I'm a powerlifter. The only PRs I set without a code review.
toolbox — used in anger, sorted by eraProficiency claims audited by the same guy who wrote them.
languages — fluent in semicolons
algorithms — the DSA years
AI / retrieval — the thesis arc
web — the rent payers
infra & security — trust issues, professionally applied
