Dharmesh Ruprela نشر ذلكAs agentic AI is evolving, we have seen the conversation shift from prompt engineering to context engineering. Turns out the model's output quality is far more sensitive to what's in the context window than how cleverly you wrote the prompt. Which makes sense if you think about it. You can ask a brilliant person a perfectly worded question and still get a bad answer if they're missing half the information they need. And this is what will be defining the quality of output produced by AI systems in production. Not because the model is bad. Because the context is noisy, bloated, or missing the thing that actually mattered. If you are building with AI right now, what's your biggest struggle with context?

Dharmesh Ruprela نشر ذلكAmazon built a leaderboard ranking employees by AI usage. It got shut down because people were running AI on pointless tasks just to game the score. They even had a name for it: tokenmaxxing. The engineers actually moving the needle weren't the ones using AI the most. They were the ones who knew when not to. The skill gap opening up isn't between people who know AI and people who don't. It's between people who can think clearly about when to use it and people who can't. Leaderboards won't capture that. But teams will feel it.

Dharmesh Ruprela نشر ذلكEveryone is building AI agents. And most of them fail quietly. Not because the models are bad. The models are genuinely impressive now. They fail because the scaffolding around them is fragile. Bad error handling, no retry logic, no way to recover when the LLM goes off-script. Engineers treat the prompt like it’s code and the code like it’s an afterthought. The teams getting this right aren’t the ones with the flashiest demos. They’re the ones who spent time on the boring stuff: observability, fallbacks, and knowing exactly when to hand control back to a human. We obsess over which model to use. We should be obsessing over what happens when it fails. That’s the real engineering problem nobody talks about.

Dharmesh Ruprela نشر ذلكAfter an incredible journey at Careem for 7 years, I'm navigating a chapter change due to recent restructuring that happened. I'm deeply grateful to the leadership, my teams, and our partners who made it possible to build and scale platforms that made an impact across food, quick commerce, smart mobility, partner platforms and beyond. Over the last decade, I've built and scaled systems and teams at Careem, Amazon and Zomato from 0→1 and 1→N across both sides of the marketplace: customer experience, seller/merchant platforms, and everything in between. From food and quick commerce to smart mobility, IoT-connected fleets, and partner platforms - I've worked at the intersection of commerce and movement, where reliability, speed, and scale are non-negotiable. I'm now actively exploring my next engineering leadership role, whether that's doubling down on a domain I know deeply, or stepping into something new where strong platform thinking and team-building instincts travel well. If you're building at scale and need someone who can hold both the technical and the human side of the equation, let's talk. To anyone navigating a similar transition right now and needs support I'm opening up my topmate.io calendar(Link in comments) for the next 30 days, with one session each day dedicated to helping people find their footing and their next role. And any platform fees earned from these sessions will go straight to a cause worth supporting, I'll be donating them in full.

Mustufa Khan That is still fine I think. Putting that on a leader board to glorify/celebrate as an outcome might not be the best way to encourage adoption.

Dharmesh Ruprela أضاف إعجابًا إلى ذلكDharmesh Ruprela أضاف إعجابًا إلى ذلكClaude Sonnet 5 is available today. Over the past year, the clearest capability gains have come from our largest models. This is the biggest jump we’ve ever seen for a Sonnet model: roughly Opus 4.7 class on coding and agent tasks. For builders deciding what to run in production, it's the best cost to capability ratio in the Claude lineup. Our goal is for you to have the best model at every size. Opus for the hardest problems, Sonnet for the work your teams run all day, Haiku when speed and volume matter most. Sonnet 5 is the biggest step we've taken on the middle of that curve. It's also a drop-in upgrade. Same API, same price, same speed targets as Sonnet 4.6. Swap the model string and you get better results immediately on multi-file code changes, long agent runs, and browser automation, with a 1M token context window and 128K output. Sonnet 5 is live today in Claude Code, and on the Claude API, Amazon Bedrock, Google Cloud Vertex AI, and Microsoft Foundry. $3 per million input tokens and $15 per million output, with introductory pricing of $2/$10 through August 31.

Dharmesh Ruprela أضاف إعجابًا إلى ذلكDharmesh Ruprela أضاف إعجابًا إلى ذلكEveryone says AI will let companies do more with fewer people However, Sam Altman recently made an observation that seems to suggest the opposite The companies adopting AI the most are also the ones hiring the most which sounds contradictory We should think about what happens when a team becomes 2x more productive People would assume that the company cuts the team in half, but that is only true if the company's ambition stays the same. In reality, ambition rarely stays the same When building gets cheaper… You don't stop building… You build more… You pursue ideas that weren't worth pursuing before… You enter new markets sooner… You run ten experiments instead of two… You solve problems you've been postponing for years That is exactly what happened with cloud computing. It's what happened with open source. And I think AI follows the same pattern. The constraint shifts. When execution becomes cheaper the judgement becomes more valuable. The question is no longer: "Can we build this?" It is "What's the highest-leverage thing we should build next?" Companies that see AI as a cost-cutting tool may end up with smaller teams. Companies that see AI as an ambition multiplier will probably end up hiring more people because it made a much bigger game worth playing

Dharmesh Ruprela أضاف إعجابًا إلى ذلكDharmesh Ruprela أضاف إعجابًا إلى ذلكBuilder Lab #2 went down yesterday and what a day 🥳 Five demos on Claude Code. And an open mic segment that was definitely my favourite moment of the event. Thank you again to Adonis Cyril, Patrick B., aadithyan rajesh, Kashyap Jois, and Sahand Sorouri for the demos; from optimising /goal command to multi-agent handovers to using Claude Code on your phone, it was really fun to watch. We also tried something new this time; an open mic segment where anyone in the audience could ask a question to the room. With 50-60 builders in the room, I wasn't sure how it would turn out. Super glad we tried it. People brought up world models, hyperframes, AI evals, and more; the kind of questions they have always been curious about but rarely get to ask in a room full of builders. The room felt intimate and I love it. Thank you to the Savva team for hosting us again. Apologies to anyone who melted in the heat 😅 Hopefully it'll be better next time round. And to everyone who showed up, thank you! ❤️ Dubai AI Hub is what it is because of the people in the room. Next up: Builder Lab #3 in July. Something big lined up that I'm really excited about. Announcement soon. Easiest way to stay in the loop for future events is to follow Dubai AI Hub calendar on Luma: https://lnkd.in/dZ7tN2XZ 🚀 Shout out to Adonis Cyril for mentioning it.

Dharmesh Ruprela أضاف إعجابًا إلى ذلكDharmesh Ruprela أضاف إعجابًا إلى ذلكClaude down = panic attack Today Claude was down for 43 minutes. The WhatsApp group: “Hey guys, is Claude down for you as well?” “My flow is broken” That’s anecdotal, but that’s the realisation that AI has propagated everywhere. Inside your company’s workflow…and your new second (first) brain. Cool? Yes. Scary? Also yes! The scariest part is that today most businesses have zero LLMs fallbacks in their workflows. One outage, everything stops. At Epsilon.ai, we build AI systems that take this into account. Your automations don’t panic when Claude does :) (Ok, unless Claude, OpenAI and Google all go down at the same time) Wanna bulletproof your AI workflows? Let’s talk👇

Dharmesh Ruprela أضاف إعجابًا إلى ذلكDharmesh Ruprela أضاف إعجابًا إلى ذلكSundar Pichai left India. Satya Nadella left India. Shantanu Narayen left India. Kunal stayed. And today, Mark Zuckerberg wrote him a $900 million cheque. Every Indian-origin tech CEO you admire followed the same path. IIT → USA → Big title. Kunal Shah took a different road. Philosophy graduate from Mumbai. First salary ₹10,000/month. No IIT. No Silicon Valley. No foreign stamp. Built FreeCharge. Sold it for $400 million. Came back. Built CRED. Grew it to $4.5 billion. And Zuckerberg didn't just invest ₹8,550 crore. He handed Kunal the keys to WhatsApp. 3 billion users. The most used app on Earth. He replaced Will Cathcart An American executive who led WhatsApp for 6 years. Built it from 1.5 billion to 3 billion users. Replaced by an Indian founder who never left India. Why did Zuckerberg choose Kunal specifically? WhatsApp is no longer just a chat app. Zuckerberg wants it to become payments, AI and commerce. Biggest market for all three? India. Who has spent 15 years building exactly that in India? Kunal Shah Yesterday the dream was: leave India to lead. Today: Stay in India. Lead the world. The Indian dream just changed. Who's building next?

E Commerce app juggles between three different service endpoints to fetch product details, user reviews, and inventory Leading to brittle frontend, inconsistent authentication, random timeouts, bloated backend services with duplicate logic for security Solution: API Gateway Here's how it simplifies architecture 1. Instead of talking to dozens of services, client app makes one call to the gateway (Single Point of Entry) 2. Gateway intelligently gathers the data from the appropriate downstream services 3. Gateway handles security, rate limiting, and caching in one place (Centralized Cross-Cutting Concerns) 4. Gateway decoupling clients from services allowing backend team to refactor, merge, or split microservices without ever breaking the client application 5. Gateway can translate protocols, allowing client to speak simple REST/HTTPs while your backend services communicate using high performance protocols like gRPC 🤔 over to you, besides routing and security what are another powerful feature of API Gateway? Let me know in the comments! 👇 --- You've got System Design skills but showcasing them in 60 minutes interview is a completely different challenge for e.g. where to start? How much time to spend on HLD vs LLD etc Let me share a FREE 7-day email course that provides a step-by-step framework for acing your 60-minute System Design interview 📣 Join 1400+ subscribers and sign up for the course at systemdesign.engineer, to learn time allocation to demonstrate full range of design skills

"Cross-border expansion is often treated as a growth lever. In reality, it requires solving for operating architecture first." Scale demands cohesive systems that serve multiple regions efficiently. The paradox? These systems need to be modular enough to flex for local market needs, yet cohesive enough to scale without fragmentation. That balance is what separates expansion from sustainable growth. Really enjoyed being part of the panel at Retail ReMix discussing Cross-border Commerce at scale. Scaling e-commerce globally means learning fast, unlearning often, and building with local context in mind. Special thanks to Abhinav Patwa for his sharp insights and memorable analogies that cut straight to the point. To Khaled Boudemagh for his pace and thoughtful questions that pushed the conversation forward. And to Dharmendra Mehta for creating this community and platform that brings the retail ecosystem together. Loved seeing so many familiar faces; partners, colleagues, and new members of the community.
