Welcome to the garden of Anurag Bhandari the developer, a generalist software engg.
This little space on the web is where I write about my coding (mis)adventures, share bookmarks, and scribble short notes to help my future self (and you?) learn something useful.
🎩 Hats I have worn over the years:
Full-Stack Engineer, Engineering Manager, Frontend Architect, Applied R&D Technologist, Linux
Developer, OSS Founder, and "the guy who'll fix my computer".
I love experimenting with shiny new things ✨, learning through knowledge sharing 📣, and spraying emojis 🙂.

Trying out Google’s Antigravity IDE. Early thoughts: love the UI/UX tweaks on top of VS Code, inline code hints are laggy and noisy, browser integration looks promising, visual feedback to agents for a web project is a game-changer, agent manager looks cool.
It’s rare these days that I get excited about a movie from its trailer. Well, Project Hail Mary has got me excited. Can’t wait to watch it. The book was a fantastic read. I hope the movie turns out to be as fun as the book.
Are you investing your time exclusively in safe bets with additive returns—eg. technical skills or in additive bets AND multiplier bets—eg. speaking, questioning, systems thinking? What’s driving you — auto-pilot calendar or intentional toil for career equity?
Based on declining restaurant sales and reduced parcel deliveries, Gergley predicts signs of weakening consumer spending in the US. That’s what he’s attributing for Amazon’s latest mass layoffs - not AI or over-hiring. While it does make sense for e-commerce companies to prepare for impending economic headwinds, it still baffles me how one of the most profitable companies on planet treats its employees as commodities. I’m sure they have enough cash reserves to survive the next ten years without layoffs, no?
Fascinating story of LLVM (C/C++ compiler tools), the first real contender to the generations-old GCC. Nothing better than a nice origin story of a dev tool - inspirations, struggles, politics, and success. I didn’t get to the part about Swift, but really curious now.
