Hi, I am your host Siddhartha! I have been an entrepreneur from 2012-2017 building two products AddoDoc and Babygogo. After selling my company to SHEROES, I and my partner Nansi decided to start up again. But we felt unequipped in our skillset in 2018 to build a large company. We had known 0-1 journey from our startups but lacked the experience of building 1-10 journeys.

Hence was born the Neon S... more

  • Serious probability flaw in Dilsher’s 29 June episode

    To be considered towards a game of skill on the skill-luck spectrum, Dilsher says that the probability of someone winning 90% of games is very less. Hence, it is a game of skill!

    Well, there isn’t just one user of the app. Given, n users (let’s say 1 lakh), you need to multiple the user level probability with entire sample to get the number of users.

    Even if all 1 lakh users were just betting on 10 coin tosses (ie 10 games), 1% will win 90% of the games. (10/1024)

    That is 1000 users.

Why Your AI is Still a Demo: Lessons from Braintrust’s Field CTO
Q: Can you give an example using one of your customers, like what agents they are shipping, and how Braintrust plays a role in them shipping production-grade agents?
Ameya explains that customers build complex agentic systems that understand user intent, reason through tasks, invoke tools, and interact with LLMs. Braintrust provides evals, observability, and post-sales field engineering to onboard, integrate, and continuously improve these systems, ensuring production-grade performance and repeatable quality.

Q: What role did multi-cloud and cloud-native architecture play in your exit strategies and product decisions?
Multi-cloud awareness and cloud-native design became central as enterprises moved data and workloads to the cloud. Building resilient, agentic capabilities that leverage cloud primitives (like S3) allowed the businesses to scale while maintaining strong cyber resilience, which was critical for attracting strategic buyers like Nutanix and Commvault.
