Not All Fuel Is Worth Burning

Blog, Business

Fundraising can be a distraction for small teams. As a tech founder, I prefer bootstrapping until hitting the expansion roadblock. Accepting investment early on is only justified when it's not just about the money. Sometimes staying lean keeps you clear.Y.

The Subtle Trap of Prioritizing Wrong

Blog, Philosophy

The act of "prioritizing importance" can evolve into established norms or habits over time. Sometimes these tendencies can lead to distorted perceptions of reality, which themselves create the basis for feelings of self-doubt, self-criticism, and depression. Let this sink in.Y.

Onward Through the Simulation

Blog, Notes

The relentless simulations these days, they've become as familiar as the outfit I wrap myself in. With a strong trajectory, hacking through fate after years of effort and persistence and finally, crossing the gateway to ascend several levels higher, where I ride on the wings of tranquility. There’s peace in seeing through the veil, and still choosing to walk.No echo needed. Yaashaar

Vital Signs and Silent Eyes

Blog, Notes

I don’t get the hype around the Apple Watch or any smartwatch. Why would anyone wear something that could be exploited to read your vitals, especially with AI’s growing ability to interpret our intentions or thoughts? Some lines weren’t meant to be blurred. Let’s be careful what we call progress.How about not taking our freedom for granted?Some of us have learned that the hard way. Y.

Adaptation Is Part of Belonging

Blog, Views

You can understand why some people in immigrant-receiving countries get frustrated with certain immigrants: no one rolled out a red carpet to help them learn about the immigrants’ language or culture. If they’re curious, they ask questions. Some might travel. But for most, it doesn’t really matter. Speaking loudly in your native language in public spaces where the official language is, say, English or French, or pushing street celebrations and street concerts in people’s faces, only damages the credibility of an immigrant community. If you’re planning to become a citizen, you need to adapt to the culture of that country and speak its language fluently. You can’t expect to hold on to every part of your cultural identity unchanged and assume the surrounding society won’t respond to that in some…

For Elaheh, and Every Woman Failed by the System

Blog, Politics

The murder of Elaheh Hosseinnejad is a heartbreaking tragedy that fills me with sorrow and anger. A young woman, full of life and potential, taken too soon. https://iranwire.com/en/women/141790-iranian-woman-found-murdered-after-suspicious-disappearance/ While I have no illusions about Iran’s government and its long history of repression and incompetence, I also recognize that crimes like this happen in many parts of the world, including countries like Canada. What makes the difference isn't just where it happened, but how societies respond. Do they investigate transparently? Do they hold institutions accountable? Do they reform to prevent the next tragedy? Too often, in Iran, the answer is no. If we truly want justice for Elaheh, it can’t stop at outrage. It has to push for change; real, structural change that protects women everywhere and makes sure their lives…

Life Doesn’t Run on Clean Code

Blog, Philosophy

Optimizing life's algorithms: Beware of the expectation bug. Joy thrives in the unpredictability of the code, so debug those high expectations and let the beauty of unexpected moments shine through. Maybe unpredictability is the real feature.Let the compiler surprise you.Y.

Is It Still Free If It Costs Sanity?

Blog, Notes

GIMP's UX as of Jan 9, 2025 is so bad, I wouldn't be surprised if Adobe funded the project and the open-source movement behind it just to sell more subscriptions! Freedom shouldn't feel like punishment.Someone, please fork this with mercy! Yaashaar

Tataloo, Iran, and the Making of a Misfit

Blog, Freedom

When it comes to Amir Tataloo, I think it's important to separate the artist from the person. Artistically, I find him to be an incredibly talented songwriter, performer, and musician. His latest work especially showcases his unique creativity and undeniable skill. His music has resonated with millions, and it's clear he has a rare gift. That said, I recently read about his detention in Iran and the reported death sentence he received. This is why I'm writing this.https://www.theguardian.com/world/2025/jan/19/iranian-court-sentences-pop-star-tataloo-to-death-for-blasphemy I don’t know Tataloo personally, but if I were to judge him solely based on his social media presence and the gossip that surrounds him, I wouldn’t say his personality, behavior, sporadic political alignment, or his stance on women’s rights particularly appeals to me. But I don’t want to get into the…
