Most teams build LLM evaluation suites to pass, not to catch regressions. The distinction between coverage evals and discrimination evals is the gap between a confidence machine and an actual quality gate.

India's 11.5% GCC increment figure looks healthy in aggregate. Split the data by AI specialisation, performance tier, and geography — and two separate markets emerge inside those averages.
The growth plateau at $10–15M ARR is familiar in Indian B2B SaaS. Engineering is strong, sales is working. The real bottleneck is almost always structural — and it starts with how product management was defined.
Most engineering metrics measure activity, not outcomes. As AI coding tools inflate the numbers further, it is time to be honest about what actually signals a healthy engineering team.
Most engineering teams review code the same way, and most are spending their time on the wrong things. A checklist for what only a human can catch — and what to stop debating.
p99 latency looks clean on your dashboard while users file timeout tickets. Here is the gap: how percentile aggregation, endpoint merging, and window boundaries systematically hide real tail latency — and what metrics to use instead.
Most engineering teams measure on-call fairness by rotation count. That metric is easy to generate and tells you almost nothing about who is actually carrying the burden. Here is what it consistently misses.
AI coding tools are raising PR velocity across the industry. They are also raising incident rates by 243%. Here is what the data shows and how to read the tradeoff honestly.
Most Indian SaaS founders obsess over free trial conversion. The real problem is the silent churn window between week six and week fourteen — the stretch where the initial excitement has worn off, onboarding has ended, and renewal is still months away.
Most pooling incidents are configuration problems, not capacity problems. This covers PgBouncer's three modes, the failure patterns each creates when misconfigured, and the pool-sizing maths teams get wrong.
