Strongly held, loosely researched. Comedic essays and cultural takes
by Sarwagya Singh. Not the engineering site — that's eng.sarwagya.wtf.

## Takes

Every take has a raw-markdown twin at the same URL with a `.md`
suffix (e.g. `/takes/foo.md`) — LLM-agent-friendly, no HTML
scraping needed.

- [I accidentally built a feature for twelve people](https://bakaiti.sarwagya.wtf/takes/i-accidentally-built-a-feature-for-twelve-people.md): The story of a technically successful product that no market actually wanted. Approximately sixteen dollars a month of market research, in essay form.
- [I Lost My Name to a Three-Year-Old](https://bakaiti.sarwagya.wtf/takes/i-lost-my-name-to-a-three-year-old.md): I used to rank first on Google for my own name. Then a three-year-old learned chess. This is the counter-campaign.
- [FIFA Discovers the Presidential Review System](https://bakaiti.sarwagya.wtf/takes/presidential-review-system.md): VAR was never the problem. Football simply needed a direct line to the President of the United States.
- [The Future of German Football Arrived](https://bakaiti.sarwagya.wtf/takes/the-future-of-german-football-arrived.md): I have supported Germany for sixteen years. Every four years, I become a slightly older man and Germany finds a slightly newer way to ruin my summer.
- [Co-Dependent](https://bakaiti.sarwagya.wtf/takes/co-dependant.md): Marriage is about becoming a better person together. Apparently.
- [Your startup does not need Kubernetes](https://bakaiti.sarwagya.wtf/takes/your-startup-does-not-need-kubernetes.md): A love letter to the three users you have and the container orchestra you hired for them. Featuring autoscaling, YAML, and other ways to avoid finding product-market fit.
- [Threat Model](https://bakaiti.sarwagya.wtf/takes/threat-model.md): I had a joke about Indian politics. My parents live in India, so unfortunately it remains in drafts.
