I watched silicon arrive.
I'm Deepak Bhagat. I have been around for every major shift in computing -- silicon, analog, the .com era, the internet, and now AI. I write for people who watched it all unfold and want to understand where we are now.
Who I write for
If any of these sound like you, you are in the right place. If none of them do, you might still find something useful here -- the connecting tissue is curiosity about where technology has been and where it is going.
Retired Silicon Valley professionals
You spent decades in the industry. You watched mainframes give way to PCs, PCs give way to the web, and the web give way to mobile. AI feels different. I write for you.
Tech-savvy seniors learning AI
You used computers professionally for thirty years. You can absolutely keep up with AI. The path is just less obvious than it was for everything before. I make it less obvious.
Anyone who watched the .com era
If you remember the moment the internet went mainstream, you have the right context for this moment. AI is the same shape of wave. I write for the pattern recognition you already have.
