I know. “Exciting” and “security” don’t usually share a sentence. But stay with me. The Day Shadow AI Became Real for Me I remember the exact moment this problem clicked. A security team at a mid-sized enterprise had just finished a six-month DLP project.https://www.shagun.xyz/blog/softwareandcontentin2026/Wed, 28 Jan 2026 00:00:00 +0000https://www.shagun.xyz/blog/softwareandcontentin2026/I’ve been wrestling with a strange paradox lately: the easier it becomes to build software and create content, the more urgent it feels to start right now.

The Bell Curve Nobody’s Talking About When vibecode.dev, Claude Code, Cursor, and Emergent Labs hit the internet, these weren’t products from decade-old companies with hundreds of engineers. These were applications built at speeds that would have seemed impossible a few years ago - vibecoding, as we are now calling it(Terrible name btw, undermines a lot of impactful work).https://www.shagun.xyz/blog/twitter/Tue, 23 Dec 2025 00:00:00 +0000https://www.shagun.xyz/blog/twitter/I’m writing this as a living note. Not a growth hack thread. Not “10 tips to go viral.” But a clear mental model of how X (Twitter) actually decides who wins in 2025 — especially if you’re building in AI, cybersecurity, startups, or DevSecOps. My personal targets are aggressive: 500 verified followers 3M impressions 3 months No paid growth, no engagement bait So I went deep into the open-source X algorithm, creator data from 2024–25, and real-world testing.https://www.shagun.xyz/blog/surviving_startup_life/Sun, 16 Nov 2025 00:00:00 +0000https://www.shagun.xyz/blog/surviving_startup_life/Welcome to the startup life.
