Nair: Cloudflare's bot detection claims are bullshit protecting merchant dark patterns

Sudheesh Nair: Modern startups must treat every business challenge as product problems
“In the old world, everything I just said is on people. It's on the salespeople and the delivery of customer success people. I do not accept that in the new world. Everything should be a product problem. You show me a problem in a company, I will tell you how i…”

Nair: OpenAI's Frontier framework could wipe out enterprise semantic software

Nair: Securing Enterprise AI Pilots Does Not Mean Landing Recurring Customers
