My comment was more centered around the UX of UPI. But to address your point, there is a separate app for tourists called UPI One World, works as a digital wallet and the UX is similar.
If they can make it as seamless as UPI, that would be incredible. UPI, imo, is the pinnacle of ease of internet payments - as seamless and quick as it can get.
Idk, just feels so counter sometimes to build and refine these (seemingly non-deterministic) tools to build deterministic workflows & get the most productivity out of them.
This is doing more to keep me away from "vibe coding" than anything else. Look, I'm genuinely interested in using AI as a tool and trying to boost my productivity in any way possible - I equate this to activities from the past like learning shortcuts of my editor, learning to type fast, and so on - but, the almost persuasive nature of this README, just pushes me away.
Not to mention using lines of code as a metric of usability is just _whatever_.
> As of my knowledge cutoff in October 2023, Paul Edwin Zimmer did not publish a fourth novel in the Dark Border series. The series comprises three books:
> 1. The Lost Prince (1982)
> 2. King Chondos' Ride (1982)
> 3. A Gathering of Heroes (1987)

> Paul Edwin Zimmer had plans to continue the series, but he passed away in 1997 before any additional novels were completed or published. There have been no posthumous releases of a fourth Dark Border novel. If there have been developments after October 2023, I recommend checking recent publications or official announcements for the most up-to-date information.
> 1. Have you ever been laid off from a job for reasons that were not related to your performance?
Yes. Only once, and it happened in March as a part of a cost cutting exercise.
I was working at the company - a product startup - for 2.5 years.
> 2. Did this affect your job search / career afterwards?
No. I went back to my previous employer where I worked for 6 years, they were gracious enough to welcome me back.
The only thing that bothers me at times is the pay differential - I had to take a paycut moving back to my older org.
> 3. Do you feel that being laid off from a job prevented you from recovering due to social stigma around being under / unemployed?
To an extent, yes. The initial days were the hardest as I thought I was untouchable as an employee - I've been a top performer for a majority of my career - so being laid off was definitely a shock.
It took a few weeks to get over it but it was fine as soon as I had a job in hand.
After the recent changes to usage, I've spent an annoyingly long number of hours trying to get this to work.
