MCP just removed one of the biggest headaches in deploying AI agents...

SESSIONS

A MCP server works like this, A client connects and the server creates a session ID and then every future request must return to the same server instance.

It creates
- Sticky load balancing
- Shared session stores
- More connection management
- Extra infrastructure just to remember who is connected

Now MCP design is becoming stateless and each request carries the information needed to handle it.

So any healthy server instance can process the next request.

Simple difference, Huge deployment impact.

If you are learning or building MCP servers, ask your doubts below.

I was working from the Microsoft Noida Office where I met Naman...

He was never allowed to sit in college placements due to low CGPA of 6,

He was rejected by Adobe after all the rounds knowing his CGPA is low

Still he was managed to crack multiple internships, full time offers and currently working at Microsoft.

He is also building his own AI product to help everyone get successful at Inteviews

I have covered his whole journey, resources, apply strategy and skills to clear interviews in the AI era in this video

The video is already viewed by 85,000 people and growing, Go and watch now.

Software interviews are changing faster than I thought, For years, the playbook was simple...

DSA
System design
Behavioral rounds

Meta is testing AI-enabled coding interviews where candidates can use an AI assistant.

Google is piloting Gemini-assisted code comprehension rounds where candidates read, debug and optimize code with AI.

Canva encourages candidates to use AI in technical interviews and evaluates how they interact with it.

Arcade expects candidates to use AI in take-home exercises and even asks for transcripts of their AI conversations.

Stripe moved away from whiteboard-style coding and focused more on realistic laptop-based pair programming.

Amazon is going the opposite way and can disqualify candidates for unauthorized AI use during interviews.

Anthropic asks applicants not to use AI in applications because they want to evaluate unaided communication and personal interest.

Even McKinsey & Company is testing how candidates use AI in problem-solving interviews.

Companies are prioritising engineering judgement and AI thinking.

LeetCode is not dead. But LeetCode alone is no longer enough.

If you are preparing for software roles in 2026, practice three things:
- Build with AI.
- Debug without blindly trusting AI.
- Explain your decisions out loud.
That is what modern engineering interviews are slowly moving toward.

In college I used to think freelancing was free money, Then reality hit...💯


Second year, I was getting 5,000 to 10,000 a week from web dev and NLP projects. Felt incredible.

Until I realised I couldn't keep up with college assignments, couldn't study DSA properly, and my sleep was completely broken.

The bigger mistake wasn't the workload though. It was the business model.

Most clients don't come back. They either don't have more projects, or by the time they do, they need someone with different skills. I was constantly hunting for the next client instead of building anything that compounded.

And today the game has changed completely.

Building a website or automating a workflow for a client isn't a skill gap anymore. Anyone can vibe code a solution with Replit or Codex or Claude Code AI tools in a weekend. The commodity work is gone.

The freelancers who will survive this are the ones solving genuinely niche problems. Local businesses that run on WhatsApp and Excel.

Industries that haven't been touched by software yet. Clients who don't have the bandwidth to figure this out themselves even if the tools exist.

If I were starting out today I'd pick one of those pockets and go deep, not cast wide.

A few things I wish someone told me in college about freelancing:

- Don't let it eat your grades giving yourself false comfort that you're learning something more valuable. You'll regret it.

- If you want to scale it seriously, do it with friends so you can cover more clients across different domains.

- And nobody tells you this but your freelancing experience doesn't count as professional experience on most job applications. Just something to know.

- Try it, learn from it, but don't get addicted to the weekly cash if you have bigger goals.

What's your freelancing story?

Sam Altman bet in 2024 that AI would make a one-person billion dollar company possible…💯
Matthew Gallagher just made him right.

He launched Medvi from his LA home in September 2024. $20,000 to start, and took two months to build. ChatGPT, Claude and Grok wrote the code. Midjourney and Runway made the ads. AI handled customer service. He ran the whole thing alone.

$401 million in revenue in 2025. 16.2% net profit margin. His only hire was his brother Elliot.
They're on track for $1.8 billion this year. 📈

If you want to read more continue else it's enough info for a small talk with friends. 🥲
For context, Hims and Hers did $2.4 billion last year with 2,442 employees and a 5.5% margin. Gallagher is running nearly 3x the margin with a headcount of 2.

The architecture is deliberately thin. He doesn't own doctors, pharmacies, or logistics. He rents them from infrastructure partners and owns the customer relationship entirely. Branding, website, paid media, checkout, support. All of it was built with AI.

What I find genuinely interesting as someone who builds AI systems at scale. Gallagher didn't build AI. He used it as a replacement for entire departments. The moat isn't technology, it's execution velocity.

There are real risks worth noting. The GLP-1 regulatory window is narrowing, the FDA has issued 30 warning letters to similar telehealth providers, and the model is easily replicable by anyone with the same infrastructure access.

But none of that takes away from what this proves. The one-person billion dollar company isn't a thought experiment anymore.

What does this change about how you think about building?
