    Thoughts: Give ’em the bones, and they’ll play with it

    May 12, 2026 - By Praveen Nair

    Years ago, one of my mentor gave me a piece of advice that sounded oddly simplistic at the time: “Give ’em the bones, and they’ll play with it.” I laughed when I first heard it. Back then, I interpreted it as a shortcut mindset. A way of saying “just throw something out there” Over the years, working across enterprise programs, modernization initiatives, and high pressure delivery environments, I realized it meant something far more practical. It was never about lowering standards. It was about understanding how organizations react to uncertainty. As architects, we operate in an uncomfortable middle layer: The…

    My 2025 book life

    December 29, 2025 - By Praveen Nair

    As 2025 wraps up, this year looked very different from my earlier ones. I did less physical reading overall, with most of my learning happening digitally. That said, here are my notable offline reading milestones. Deep Work by Cal Newport : Picked this up based on Reddit recommendations. A solid read on managing distractions and cultivating focus. Did it completely change my habits? I am still figuring that out. Mathematical Statistics by S.C. Gupta and V.K. Kapoor : A classic from my college days. Unexpectedly relevant again, and extremely helpful for revisiting the foundations behind my more traditional AI learning.…
