Times of India | He almost failed computer science. Now Y Combinator and Z Fellows are backing this teen in Delhi

AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information.

Samrath Singh Chadha, a 19‑year‑old mathematics (and philosophy) student from Delhi, turned a early failure in computer‑science into a self‑driven passion for programming, building a password manager at 14 and launching an internship platform, InternNova, at 13. After teaching himself C and Python, he joined online founder communities, partnered with a co‑founder in the Bay Area, and earned a spot in Y Combinator and Z Fellows, receiving $600 k in funding before writing any code in San Francisco. Although his initial YC product—a voice AI for landing pages—prompted rapid pivots, he eventually focused on creating a compact AI agent that maps and navigates codebases, achieving notable gains on the SWE‑bench benchmark. Chadha acknowledges AI‑driven job displacement but argues that those who learn to build with these tools will see rising demand, and he urges aspiring founders to apply to accelerators for the discipline of articulating their vision.

Typing Your Django Project in 2026

The first version of Django was released about 10 years before Python standardized its type hints syntax. Because of this it’s not surprising that getting type hints to work in your Django project is not going to be trivial. django-stubs with mypy If you want your Django codebase to be type checked then django-stubs is the go to package to use. It ships both type-stubs for most of Django’s public APIs as well as a mypy plugin that fills in the typing information for all the dynamic black magic that we love Django for. You’ll also want to include the monkeypatch from django-stubs-ext for best results.
