You don’t get good before doing the work — you get good by doing it. Repetition + awareness = mastery.
First, do the thing. Then, do it well. Mastery is just repetition with awareness.

The biggest flex in your 20s isn't a job title. It’s having skills that make you unemployable-proof.

Everybody wants “experience.” Nobody wants to give you your first chance. Still… keep building. Projects speak louder than CVs.

We don’t get a second take, a re-run, or a bonus round. One day, the story will end for all of us and everything we once worried about will dissolve into silence. That’s exactly why the chapters we’re living right now deserve to be full of meaning. Not the kind you pretend to

From the last few days, my exams are going on and I don't know why my mind is getting a lot of ideas to work on and I just end up validating them using different tools. Is this happening with anyone else too or am I the only one facing this issue? 😅🤦

This hits hard. Master these and life gets a lot simpler: Clear goals. A strong why. Good habits. Fewer distractions. And priorities that actually matter. Do this and you become unstoppable. 🔥
To be focused, know your goals. To be fulfilled, know your purpose. To be consistent, know your habits. To be unstoppable, know your why. To be confident, know your strengths. To be successful, know your priorities. To be disciplined, know your distractions.

Every time I build a new feature, I realise how much I don’t know. But that’s the fun part — shipping → breaking → fixing → learning. That loop made me a better developer than any course ever could.

The moment I stopped trying to “learn everything first” and started shipping messy stuff, everything changed. Half my projects look like disasters… but those disasters taught me more than any course could.

You don’t need a CS degree. You need to ship code weekly. Start with one commit today. What's your repo?

Every day I’m learning, building, and showing up. I’m just quiet right now because of exams — but I’m still grinding in the background. I’m waiting for that one moment… That one project that gets me a remote job. That one post that blows up and brings thousands of people in a

Most of these libraries are actually helpful for me while building projects😌
Frontend libraries I refuse to code without in 2025: 🔶 zod – validation 🔶 react-hook-form – forms 🔶 tRPC + react-query – data sync 🔶 shadcn – UI 🔶 motion – animations 🔶 date-fns – date utils 🔶 zustand – state management 🔶 nuqs – search params 🔶 recharts – charts 🔶 ai –

Every time I build something, I break something else. And weirdly, that’s how I learn fastest.

I met a guy at a small co-working space a few weeks ago. He always sat in the corner with his laptop, headphones on, staring at the same JavaScript tutorial for hours. One day I asked him, “Learning something new?” He sighed and said, “Trying to… but honestly, I feel stupid.

Every day you write even one line of code, you’re already ahead of the version of you who didn’t start. Show up. Improve. Repeat.

Most developers underestimate the power of tiny progress. One bug solved. One concept understood. One commit pushed. That’s how you actually grow. Small, consistent steps beat random bursts of motivation every single time.
