hours, days, weeks, months, and years of working alone in silence, battling self-doubt, keeping my perfectionism in check, cutting out all distractions. constantly adapting. nothing worth the grind comes easy, that’s a fact, and i’m okay with that
if you're confused about whether the imagery you're thinking of really happened to you or if it's from a past dream, it's probably from a dream. reality is less likely to be mistaken like that. happened to me almost 1000 times. consistent
sometimes when i walk, i get a sort of out-of-body experience. a moment of pure clarity, where i see my whole life as a series of brute-force decisions. madly searching for the best path, best outcome. failing, learning, adjusting, trying, with pure stubbornness
you see these gaps between trees? it’s called 'crown shyness' where leaves avoid touching. beautiful. it’s like the 'halocline' where seas don’t merge, as mentioned in the quran [25:53, 55:19-20]
another regular day: code and coffee. be grateful for the blessings in your life. a regular day is actually a BLESSING. stay thankful to Allah, anon:wq
update: still at it. learned golang and using it to solve these problems. current status: killing it. actually loving go
future gopher in the making🦾🗿🦾
i've been building projects for a year. yesterday, i decided to spend a month on leetcode to challenge my understanding in areas i'm not familiar with. i did leetcode earlier this year, and it was good. doing leetcode once a year for a month straight seems like a good balance
today, i bought something i’ve wanted for ages but didn’t have the chance to get. the perfect pull-ups that fit my exact needs. wait for the hulky back!
if you’re not lifting and you’re STRESSED from learning/building, you’re ngmi. you’ll either burn out or mess up your back/neck. stress builds up in your muscles, and if you’re not working out to RELEASE it, you’ll crash. so hit the gym, lil bruh

don't sell your soul for the public. be yourself. live in isolation with your chosen circle: family and friends. don't chase fame or public attention. your time on earth is TEMPORARY. have a noble goal and focus on leaving a lasting impact on humanity
maybe the guy you think is so smart is just older than you. he has had more time, so that’s why he seems well-informed. instead of bitching about it, outplay him by leveraging your time too
just started messing with mobile dev for fun, built a simple app. it's lowkey way easier than web dev, fewer things to worry about. dunno if that's accurate or nah, i’ll keep checking over the next few days
i actually have the tendency to get more addicted to things than the average person. it’s annoying but can also be positive, like a huge level of commitment, if i convince myself to do something, you know? but at the end of the day, it feels like living on the edge of a sword

even if you’ve got a phd, if your grammar sucks in your native language, you suck. good grammar isn’t a bonus, it’s a must
you will lose -1000 aura, sorry🗿
if you’re not doing something dumb every day, it’s because you’re too clueless to notice. we’re all dumb, and if you’re not paying attention or reflecting, you’re just in the dark
when you close your eyes in a sunlit room, the type of imagery your brain produces are WAY different from those in dark. it got some sense of childlike nostalgia
just keep grinding. when things get f'ed up, just sleep. one thing that keeps me sane is: you’re not depressed, you just need some sleep. my bed, i'm coming
sometimes i fantasize about having a cool roommate i vibe with, both of us working on the same project. i bet that would boost my productivity 10x because i get more energized around people i like

It depends. If the logic flow is complex and can be broken down into smaller pieces, then using (.then) is the way to go. If it's simple, try/catch works fine
One thing I like about (.then) is that it lets you handle errors in each step instead of having a single general catch
the paradox is, for me, clouds are the most element in nature that i absolutely adore. but once it rains, i switch to the exact opposite. it's funny when i think about it
i think people don't understand how crazy this is. like, elon and trump can publicly and openly roast and criticize the president (biden) and kamala, but they can't say a single WORD about israel. lol? anon, there is no matrix, it's all israel
alhamdulillah, i cashed out 8 days pre-crash, 6 days before buffett dumped apple. now i'm ready to code in chill and wait for the dip of the dippity dip
day 4, still at it. been challenging but fun. realized it's better to solve problems in order, to avoid future headaches. found some great stuff on
@neetcode1
, the roadmap is an absolute gem. i’m finishing it all, just wait

I can search a database with 32 million records in less than 50 milliseconds.
This speed is insane!
There's no reason your search is slow. There's no reason you aren't using this library when building applications with a lot of data.

Now, I'm trying it again in VSC, but there's a weird issue: Vim's clipboard is separate from my system's. When I yank (copy) text in Vim, it doesn't save outside of Vim, so I can't paste it with Ctrl•V
nativewind is fucked. wasted two days trying to fix it. decided to create my own alternative. then realized i wasn't sure how the react-native bundler handles unused styles (it doesn't even treeshake🫤)
i scrapped it all and went back to raw stylesheet, fml ._.
