In starting a tech project, it will humble you in ways life has no right to. You begin with confidence, chest out, telling yourself, “This idea is fire. I’ll finish it in two weeks. Maximum”.
Then you open your laptop… and that’s where the suffering begins.
At first everything is smooth. You’re designing screens, writing code, sketching features, doing “Tech Bro” or “Tech Founder” in peace. Then, out of nowhere, one tiny problem appears. A small bug. Just one. And suddenly the whole project starts behaving like it’s possessed.
You fix one thing, two new problems rise up like angry twins.
You change one function, five other features stop working.
You Google the solution, Google replies with answers that look like PhD thesis.
You go to StackOverflow, the replies there make you question your basic intelligence.
And those moments when your laptop starts making fan noise like it wants to take off to Dubai….. that’s when you know the battle has become spiritual.
The funniest part? When you spend hours debugging only to discover the entire problem was caused by one missing bracket or one stubborn semicolon.
You just stare at the screen like, “So this tiny idlot is the reason I haven’t slept”?
But the real comedy is explaining this frustration to normal people.
You tell someone, “I’ve been stuck on an issue for days,” and they confidently say, “Why not just restart it?”
At that point, you know you and that person are living in two different dimensions.
Yet somehow, despite the stress, the confusion, the headaches, the late nights, the self-doubt, the frustration….. you still keep going. Because the moment something finally works…..that small feature clicking into place…… the joy resets your entire brain.
And suddenly you remember why you started.
You remember the vision.
You remember the future you’re building.
And you continue.
Tech is chaotic.
Tech is stressful.
Tech is full-time comedy mixed with full-time headache.
But one thing is sure: once you enter this field, it grabs you like a stubborn spirit.
I usually call the spirit of tech ‘Codeshaman’.
You can complain, you can threaten to quit, you can even close your laptop dramatically…..but by evening, you’ll open it again.
Because this path is yours.
And you’re too deep in the journey to turn back now.
I love what I am doing.
