Once you get used to learning from those zero-production-quality videos on youtube, there's no going back. I find it hard to trust people with high-quality microphones and clear cameras now. My mind immediately goes "I'll have to verify this info from a low-quality video"

retweet this tweet to participate to get Harkirat's 0-1 course and I'll run a random retweet picker on 15th May at 12am IST no need to follow me or comment or dm or any other shit PS: GOD WHY DID I THINK ABOUT A GIVEAWAY so much confusion about how to choose the deserving one, so we trust luck like how some companies do🥰 (yes life is unfair.)

Script dump from the upcoming video. How I learnt coding in the past 10 years. Hook - So funnilly enough, I joined my CS degree on 1st May 2014. Today, I complete 10 years since I started to learn how to code. Here are a few learnings from it if you're in the same boat. 1. Initial motivations can be anything. If u didnt go to a CS degree, go to a bootcamp. If you cant afford a bootcamp, go to utube. But yes getting that first offer helps, and even if ur faking it till ur making it, its fine 2. Long term faith in the industry. Think about how we used to communiate until few years ago. How we used to date, trade, entertain, watch. it's all changed. All that value came to tech. Lot of that value came to people that built it. This will keep on happening, the human race is supposed to and should become more and more technically advanced. 3. Core interest. CS is a fairly new invention, like 50 years ago or so. In the end, its just a bunch of hardware in your hands and wires around the world that leads to businesses. There are many such fascinating things in the world. Chess for example, is a fascinating game based on how many permutaions and combinations of boards are there. People are crazy over chess. Most successful people, are similary, crazy over tech. They like going thorugh websites, hacknig them. The like understanding why / how things are built. Core interest in the field is probabluy the best thing u can do for long term success. 4. Most people leave tech. If a batch 100 joined some tech co/bank , maybe 10 keep coding new things every few years/keep switching. Most orhter a. Go back to brick and mortor businesses b. Become managers EMs (this limits growth but is a great path to chill) c. Keep doing the same thing that they've learnt, effectively become an AI that is not training anymore 5. Be an AI that's constantly training yourself. Atleast for the first 10-20 years. Ofcourse at some point family will be a thing and u'd want to chill, but before that grind it out. 7. Either learn or teach. There's no in the middle. Don't be in the company of the same 3 co workers of urs working on the same stack . Preferably find the rockstar in ur company and spend time with them. You only need this for the first few years, and then you're the rockstar . 8. How to talk to your machine keeps on changing. Php was ver popular at some point, JS is very popular today, something else might become popular tomorrow. That's half of what excites me to be in this field. There's a reason they say two tech people should never be cofounders, they'll keep over engineering the thing 9. If u are thinking of starting up, get non tech cofounders. 10. Its easy to become crazy in this industry. You'll notice beyond a point you're the odd one out in most groups. 99.9% of the world doesn't understand what coding is. Amongst the 0.1% maybe 0.01% actually can like talking about tech all the time. But you'll only be here for 10 years, if you're that odd idiot, the one whose talking about dangling pointers on a dinner conversation. Be that idiot. Nothing wrong in it. Find peace in coding, I've seen atleast for me that's become the case, I cant go without coding for more than 2 days. There's a constant urge in me to keep learning, not for any monetary reasons, that go away beyond a point very quickly there is a cieling in this industry. You'll never be ultra rich unless u start up, and whatever u can make as an employee (stock appreciation removed) hits ceiling very quickly. But you always know somewhere in the back of ur head that unless u keep learning, whatever is the next big thing you'll miss out on. Don't miss out on the next big thing. Peace

Sometimes you gotta stop chasing the things you want and just let them come to you …

throwback thursday

multi-comic monday

stay as long as u want forever would be good

Let’s pretend I didn’t forget multi-comic Monday.

It’s good to prepare.

Privacy 100

i love my space & privacy but i also crave attention & company. this gets worse when someone tries to be too friendly or too ignorant.

Swearing can give you a sense of calm, control, and well-being Doing it can also increase circulation, elevate endorphins, and boost your mood

Should I drop this ? 10k pre - saves and i might just :0 alecbenjamin.lnk.to/ShadowOfMine
