I think this was enough refreshment for me.
Booked my flight back to Lucknow for the 30th.
I’ve been very ungrateful the past couple of months.
I have a lovely job and I enjoy working with my team. It doesn’t even feel like work (I’ll do a dedicated tweet on this sometime later). I have people in my life that my April 2025 self would never have imagined.
I have every reason to be happy and do better. I have a brain that never sleeps and never lets me live in the moment, and that’s the source of my unhappiness. I don’t blame anyone for that.
I need to fix my health. I’ve ruined my appetite by not eating properly. That’s something I want to take seriously this time and fix.
2026 so far has been interesting in various ways and has turned out to be pretty good despite the hardships.
I don’t usually believe in hope because hope is a dangerous thing. But just for today, I’ll make an exception.
I hope what I already have stays.

the only reason I posted all this is because I know how scary it is getting overwhelmed by all the progress happening and it's okay to be scared that you might not make it. but there's something you should remember:
It only takes one big win to cancel all the losses. just one win.
for me that win was getting my first internship and it was just uphill from there. I'll say the same thing I said a year ago, keep your head down, keep working, keep learning , do not lose that curiosity at any cost, have that consistency, it's fine to have off days, it's fine to get distracted but never lose sight of your end goal. and when you do win you'll realise the amount of effort it actually takes to make it and you'll be grateful and proud of yourself that you put in the work.
may you never ever lose the desire to pursue things no matter how hard it gets.
keep grinding.

introducing brainrot in lunel
waiting for ai agents is boring. you open another tab, start scrolling, and completely forget the task is still running
lunel fixes that
the moment your ai starts working, we send you straight into brainrot mode, youtube, instagram, tiktok, x. no thinking, no switching, no wasted time.
and the second your agent is done, you’re pulled right back
no forgetting. no context lost. just results
Gruz@damnGruz
shutup and use lunel run codex, opencode, claude code and your whole dev setup directly from your phone for free
