Another day, another gym session completed. I'm genuinely surprised at this consistency thing - it's like I've unlocked some sort of character trait I didn't know existed.
The Documentation Rabbit Hole
Opened my laptop today with grand plans to code YappingAIs. Instead, I spent the entire day managing documentation and exploring learning resources. Before you roll your eyes, hear me out - sometimes learning IS the project.
When you're building something and you genuinely don't know what you're doing (which, let's be honest, is most of the time), research isn't procrastination. It's foundation work. You can't just open your laptop and code something randomly without understanding what you're building.
LeetCode Level Up
Managed to solve 2 problems today, and here's the kicker - one was medium difficulty. I've been camping in easy mode for way too long, so this felt like a small victory worth mentioning.
The Opportunity Paralysis
I've been checking out way too many things lately. It's not that I have unlimited time - it's the opposite. I don't have time to fail, so every opportunity feels urgent. Today I learned about Google's internal funding and marketing support for employees, which got me thinking about potential launchpads.
When you feel like you're running late to your own party, every door starts looking like the right one.
The Thinking Face Problem
Parents dropped some unexpected feedback today: "You look angry recently."
This caught me off guard because I'm usually a pretty chill person. But apparently, when I'm thinking about code or problems, I transform into this intense, focused person that nobody recognizes. My thinking face and my angry face are identical - a classic developer problem.
The real me is honestly just a dumb guy who doesn't think about much. But put a technical problem in front of me, and suddenly I'm this serious person plotting solutions (or appearing to plot someone's demise, according to family feedback).
Still Figuring It Out
Nothing to brag about here - I'm still at the very beginning of whatever this journey is. But I'm showing up, learning, and occasionally solving medium-difficulty problems. That's something, right?
