Another day in the life of a developer where the code isn't the hardest part to figure out.
The Technical Rollercoaster
Morning started simple enough: install Tailwind CSS. Should be straightforward, right? Wrong. Spent half the day battling mysterious "npx" errors that made absolutely no sense. You know that feeling when you're staring at your terminal, questioning every life choice that led you to this moment? Yeah, that was my Monday morning.
Finally got Tailwind running, only to realize I had lectures from 9 AM to 4 PM. Missed attendance in one class because sometimes the universe has a sense of humor.
The People Problem
Here's where it gets interesting. Remember that ideathon team I mentioned? Turns out they're "a little tooooo busy" to actually work on our project. I was planning this amazing pitch, thinking we'd create something solid together. Instead, I get the classic "let's do it in 2 minutes" approach.
You know what? I'm done. Going solo.
The Unexpected Win
The day ended with me hand-washing clothes in the hostel—no washing machine, just pure hand power. But here's the twist: my wrist, which has been bothering me for weeks, actually worked well.
Tomorrow's Reality Check
The plan? Learn Figma animations, dive deeper into Tailwind, and tackle React Router. Sounds unrealistic? Probably. But when you're working alone, at least you're only disappointing yourself if things don't go according to plan.
The real lesson from today: sometimes the biggest debugging challenge isn't in your code—it's in your team dynamics. And sometimes, the best solution is to refactor your entire approach and go it alone.
Time to prove that solo doesn't mean lonely in the development world.
