How being lazy made me a better developer

Before I start lemme inform you that I don’t really have hobbies other than coding and gaming (which everyone loves anyway), and I’m honestly Z+++ lazy so lazy that my mom scolds me daily, but in a weird way this laziness pushes me to build things that make my own life easier. Me and my college friend (we’re in second year btw, and I probably have an exam next week idk whenever you’re reading this but yeah) always daydream about getting placed in some U.S. company or FAANG and earning in dollars, and every single time we end up Googling “convert USD to INR” to calculate our imaginary expenses and savings for our imaginary Lamborghini. I was too lazy to open Google and type it again and again, so I built a currency converter using React, Tailwind CSS, and a free API default set to USD -> INR so I don’t have to do anything. It’s not a big project, but it taught me API handling in React for the first time, and now I call APIs like they’re my girlfriend (I don’t have one). Another time, when boredom hit hard, I built a death calculator using TypeScript, Motion, and some basic JS logic pure brainrot but fun. These projects may look silly, but they help me learn and survive the boring days. And yes, I don’t only make dumb stuff; it’s just fun to share. I’m currently rebuilding another project purely out of laziness. All my projects are on my GitHub if you want to check them out see you soon with more chaotic builds.
