I tried to complete a task yesterday, but I couldn’t. I had to do extensive research on it and ended up watching endless videos. I should’ve just tried it, failed, and fixed the issues instead. Wasted six hours. For more failure stories, follow along.

I’ve lost track of time. I need to finish a few tasks before the end of the day and the end of the week. This is my last weekend at home. Next weekend, I’m flying back to my work city.

Good day today.
Set goals for 2026.
Started writing a draft.
Took an afternoon nap after ages and felt like a newborn.
Went through some pending tasks.
Not bad for the first day of the year.

Another eventful year is ending.
Hope you experienced great things, cared deeply, fell in love, worked on your fitness, finished that book, cracked your dream interviews, learned to swim, drive, or cook, & most importantly, learned to be peaceful & happy.
If not, there’s 2026.

The MongoDB vulnerability is concerning. Imagine the issue being there forever, only to be discovered during the holidays when no one is around.
Another long day for sure.

Good afternoon, ladies and gents!
It’s a long day ahead with two tasks to finish. One is already done. The bug fix turned out to be a feature tied to the new changes we deployed, which is a good thing. I already have the impl. plan.
I hope you all have a wonderful day ahead.

Just stop complaining about how messed up everyone is. We can’t control how others act, but we have 100% control over who we are. The world has enough critics. It needs more examples.

There are two bugs in the production environment of one of our apps due to an edge case. It’s going to be a busy day ahead.
I hope you’re enjoying the last Monday of the year.

One thing I realized today is that I can’t binge-watch series anymore. I tried with Stranger Things season 5 & it took me several days to finish the 4 episodes and two days to finish 3 more. I’m losing my mojo.
Just found out the final episode will be 2 hours long. Oh my!

Today has been quite an engaging day. I wrote a draft, read a bunch of articles, studied some topics, and watched Stranger Things S05 while taking constant breaks. Overall, a decent Saturday.
I hope you all had a great day.

AI is a tool that deeply assists developers, especially on large projects that serve millions of customers. But the people who said it could completely replace developers are now taking a U-turn.

Good afternoon, ladies and gents.
It’s incredibly cold these days. It feels like a blizzard out here.
I started Stranger Things season 5 and realized I can’t watch a series in one go anymore. I can’t binge-watch like before. 👀
I hope you’re all enjoying your day so far.
