What happens when you start taking creativity seriously

You have to defend your creativity

That just triggered me up.

Sachin Tendulkar didn’t became a God of Cricket by accident, he defended his goal, he played to his strength and not defend his weakness.

That doesn’t mean you can avoid responsibilities, you can pursue your career without neglecting duties, it proved by people.

Why we have inflated expectations, 6 feet 7 inches

This is so true

In the 1990s, a “middle-class job” was enough to buy a house. Being “6 feet” was enough to be tall.

In the 2020s, the middle has been hollowed out.

To be “wealthy” now requires a crypto-exit or a tech IPO (The Economic 6’7”).

To be “famous” requires global virality (The Social 6’7”).

To be “attractive” requires filters and surgery (The Aesthetic 6’7”).

A conversation between a developer and a kid

This is hilariously funny. What a real developer is? Who knows languages? No, who knows how to code, No! A developer is someone who sticks to a problem when everyone has given up. This conversation feels like me and my friend. My friend is the reason I am here today. He knew programming well. I was inspired from him, he gave me advice to learn one programming language, I was boasting about python, C and C++. I feel like a kid here. That was 7 years ago, time flies by.

On not using Django in 2026 due to AI?

I don’t quite get it. Maybe its true. Django provided a good start but then it was like a lock in.

With LLMs its quite easy to generate the boilerplatey code that django provides out of the box, so that demand is lost?

Its not the only reason django is here right? It has extensions, best python community and even more best documentation.

I think it will be the best framework to build with LLMs in the future if the ecosystem continues to improve

Fear is not advocacy

This is real advice. People are hyping about the next workflow to 100x our productivity. Its ok to be 1x and still push less bugs than 100x and push 1000 bugs.

you have everything you need

Man, that was a heck of an article to read. I continued reading it because I found it relatable to Minecraft.

  • You open a world, you have an empty inventory
  • Still you believe you can win the game
  • Without anything, “Kya lekar aya jagath me, kya lekar jayega” vibes

True, read it, it will change your perspective on reasoning for failure in a good way.

Interstitial Journaling

This is cool, maybe a little too much time aware, maybe doing it too much is bad, but still, a good way to break the mental procrastination cycle I think we can get a idea or get aware of the amount of time we wasted or done something good, and act on it accordingly. A nice trick for the brain

9:45: Wrap up the standup 9:54: Log clearing 10:15: Call with manager about the task 10:33: Felt bad
