Techstructive Weekly #76

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.

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”).

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.

This is cool, we make logging a mess. For logs we need to have separate scripts to get relevant data. How much chaos it can be.

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

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.

This is cool advice. I like writing, side projects, oss, reading, and making stuff. It just shows the passionate flowing out.

Ah! This is a developer trying to love his craft, yet the people are cruel to not respect it. They just want to solve problems; no one cares, they are right, but empathy is traded for business value.

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.
