I've already started Jounaling. And now that my new diary has arrived. It'll be more fun.

It's vintage and gives a pirate vibe.

Today I started studying about redis, pub/sub
set up redis in my side project chat-chord
Once I successfully apply that here I'll move to Synketsuki and implement that.

Day-16 of my grinding

Today I started implementing websockets in my project.
The main challenge I faced was to decide the architecture. How should I set up socket code?

I have:
- initialized socket
- set up
- write 3 event handlers

[Shouvik Sarkar @Skar_200]

This project has:
-> Individual chats
-> rooms(groups)
-> room chats' chat history.
-> The UI is really cool (Thanks to @ChatGPT )

[Shouvik Sarkar @Skar_200]

Day 14 of my grinding.
Completed my Discord like chat app -> chatchord.

Learnt a ton about sockets and the implementation.

It was really fun.

Going to apply the concepts in my main project.

(Special Thanks to Piyush Sir.)

(Don't read the chats 🫣)

[Shouvik Sarkar @Skar_200]

This project has
group chat
saved chat history
private chats

[Shouvik Sarkar @Skar_200]

After this project,

I have learnt:
1. how web socket works
2. How to broad cast a message to everyone
3. Send message to a certain client.
3. Send message to a certain client.

[Shouvik Sarkar @Skar_200]

Day 13 of my grind

Finally a Discord like chatting app
You have channels (group)
You can chat personally.

For this I have used @SocketIO
Have a few improvements to do and I'll push it to Git-Hub.

Time to implement the knowledge in my main project Synketsuki. 🤞🤞🤞

[Shouvik Sarkar @Skar_200]

@discord NOTE: I'm not saying chatgpt is bad or writes bad code always
That'd be very ungrateful and a lie

It helps me a lot to learn, debug and understand code base.

But sometimes it does f&ck up. FS.

[Shouvik Sarkar @Skar_200]

To master websockets and socket io.

I am building a basic simple @discord like application.

I am writing the BE and FE js logic my self

The only thing I asked chat got to do was write the html and css

Guess what that the only place where I got bugs. 😑 Took my 40 mins. 😑

Advice for people in tech.

> Keep an emergency fund of 9-12 months with you
> Avoid taking loans, unless necessary
> Upskill post job hours, in weekend, whenever you can
> Take the job that comes your way if pay is decent
> Be interview ready as much as possible
> Ask for work, if you feel you aren't contributing enuf

Consider yourself lucky if you a job, tough times for people who haven't upskilled much in last few years.

Two kids. One mom.

No load balancer.

3.5yo and 1yo both DDoS'd me for attention this Sunday, simultaneously, at max volume, zero backoff.

I'm not "mom of 2 boys." I'm the single point of failure in a system with no redundancy. 💀
