hello twitter ,Right now I am trying to build following side projects to learn about native development through react native and expo.
1. Route planner app for B2B distributers
tech stack : @expo (UI) @supabase (BaaS) @powersync_ (Local First Sync Engine)
1/n
If you’re making a side project, however tiny, use my account as a booster.
Post a snapshot of your project, heck, it could be a screen-grab of your code editor.
Sample tweet you can post:
———————————
I am working on a project that will enable Metro users in major cities to congregate and have a peer network to learn during those usually boring commutes.
<attach a screenshot of anything relevant, tag @sunnykgupta and @teamshiksha>
I’m looking for a frontend/backend/db/generic buddy to code this alongside with.

@sunnykgupta That's really me... I feel like I am progressing and building... But 6 months later.. I have another idea.. have no idea what happened to what I was building...

Trying to learn everything at once usually slows learning down.
There are always:
· New frameworks
· New cloud services
· New AI tools
· New architectures
It is impossible to master everything immediately.
Going deeper into fewer topics often creates stronger long-term understanding than constantly jumping between subjects.
Depth creates confidence.
Constant switching creates confusion
Hiring platforms became really good at keeping people engaged.
Not very good at helping people hire.
That’s the problem.
We’re working something on this.

Started using LinkedIn for hiring,
Ended up seeing birthday wishes
profile views
premium upsells.
Somewhere in all of this
you’re supposed to find the right hire.
Feels a bit off
Feels like the real problem is still unsolved.

The Dunning-Kruger effect is in full force... mediocre engineers (or devs who peaked early) assume they're elite, resist any vision beyond their own "works on my machine" bubble, and treat real leadership as interference.
The actually skilled ones know how much they still don't know. 😉
Quick breakdown of the Dunning-Kruger effect in tech
It's a classic cognitive bias: people with low-to-moderate ability in a domain massively overestimate their competence, while true experts tend to underestimate theirs. In software engineering, this shows up constantly.
The curve (attached img) is famous for a reason... that initial "Peak of Mount Stupid" is where a lot of junior-to-mid-level devs live for a while. They hack something together that "works," ship it fast, and think they're gods. Then reality (scalability issues, production fires, senior code reviews) hits, and they drop into the "Valley of Despair" before climbing the long slope of actual competence and humility.
Real-world tech examples:
- A dev with 1–2 years experience dismissing design patterns, modularity, or abstractions as "over-engineering" because their quick-and-dirty script "just works."
- The classic stat: In studies of high-tech firms, 32–42% of software engineers rated their skills in the top 5% of their companies.
- Interview war stories: Candidates self-rating 9/10 in a language they've barely used, or seniors who’ve only maintained legacy code for a decade thinking they’re ready to architect distributed systems.
It’s why strong leadership and clear vision are so critical... they cut through the overconfidence noise and force growth.
