More React practice this week, and a few ideas are starting to click. I’m learning to build reusable UI and keep content flexible as the layout changes. Small steps, but each exercise is making the way React fits together clearer.

@puulkit Criticize the work, not the person. Racism, threats, and dragging someone's employer into a personal project are never justified.

I hate react 🥀

I had never participated in many events before, but today I decided that this is it; I must do it. So I recently attended an event where I gained beneficial knowledge, learned many new things, and ended up receiving an internship offer.

@edugiansante That’s a helpful way to frame it. I’m just starting React and still catch myself thinking in steps. What small example helped you make the shift to thinking in state?

[Taaran @Taaran0]

Busy week: joined a hackathon, attended a few tech events, and met some really cool people in tech. I also started learning React—it feels trickier than the backend so far, but I’m enjoying learning by building.

16 commits across 5 repositories lately. I’m getting more comfortable moving between different codebases, understanding how each is organized, and making focused changes. Still learning as I go, but it’s nice to see the progress adding up.

Been stuck on a bug for nearly a day and finally asked AI. The fix was simple, but the lesson stuck: debugging is part of learning. I also worked on admin routes. Learning by building.

Today’s learning: I connected the signup and login flow—validating input, hashing passwords with bcrypt, and issuing JWTs for user and admin accounts. Building it step by step is helping me understand how the pieces of authentication fit together.

@Df3lt_ What’s the point of a UPI detector if there’s no money in the account 🥀
