My favorite @elonmusk quote that I often send friends:
Do not fear losing. “You will lose,” Musk says. “It will hurt the first fifty times. When you get used to losing, you will play each game with less emotion.” You will be more fearless, take more risks.
@holasaranyahere everything gets better after 26 trust me. 26 and 27 are transformative years and unfortunately a rite of passage.
people around you are moving countries/cities, switching jobs, getting married. lots of transitions.
embrace these years and you’ll come out stronger and happier.
IT’S NEVER TOO LATE
Depressed. Miserable. Yet still hopeful. Feeling like everything is against you. Nobody is on your side. FOMO. Feeling anxious. Believing that your time will come. Start today. Now. Your journey is unique. Comparison is the thief of joy. Life can change drastically. One year can be a game changer. Never lose faith. Embrace your authentic story.
Age doesn’t matter.
You’re in the right place at the right time.
Stop panicking. Align with your purpose.
Yesterday, I published my 250th video on YouTube 🥳 I have kept things no-fluff from day one and covered topics like BitTorrent Internals, Engg Blog Dissections, Research Paper Dissections, Database Internals, System Design, Microservices Design, and so much more.
5 years, 250 videos, so roughly 1 video every week for 5 years. whoaa!
The focus has always been on practical engineering and talking about how things actually work in production. No boxes-and-arrows for the sake of it. No fluff. Real systems, real trade-offs, and real-world implementation details.
I will continue to break down systems, put out a lot of good stuff in the coming years, and keep sparking engineering curiosity. Looking forward to the next 250 (seems a little too much, but why not).
Thank you all for the love and support. It means a ton :)
ape teach. ape spark curiosity.
