@aravindballa Great to see you make the most of it Aravind!🙂. forgot to tell you, but you’ve probably figured out by now, that we can overclock it to arm_freq=1200 safely without needing any heat sink or cooling! Viel Spaß!

Starting something new today that’s a little bit outside my comfort zone. Naturally stressed. Then I get a message from my brother @_rittik:
“remember to have fun!” Stress gone. Focus returns. I love what I do, so I’ll have fun doing it. Grateful to have a brother 🫂

Totally loved record an ep with @brittikbasu for @learningcurvpod at IKEA

This is the first time we recorded it at a public place, and the audio is not bad at all!

In a couple of years, buying a VR headset will make more sense than buying a monitor or TV.

@aravindballa apps that feel native, like google keep and apple notes is my go to for my phone and iPad. I use notion just for monitoring a db on mobile, but use it heavily for work on mac.

Learning a new programming language is much quicker and far less embarrassing than learning German.

life goal: start a Deutsch tech podcast im Jahre 2025 🇩🇪

[Brittik Basu @brittikbasu]

my side project is what I work on when I procrastinate on my main project. side projects for me are projects that have no consequences, no deadlines, and are just for fun and exploration.

[Brittik Basu @brittikbasu]

Thank you @pocketbase, @deno_land, @ubuntu & @Raspberry_Pi for the tech you’ve shared with the world!❤️

[Brittik Basu @brittikbasu]

In high stakes situations, i rehearse what I’m going to say. The way we deliver the truth matters a lot!

[Naval @naval]

If you always tell the truth, you won’t have to rehearse what you’re going to say.

[Brittik Basu @brittikbasu]

Someone liked a quora comment I had written 3y ago:

“programmers with an inclination towards business and concept development will be able to utilise all the amazing tech around them and make something of it without having to get into the depth of things.”

More true than ever!
