CS Undergrad | Learning Full Stack Web Dev (React + Next + Nest) + AI | Building "The Crucible" in public |

[Ritik Joshi @Dev_Ritikk]

College stress and imposter syndrome had me in silence for the last few weeks but the dust has settled and I'm back to building in public.

These weeks were not a complete waste I did make a lot of progress that I will share soon. Let's get back into the flow. 🧑‍💻

Day 1 of #100DaysOfCode begins!!

Got a new SaaS Idea. I'm thinking of working in vertical slices i.e. a full stack slice. Today comes the Auth slice DB setup is underway... Let's do this!! 🎐

#buildinpublic

[Ritik Joshi @Dev_Ritikk]

It's been a few weeks since I posted had moving into college that kept me busy and away from my work but now everything is set up I've moved into my hostel room and now I can start building again.

Gotta get my momentum back!!

Starting #100DaysOfCode today itself.

[Ritik Joshi @Dev_Ritikk]

So, "The Crucible" is my attempt to tackle this. The main problems I see:

💠Skill Atrophy: Our core problem-solving feels rusty.
💠Constant Distraction: Real, deep work is tough.
💠Working Alone: We miss the feedback that actually helps us grow.

This whole thing is personal for me. A while back, I got called out on Reddit for sounding like a bot because I used AI to polish my comments.

Honestly, it was embarrassing, but a total wake-up call. We're getting so focused on AI that we might be losing our own voice.

Wishing a great morning to the builders,

Backend REPO has been initialized envs have been set NEST JS dependencies have been installed. First up User Management.🧑‍💻

[Ritik Joshi @Dev_Ritikk]

A Tiring Wednesday Indeed,

Completed the Supabase DB blueprints and created tables for each. Tomorrow I get into creating these end points using Nest.

Good night builders, We keep learning and building!! 🩶

[Ritik Joshi @Dev_Ritikk]

Good morning builders, Hope you're having a great start to the day!!

I've got the backend boilerplate to create. I'm gonna be using Nest JS and Supabase.

Wish me luck!! 🐱

[Ritik Joshi @Dev_Ritikk]

Calling it a day early tonight — feeling a bit burned out. I thought about just pushing through, but then I remembered a quote I once heard:

"Sometimes the most productive thing you can do is rest."

So, good night builders.
Back tomorrow, learning and building! 🧑‍🏫

[Ritik Joshi @Dev_Ritikk]

Good morning builders!!

Got the complete UI system usage to get down today. Woke up a little late but back to work again.

How did your morning turn out to be?? 🍁

[Ritik Joshi @Dev_Ritikk]

That was great start to the week,

Got deep into component architectures.
RHF, Generics and more importantly I finally got hold of the SSR and CSR distinction in Next JS.

Tomorrow, component architectures conclude >> Backend.

Good night folks will be back tomorrow, Learning!!🌃

[Ritik Joshi @Dev_Ritikk]

It's a complete shift in thinking.

Generics aren't just a fancy feature. They are the tool that lets you design a bulletproof contract between your data and your components.

You're not just building a table; you're building a true system. 🧑‍💻

[Ritik Joshi @Dev_Ritikk]

Starting a new series: The Architect's Log. 📜

I'll be sharing daily, raw anecdotes from the wild as I go deeper into mastering component architecture.

A thread...🧵

[Ritik Joshi @Dev_Ritikk]

• Use <T> to make your component work with any data shape.
• Use keyof T to enforce that your configuration (like table columns) actually matches the data's keys.
• Trust the compiler: It infers <T> automatically, so you rarely have to write it.

[Ritik Joshi @Dev_Ritikk]

@PradeepTiwarii_ Good start keep going Next JS is pretty funn 👀

[Ritik Joshi @Dev_Ritikk]

Good morning fellow builders,

Starting off the week strong, First up:

1. Tackle the Terminal Table component, getting warmed up before tacking complex stuff-form validation.

2. The Terminal Input, getting into the react hook form.

What are your plans for the week?🧑‍💻

[Ritik Joshi @Dev_Ritikk]

What a weekend.
🚀 Kickstarted a 🔥 Reddit convo on devs + AI valuable insights!!
🛠️ Spent 10+ hrs in an Architect’s Study of my own UI library—blueprinted + rebuilt Modal & Toast systems from scratch.
Foundation’s solid. Backend next. #buildinpublic

[Ritik Joshi @Dev_Ritikk]

Spend the day, dissecting my own UI system.

Refactored:
• TerminalCard
• TerminalButton
• Full Modal system (Store + Hook + UI)

Feels good being the architect, not just the coder.

Show me your Sunday wins. 📸
