7/7
Want to know how to get ahead?
Start with something so small it feels stupid.
That's the shortcut to the fun part: actually making things.

What's the one piece of tech on your 'to-learn' list that's been intimidating you the most? No judgment, we've all been there.

[Smit Patel @imsmitpatel_dev]

I was re-reading "The First 20 Hours" by Josh Kaufman, and it nails the feeling every developer knows: long list of tech we want to learn (new frameworks, languages, cloud tech), but calendar with no free time.

It's the classic trap. But the real enemy isn't your calendar. 🧵

6/7
Trick your mind to break the barrier

Instead of "Learn React" your goal is "Render a single <p> tag from one component"
Instead of "Master Docker" it's "Write a Dockerfile for a basic 'Hello World' Node app"

See the difference? One is a mountain the other is a single step.

Every React app needs this CSS property 👀

Some DSA done despite of the Monday blues.

Swapped the usual workout for the Navratri ground! The best kind of cardio.

Happy Navratri! ✨ #Navratri #developer

Good communication can help you lead teams and build empires. I, on the other hand, just accidentally agreed to a complete project rewrite on a Friday evening because I couldn't say no.

afaik i'm the only one with an actually smart TV

here's a demo of full computer use with just a remote, sitting on a couch. i can even get work done while chasing a toddler lmao

reply below if you want to be a beta tester & i'll send you the download (mac only)

- everything runs locally, no cloud AI. uses 4gb of gpu memory
- mic is on the remote, so you can whisper into it, or use in crowded/loud environments
- transcribes text directly or runs keyboard shortcuts / applescript if it sounds like an action command "i.e. close this page"
- 600ms response time on my m3 max (transcription + LLM tool calls)
- continuous transcription previews available. can be auto-turned off on battery to conserve battery
- no apple tv remote required, you can also use your phone as the remote (screenshot below)

even for direct transcription, it's quite a different experience than regular transcription software because you don't need to be close to your computer mic or your keyboard. you can be pacing around, which i love doing when writing long prompts

also... the apple siri remote is a beautiful piece of hardware and has apple-quality trackpad. it's kind of a must for a good remote

@kaif9998 I have the same monitor. your setup looks very clean and minimalistic. I need that monitor arm now.

[Smit Patel @imsmitpatel_dev]

@somrajjj @mannupaaji @KartikeyStack @legionsdev @maybepratikk This looks cool.
