a simplified view of how the backend works.

@cneuralnetwork What about UPI Lite? It doesn't send an SMS for every transaction.

[Piyush @nameispiyushh]

an API allows two applications to communicate.
clients send requests to endpoints using HTTP methods like GET, POST, PUT, and DELETE to perform CRUD operations.
the backend processes the request and sends a response.

@Hiteshdotcom first time attending the Wednesday Webinar today and honestly, had a lot of fun! 😄 learned a lot and really enjoyed the session. looking forward to joining again! 🙌

[Piyush @nameispiyushh]

explored web development a bit more.

made a small to-do app and worked with localStorage, DOM, events, and a basic API using Node.js.

also got some hands-on experience with GET and POST requests.

@adilmania Idk why, but it also works for me

@VazeKshitij Clg ;)

@VazeKshitij damn, good bro

[Piyush @nameispiyushh]

building something taught me two things:

- .env stores API keys and passwords outside your code.
- .gitignore tells Git not to commit those files.

.env protects secrets. .gitignore helps keep them off GitHub.

@adxtyahq ai as a mentor? best thing ever.
ai doing the thinking for you? that's where the fun dies.

Built an HTTP server in C from scratch.
No frameworks. Just sockets, TCP, and pain.

Handles clients, parses HTTP, routes URLs and serves files.

Turns out every web framework is just this…

plus layers of abstraction and a lot of polish.

@karankendre Feels like they’re closing every door for junior devs.

My 💻 needs emotional support 🫠

@ramxcodes I'm in! 🚀

[Piyush @nameispiyushh]

I used to think some people are just naturally smart.
Now I realize they just kept learning consistently from wherever they could.

[Piyush @nameispiyushh]

@Amank1412 True. Systems knowledge compounds over time.
Any good roadmap suggestions for someone starting with C + networking?

[Piyush @nameispiyushh]

Now I’m in college, and I’ve realised one thing — programming is something we must learn on our own. We can’t just rely on college :)

[Piyush @nameispiyushh]

Hostel life is quite amazing! 😄

@adxtyahq That line really hit. I’m trying to get into more hackathons — any tips on where you usually find the good ones?
