Never ask:
1. Frontend Dev - “Can centre the div?”
2. Backend Dev - “It’s just a small API change, right?”
3. DevOps - “Why is production down? We didn’t change anything.”
4. Data Scientist - “Can you make the model 100% accurate?”
5. QA Engineer - “Did you even test this?”

Here is my 2025 Wrap:
- Earned ~$35k over the year.
- Built projects that showed me my true potential.
- Worked on so many different ecosystem including Sui, Solana, Polygon. Taught me how to visualize an architecture and its importance to the ecosystem.
- Won few hackathons and closed several freelance clients.
- Learned importance of planning before building.
- Understood why storytelling and GTM strategy are crucial for a successful startup.
- Took another international solo trip to Thailand. Had the chance to travel to Greece and South Korea but didn’t get the visa🥲. Couldn’t attend Token2049 Singapore due to university exams🥲.
- Traveled to and enjoyed a dozen cities: Ahmedabad, Vadodara, Surat, Mumbai, Delhi, Udaipur, Indore…
- Attended concerts for the first time, felt the vibes, and finally understood why people are so excited about concerts.
- Took part in my university’s annual fest and even attended other universities’ annual fests .
- Adopted a cat(Cotton), took him on a trip to ujjain.

- Lastly, developed healthy habits of being consistent and disciplined.
It was full of ups and downs, probably the most fun and fruitful year so far.
2025 taught me a lot. 2026 is for execution.
People seriously underestimate how much tech leans on Java:
- the whole Android world started with it
- massive data infra (the stuff crunching terabytes) still depends on it
- search engines, logging tools, monitoring stacks, Java everywhere
- most CI/CD pipelines touch Java at some point
- a bunch of dev tools we use daily are written in it
- and enterprise backends? Java is basically the default language there
When you zoom out, it’s wild how much of the industry sits on top of this one ecosystem.
So, what’s actually stopping you from learning Java?
