the beginning of something new?

disappeared for a while

coming back to posting / logging my dev stuff from tmr :)

Past 3 months = 2 hackathons + 1 ideathon.
Sleepless nights, sleeper trains, Minecraft villagers trading wheat like Wall Street.

we take those Ws

we pitched an economic simulation. built using minecraft villagers.

that somehow ended up winning.

I failed the challenge, but I’m a better dev than I was 39 days ago.
That’s a W.
#100DaysOfCode might be over.
But the grind isn’t.

What’s next?
Still coding.
Still building.
Still figuring shit out.
No promises, no pressure—just vibes and work, whenever it happens.

If I had to give advice to future me (or you):

Still, I learned a lot.
Learned that discipline isn’t about never slipping—
It’s about returning.
Even when I didn’t post, or felt off—I knew I wanted to come back. That matters.

But yeah—burnout crept in.
The dev loop started to feel like a damn treadmill:
Build Django view → hook it up on frontend → repeat.
Monotonous as hell.

There were wins.
I won two hackathons.
Set up Arch on my machine.
Learned Django backend from scratch.
Even shipped parts of a fullstack project.
That ain’t nothing.

Some days, I was on fire.
Across the 39 days I did code, I joined hackathons, tackled tech events, and tried out a bunch of different domains.
It was fun as hell, and I learnt a lot along the way.

I joined ‘cause a friend was doing it.
And I was like, damn—I need a side quest right now.
Gotta do some shit, build some shit, stay busy.
So I dove in.

Started the challenge thinking I’d come out the other side a machine.
I didn’t.
I skipped days. Missed weeks.
But I still walked away with a shitload of learnings—some about code, some about myself.
This thread’s about that.

I failed #100DaysOfCode

Day 39 of #100DaysOfCode.

Late post, but yeah—coded in the library again. That shit’s actually fun. Realized I waste a ton of time between classes doing nothing, and just sitting with my laptop getting stuff done feels way more productive.

Day 38 of #100DaysOfCode.

Built another feature end-to-end—both backend and frontend. It's starting to feel a bit monotonous now. Make a Django view, hook it up in the frontend, repeat the damn cycle.

two hackathon dubs, a dozen events, some wins, some skill issues—been a wild two months.

Day 37 of #100DaysOfCode.

Built two React pages and a few components today. Faced some more backend connection bullshit, but wrestled through and got everything working.

Day 36 of #100DaysOfCode.

Coded at the college library for the first time today. Pretty wild experience—took me three damn hours just to get logout working.

looks super sick!

Day 35 of #100DaysOfCode.

Hooked up my Django backend with the Vite frontend. Ran into some fresh issues, but cracked through 'em. Honestly, fun as hell figuring it all out.

Day 34 of #100DaysOfCode.

Back on the anime site—started working on the frontend. Picked up some new Tailwind tricks along the way. Clean UI coming soon.

Day 33 of #100DaysOfCode.

Continued work on the anime site—auth was already done. Now user info and anime lists are stored and fetched from my own DB, so I don’t have to hit the API every time. Clean and efficient.

Day 32 of #100DaysOfCode.

Had the finals of the cryptography event today. Solved a pigpen + XOR cipher, cracked an RSA-encrypted message, reversed morse code audio, and used a Vigenère cipher with a key hidden in an image’s FFT. Couldn't solve the last one, but still—wild ride.
