Somewhere between a
git commitand agit push, a first-year CS student in India decided he didn't just want to use software — he wanted to build it.
It started the usual way: a broken "Hello World," a semicolon hunted down for forty-five minutes, and the strange addictive feeling of watching code finally run. Since then it's turned into late nights with DSA problems, a growing obsession with React and Node.js, and an itch to build things in 3D on the web with Three.js — because flat websites stopped being interesting a while ago.
Right now, the mission is simple: get good at the fundamentals, ship real projects, break things and fix them in public, and slowly turn "CS student" into "Software Engineer" — the kind companies are glad they hired.
