This is our first time organizing an event like this as a community.
There is a deep sense of fulfillment that comes from sharing what we know and what we have with one another.
When we share our knowledge, experiences, or efforts, we create opportunities for growth beyond ourselves.

You never know which small contribution might make a meaningful difference in someone else’s life.

The Crab Mentality

One of the most destructive human behaviors.

[Have you ever heard of this one?]

» If you place a crab in a bucket, it'll claw its way up and escape.
» But if you place two crabs in a bucket, something strange happens.
» When one crab claws its way up, the other pulls it back down.
» It doesn't just happen once. It happens every time. Neither crab escapes. Both stay trapped forever.
» This isn't rally about crabs. It's about us.
» If I can't have it, neither should you.
» When someone grows, we feel threatened. Not out of hate, but out of fear.
» Fear of being left behind. Fear of facing our own limits. So we pull. We discourage. We doubt.
» But here's the tragic part: Pulling someone down doesn't lift you up. It just keeps both of you stuck in the same bucket.
» Two people could've climbed out together. Two people could've risen higher. But jealousy builds a ceiling that traps everyone.
» Real strength isn't dragging others down. Real strength is understanding: When you lift someone up, you rise too.
» Support creates momentum. Encouragement multiplies. Climbing together is easier than climbing alone.

Break the Crab Mentality. When you see someone growing, don't pull. Push, Cheer, Lift. Because their exit can become your exit too.

I think I am in a fomo because of what ppl are sharing abt their year.
2025 was never what I though it would be. Not even for a min.
way worse than I thought.

@codistiano

The most bittersweet year is just passing by.

Coded without AI until I couldn't handle the bugs anymore. Then I used AI.
Did I vibe code?

@codistiano

The tracker showed me this and I felt like the
1 min > 1 hr 😭

Have you ever heard about UglifyJS ?

Lots of drama on the internet today as TESLA announces the self-driving functionality will now require you paying a monthly subscription.

Tesla lovers are absolutely furious.

Tesla stock owners are dancing in the streets

May be not this time.

@codistiano

Guess who was advertising!

I used to hear people saying that API's for some social media's are expensive, but $42k a month for an API on Instagram or X is CRAZY!!

@codistiano

In days like this, just remember,

If you have money for food, WiFi, air conditioning, a laptop/phone, and a roof over your head,
You’re quite literally in the top .00001% of the world.

Be grateful.

@codistiano

At the point of literal exhaustion, I say to myself that I will rest after I complete a specific couple of tasks at least.

Does this affect the quality of the work?
How would you deal with this situations?

@codistiano

I bet doing the work is better
atleast u don't feel like a loser

@codistiano

Every question I ask about making it, I find one answer.

OBSESSION

@codistiano

First mobile app design
Pretty nice being it the first time

@codistiano

I just made a basic redesign for the YouTube UI and experimented a lot to get to this point.
I am loving this thing.

Checkout the prototype: https://www.figma.com/proto/USAXHhWS6HJprL4lKKl4Hb/Day-3-Challenge---YouTube-Redesign?node-id=32-141&p=f&t=Y91poetSUGjGUPIG-1&scaling=scale-down&content-scaling=fixed&page-id=0%3A1

One thing I’ve realized lately is this:
Feeling like you have big potential but doing nothing with it will actually make your life worse.

At least some people are comfortable in their own skin. They’ve accepted the life they want to live and act accordingly, whatever that action may be.
But if you believe you’re meant for big things and still act in the opposite way, that’s ego. And it slowly eats at you.

Because every day passes and you’re still in the same place not moving while others who started with you are at least trying. And whether they’re making progress or not, their effort alone will make you question yourself.

So in my opinion, the solution is simple:
Either start doing something about your “big goals” or be honest enough to admit you don’t actually want them.

You don’t have to agree BTW.
