"It’s funny how in tech we love titles.
You learn HTML for one week and boom “I’m a frontend engineer.” 😂

While looking for a Fullstack developer to hop on a project, I met someone on X who said he’s a full-stack developer.
I asked him how long he has been in tech… he said 2 months.
Just started learning CSS .

But honestly, here’s the advice:

Don’t rush the titles.
Focus on learning.
Your skills will introduce you better than any label."

Devtopia is back with another interview. This one is with kinfish (@kinfishfarms). It ended up being our longest episode to date.

We talked about a lot of cool stuff, hope you enjoy the episode, also thank you kinfish for being on the episode.

Here comes another side project heading straight to the abandoned folder… huh.

This one was meant for a Hackathon, but I’m unsure if I’ll participate because of my schedule and other plans. Anyways, I had great hope for it.

#lesson_of_the_day

When you set a task with a specific amount of work, honor that limit. Do exactly what you planned, nothing extra.

Even when you feel super motivated, resist the urge to go beyond the plan. That rush won’t last, but the habit will.

Doing more today often leads to doing less tomorrow. You burn through excitement, lose momentum, and end up restarting the same cycle over and over. New plan, new hype, same disappointment.

So keep it simple:

⚡️Define your goals

⚡️Create a realistic routine

⚡️Stick to it consistently

For example: reading just 2 pages every day for a year gives you 730 pages finished and a reading habit that builds naturally.
But planning 10 pages a day, jumping to 15 or 20 when you're inspired, then dropping to 5 or none when motivation fades… usually ends with quitting before the month is even over.

Choose consistency, not intensity.

Has AI stolen the satisfaction from programming?

lately it’s been weird man.
you write some code, build somethin and it works, but it doesn’t really feel like it’s fully yours anymore. there’s always some AI in the mix now, somewhere in the process.

and when you try doing things the old way, slower, more deliberate… it suddenly feels like everyone else is 10x faster.

idk. it’s a strange time to be building stuff. you wanna own what you make, but the world's different now.

how do you guys deal with that?

A day in the life of a tech student:

Me: wants to code instead of going to lecture soooo bad

Also me: hears that the teacher said "there may be a quiz"

Me: begrudgingly goes to class

Me: returns to dorm frustrated because THERE WAS NO QUIZ

Uhhhhhh.
