Ever tasted deer meat? Cuz I have, and it came with a full action movie package 😁 Almost a year ago, me and my gang (like 9 of us) went hiking way out of town. As it got dark, we saw this kid holding a deer, our big scary lead guy called him over and asked…
There’s this massive open field near my old hood, all green and flat like a natural football pitch. Back in the day, the government dug seven giant holes there to dump trash, but locals got pissed, clashed with the workers, and the project got canceled. Then rain filled those holes, and boom, we had our own lakes, fishing spots, swimming spots, a whole vibe.
We used to chill there all the time, sunset, football, swimming. Those who couldn’t swim had a “life jacket” made from two 2 liter bottles tied to each end of a rope. You’d lie on the rope, bottles floating on your left and right, just enough to keep you above water. Ghetto innovation at its finest 😂
One morning, I went there alone to work out. After running and sweating like crazy, I saw some of those bottle floaters lying around. Thought, “Why not take a swim?” The water looked calm, so I hopped in, laid across the rope, and started paddling slowly… until the knot came loose.
Both bottles drifted apart, and man, in that instant, I swear my brain showed me my whole life, my funeral, my family crying, everything. A billion thoughts in one breath. Then survival mode kicked in. I lunged for one bottle, grabbed it tight, and kicked like a maniac till I reached the shore.
I sat there silent for five minutes, heart racing. That’s when it hit me, I wasn’t scared of drowning anymore. The technique was already in me, I just needed to lose the fear. I tried again, one bottle, then no bottle, and boom, I was swimming.
Fast forward two weeks later, I was spending whole days in the water. People started calling me “Shark.” 😂.
Moral of the story: sometimes you don’t need someone to save you, just one moment that forces you to realize you already can.

Currently, the transcription feature isn’t working as expected due to a server-side MIME type validation issue on Hasab AI’s backend.
Here’s what’s happening:
Flutter apps record and upload audio correctly using libraries like flutter_sound. However, the server returns a 422 error saying:
“The audio field must be a file of type: mp3, wav, ogg, m4a.”
After investigating, I found the cause Laravel’s strict MIME validation is rejecting files even when the extensions are correct. It’s doing a magic byte check, and some audio formats generated by mobile recorders don’t match Laravel’s strict pattern.
I’ve already reached out to the Hasab AI team regarding this fix and will update once they patch it 🙌 (until tmorrow will be probably fixed)
