I don’t think your life has to have a purpose, or a grand ambition; I think it’s okay to just wander through life finding interesting things until you die

I was doing some experiments with Node.js

even though we say Node.js is single threaded because the event loop itself runs on a single thread, some parts of the code actually run concurrently.

By default, Node.js has a thread pool with 4 threads. That is why when you run this code, the first 1 to 4 tasks run at almost the same time.

The 5th task has to wait until one of those 4 threads finishes.

run the code and see it yourself

const crypto = require('crypto');

const start = Date.now();

crypto.pbkdf2('a', 'b', 100000, 512, 'sha512', () => {
  console.log('1:', Date.now() - start);
});

crypto.pbkdf2('a', 'b', 100000, 512, 'sha512', () => {
  console.log('2:', Date.now() - start);
});

crypto.pbkdf2('a', 'b', 100000, 512, 'sha512', () => {
  console.log('3:', Date.now() - start);
});

crypto.pbkdf2('a', 'b', 100000, 512, 'sha512', () => {
  console.log('4:', Date.now() - start);
});

crypto.pbkdf2('a', 'b', 100000, 512, 'sha512', () => {
    console.log('5:', Date.now() - start);
  });

and u can also adjust the thread pool size using process.env.UV_THREADPOOL_SIZE
so by default it 4

i think most of u guys may have heard about ci/cd but never tried it or used it. actually it’s super simple. github actions gives u free ci/cd for public repos and some limited minutes for private ones. or u can just host jenkins on ur server and create ur ci/cd easily.

so if ur repo is public, u can build and test ur app for free on github every time u push code. u can also run linters, tests, and even deploy it to a server or cloud.

jenkins is a bit more work since u need a server, but it’s very powerful. u can automate anything from build → test → deploy, and even handle complex pipelines.

learning ci/cd makes u better dev: u automate boring stuff, test ur code properly, and deploy confidently

just pick a project, try github actions or jenkins, and watch ur workflow run automatically it’s very simple

Do u know about Buridan’s donkey?

It is a famous philosophical thought experiment.

The problem goes like this

A donkey is placed exactly halfway between two piles of grass.

The two piles are equal in every way same distance, same size, same smell, same appeal.
The donkey is perfectly rational and always chooses the option with a clear reason.

Because both piles are equally good, the donkey has no reason to choose one over the other.
So it keeps hesitating, unable to decide.

While it keeps thinking, time passes.
Eventually, the donkey starves to death.

The idea is  If a being can only act when there is a clear logical preference, it may become stuck forever

Real decision making needs randomness, intuition, or emotion to break ties

so waiting for a perfect reason can be worse than choosing imperfectly.
Sometimes acting is better than overthinking.
