Run races where Winning is upto you ✨
some things are upto us and some things are not upto us.
If you want to win, don’t compete in things where success depends on others

Have been noticing that folks are raising PRs written by claude even without doing a self review. Forget about the learning experience, they just want to close the issue 🤞
“If you use AI to skip learning, you're trading future relevance for a slightly easier Tuesday.”
if someone uses a word or idea u are not totally sure about, just ask what they mean.
or say "i am guessing it as X, is that the same?"
way easier than nodding along and realizing later u were having a different conversation than they were. 😅
went through this paper -
while structured outputs can be beneficial for downstream processing
but overly restrictive schemas may hinder LLM performance, particularly in reasoning-intensive
tasks
i vibe-coded and published a library - hglass ⏳
it's a simple pomodoro timer in the terminal that uses an hourglass animation.
Install -
pip install hglass
Use -
hglass 25 # 25-minute pomodoro
hglass 5 # 5-minute break
hglass 0.1 # 6-second test run
it makes me really happy to see the progress that i have made on my runs.
having a structured plan is helping & my job is to only focus on execution.
next race is TCS 10K📍
clocking miles week after week 🏃♂️
in this phase, i want to be fitter and faster in 2026. this is going to be the priority through out.
will have to carry this momentum in other aspects as well.
its going to be hard.
i believe in consistency.
its the only thing that always delivers results.
months of hard work and then one fine day, you get more than what you wished for.
its smooth.
life is good.
build ur momentum. show up.
