🔄 𝗨𝗻𝗲𝘅𝗽𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝗧𝘂𝗿𝗻𝘀 – 𝗟𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗼𝗻𝘀 𝗙𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝗮 𝗗𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗹𝗼𝗽𝗲𝗿'𝘀 𝗗𝗮𝘆 #Day008 Ever had one of those days where nothing goes as planned? 🗓️ Yesterday was mine. The agenda: add two features to a product 🧑💻 and advance two chapters in a technical book I'm authoring  📚. Only for my whole day to be spent battling with a mysterious bug I never planned for—completely unscripted. Here's the backstory: a few weeks ago, I introduced a feature that worked just fine ✅. Recently, I tweaked it, tested it, and all seemed well... until it didn't ❌. Cue the hours spent chasing a ghost in the machine, aiming to find and fix the bug, but I didn't see any feasible outcome. Then I tried testing the feature from scratch and then it once again started working. Turns out, the feature used a third-party API, and the entire mix-up was due to an authorization mismatch. All that time, the "bug" was just a case of crossed wires, not a code error. In essence I spent the whole day fixing an error that did not exist in the first place. What's the take-home message? 📝 Sometimes, the problem isn't the problem. Our understanding—or lack thereof—can lead us on a wild goose chase. Before diving into fixing mode, let's ensure we're solving the right issue. Remember, our route to achieving goals isn't a straight line; it's dotted with detours and learning opportunities 🔀. And setbacks? They're just pit stops🛑, not the end of the journey. Keep pushing, keep learning, and believe in the process, even when the unexpected happens. Because in the end, success is a mosaic of trials, errors, and triumphs 🏆. Stay the course! 💪 #20daylinkedinchallengewithhaoma #DevLife #ProblemSolving #FacingChallenges #CareerGrowth #SuccessIsAJourney

🌟 Life Updates, Bucket Lists & Extreme Accountability 🌟 📚 This academic year has been such a vibe—fun, challenging, and full of little wins that make me feel like I’m finally getting somewhere. And the cherry on top? Next semester, we are moving to a new campus! New space, fresh energy, and all the opportunities in the world for me to get lost. I couldn’t be more excited. ⚰ But let’s get real for a second. Recently, I came across this study that made me stop and rethink a lot about life. It looked at people on their deathbeds (stay with me here), and when asked about their regrets, the overwhelming majority didn’t lament the things they did—but the things they didn’t. That hit me hard. Like, what am I putting off? What risks am I too scared to take? What dreams am I sitting on, waiting for the “right time”? 😎 That’s when I decided: nothing’s going to keep me more accountable to achieving my goals than putting them out there for all of you to see. The internet is forever, and now you’re my extreme accountability partners (no pressure, though). 🥁 So, here are 2 big goals I’m ready to tackle in 2025: 1️⃣ Finish writing my book – It’s been sitting there, whispering, “Write me already!” so this year, it’s happening 2️⃣ Learn a new programming skill – I’m diving headfirst into the coding world. Whether it’s mastering Python or getting my hands dirty with JavaScript, it’s time to level up my skills and bring some of my dream projects closer to reality. Accountability, people—hold me to this! Now, here’s where you come in! Let’s make this a group effort. Drop one (or a few) things you’re dying to do in the comments—whether it’s learning something new, traveling, or finally using that gym membership. Bonus: sharing it here makes it harder to back out later. Let’s hype each other up and make 2024 the year we actually do the things we keep saying we’ll do. 🚀 Ready? Go!

𝙄 𝙁𝘼𝙄𝙇𝙀𝘿… Hey LinkedIn Fam! 👋 If you've been following me on this platform, you're probably familiar with the #30DaysOfDevDiscovery challenge I embarked on recently. It was an incredible journey of daily learning and sharing new insights with this amazing community. While some of my posts gained traction and went viral, the journey itself was invaluable. Throughout the challenge, I delved into various aspects of: 𝗖𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝗝𝗮𝘃𝗮: From exploring Java features like Records and Text Blocks to diving into the nuances of strings with StringBuffer, StringBuilder, and StringJoiner, the journey was filled with eye-opening discoveries. 𝗨𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗿𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗻𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗟𝗶𝗻𝗸𝗲𝗱𝗜𝗻 𝗔𝗹𝗴𝗼𝗿𝗶𝘁𝗵𝗺𝘀: I experimented extensively to understand what type of content resonates best with the LinkedIn algorithm.

"Omoo...does the process know that we are trusting it?" Learning new skills during the lockdown felt daunting and sometimes I felt like there should be a shortcut, I was feeling like if I had learnt those skills 2 years ago, by the lockdown, I would have been working in Google or something😁 Anyways, fast forward to today, it's remarkable how four years have flown by. Whether I chose to learn those new skills or not, time would have passed by anyway, so I've realized that it's not just about trusting the process—it's about truly enjoying it💯 If what you're doing aligns with your ability, you should enjoy the process, at least to an extent. Enjoying it, keeps you resilient enough to reach those big wins and you'll be patient enough to have an in-depth understanding of fundamentals, which is key in the mastery of anything at all. Remember it is quite important to set time-bound goals so as to avoid being complacent, and also because goals will help you track your progress. As we step into this new week, let's continue to push forward, trust in our journey, and most importantly, enjoy every step along the way. Happy new week, everyone! 🌟 #TrustTheProcess #EnjoyTheJourney #GrowthMindset #KeepPushing #HappyNewWeek #coding #zagadat #problemsolving #developer #tips #linkedin #connections
