You've achieved quite a lot during 2019. Sounds like you've found what makes you happy. May 2020 be even better for you!

I've also been thinking about the fact that we're more than just developers. Wrote a post about it a few months ago. :)

Work life balance is so important. If you are miserable then coding and tech work can be life draining. Finding a balance is essential. I hope you find a way to do the things you want and also feel successful at your chosen career.

Thank you sir.

I'm a very non-creative junior developer at a YC company (BuyMeACoffee.com)

Well, here's a funny thing.

Got interviewed for Facebook Solutions Engineer role in which the recruiter never replied after first round ๐Ÿ˜…

He might've read this post in between the phone screening and second round ๐Ÿคฃ

Actually, the feed works in a way that your post will be prioritized in their feeds. So, it gives an equal chance to beginners and people who have lots of followers.

Nothing to flex, just pointing out that it's normal.

Keep up the good work!

Wow, what an amazing journey that will inspire thousands.
By the way, I didn't know about the Made in India collection ๐Ÿ˜…

I've heard somewhere:

1 hour of writing.
1 hour of building.
1 hour of learning.
1 hour of networking.

Do this every day for 2 years, and you will have a brand, business, and career that grants you the possibility to never work a job another day in your life.

I find using Facebook very time consuming.

imo, everyone should try disabling social sites for at least one month and see how beneficial it is.
