Over the past decade, I’ve seen many people jumping from mechanical engineering roles to the software field. The reason is quite obvious. I don’t want to tell you that the software industry now provides more employment — that’s already known. It’s really good if you enjoy it. But what if you’re not interested and still working on it? I don’t know how that feels, considering money comes as a reward on top of it. ...
Welcome back to yet another amazing article. By the way, have you seen the new video uploaded at YT? This article is about the same. Now, If you think about why do I write this blog after creating a video - well, a video is mostly a quick take (for me). We miss many things. Writing a blog mostly explains everything. Yes, now you have an idea about what I’m talking about. It’s about Termux-API and how we can make use of them in real life applications. ...
Hey all! Welcome back to another article. I hope your week is going well. About me, I’ve had a few wonderful stories to share with you — about a job interview that I had applied for. In the final round (HR) the story went twisty in many ways. I’ll share it another day. I’ve been so concerned about editing my resume. Up until last week, I was using Canva to make my resume. When I think about it now, feels like an extreme normie. ...
Maybe I’m too distracted. But, screw any movies, series, or any such content showing smoking and shamelessly claiming it causes lung cancer as if that makes it okay. I’m not one of those “social activists” or people who raise arguments about everything others do. I don’t involve myself in anyone’s privacy because I’d like to give them their own space. But addiction is something someone doesn’t choose — they end up doing it mindlessly. ...
The school 🎒 Back in 2015-18, writing blogposts was all about curiosity. I still don’t know how I was so boosted at that time. I was at 10th standard. Didn’t own a computer at that point. Parents didn’t like me doing something on computers. And had a valid reason to block me from using it. See me.. I was very good at studies from 3rd grade to 7th grade. After that, I turned out to be an average. It wasn’t intentional at all. All happened unknowingly and I became more aware of it after each test papers. Fast-forward! what would you expect me at 10th grade? I was even slipping down from the average position. ...
As you already know about XREP, while some others have used it as testers. I was expecting the release of XREP by the end of this month. But It’s not going to be the case. As of now, I’m in the middle of many things and can’t give proper focus to it. The last commit was on 5th of May. There are not many things left. Infact the Python-re version is making some headache to me. ...
This is intentional. If you know me from when I had “techcraft.tk” (my old tech blog), it was roughly around 2016-2018, but later I decided to change the domain. The point is, for each post, I saw many spam and irrelevant comments, which made me realise some people are so dumb. They’d be dropping comments about “crypto” or “pay me I’ll hack social accounts…so on..” I used to think that it’s too normal in a public comment box. People are not taking accounts on any platform using their own ID, it’s random and hence there is no form of validation to determine anyone. Some others may be spreading toxic comments too. ...
It has been more than 6 years since I started my Blogger journey. Blogspot indeed was/is a good way to start any static website from scratch and get it done in minutes. It felt very convenient for me over the years and also the settings and configs are also very intuitive. Not so long ago, I saw a cookie pop-up on my blogger which I didn’t notice until someone told me. I was sure I hadn’t done anything to show a cookie banner. Idk why but, it kind of made me think “this is not my stuff and I do not fully own it”. And it was one of the many reasons I wanted to switch. I had some political opinions which I wanted to share but afraid about Google policies applied to Blogspot. Over the time, it really shook me and made me think “why do I use Linux, FOSS, etc..?” That’s when I really took the time to switch. I backed up all my posts from Blogger since 2016 and converted it to Markdown and made a video on YouTube about the process just in-case if someone wants to switch immediately without much research. ...
The title is obvious. Everyone loves Flask as a small web framework. As of now, all my projects are built with Flask. Including b3nsh4.tk A few people have asked what I used for XREP. Yes, it’s Flask again. I don’t know why it’s so easy to get started — it really can’t get much easier. For me, Django is a framework that works out of the box and has many more features. But if your application is complex at the backend with a simpler frontend and no database or login system, Flask is the option. ...
