POV

Let me start with a simple quote: “The only way to do great work is to love what you do.” — Steve Jobs The best way to learn deeply is to do what you genuinely enjoy. Whether it’s software dev, farming, carpentry, or any other task — if you like it, you’ll enjoy doing it and you’ll learn from experience. Our minds naturally grasp the things we care about. Put in more effort where your interest lies, and you’ll get better. I say this up front because it’s something I’ve always told myself. ...

Are you a wagie? Most probably you are unless you have some passive/active income from your product. Over the past decade, I’ve seen many people jumping from a mechanical engineer role to a software field. Reason is quite obvious. I don’t want to tell you that software industry now provides more employment. It’s really good if you enjoy it. What if you are not interested in but still working on it.? I don’t know how it feels like considering money comes on top of it as a reward. ...

May be I’m too distracted. But, Fu*k any movies, series or any such crap showing smoking and shamelessly says that it causes lung cancer. I’m not those “Social activists” or any such people who would raise arguments on any things others do. I don’t involve in anyone’s privacy. Because I’d like to give them their own space. But things like addiction is something someone don’t want instead mindlessly doing it. ...

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 have 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. ...

This is intentional. If you guys know me from the start of the time when I had “techcraft.tk” (my old tech blog), it was roughly around 2016-2018, but later on, i had decided to change the domain. The point is, for each post, i saw many spam or rather irrelevant comments which makes me few people are so dump. They might be putting comments on “crypto” or “pay me I’ll hack social accounts…so on..” ...

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 did notice when someone told me. I was sure that I did nothing 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 Few have asked what did i use for XREP. Yes, it is flask again. Idk why it’s so easier to get started with something and can’t be more easier. For me Django is framework which works out of the box and has many more features. But if the idea of our application is complex at the backend and less fancy frontend with no db, login.. flask is the option. ...

Yes, after an year, I finally decided to take Discrete mathematics again as a part of my university. Tbh, I didn’t really enjoy it when I came across it a year back. But, now I feel like it’s somehow helping me to think in a logical way. And, I also found a good playlist for learning it. If you ever want to jump in to this business, this will help . That’s the playlist. I thanked him via twitter for this. If you are bored, I think this will fill / blow your mind. Hmm.. if free take a look. Btw, I’ve few things to say about YouTube and why I might leave it soon…

When I started blogging, I was changing my domain frequently. I wasn’t satisfied with any. Finally, I fixed to go with techcraft.tk domain. And, I used it for very long time. Made few pages to promote that blog. I was passionate about blogging at that time more than now. For some reason, I couldn’t continue doing blogging. So, after very long time, here I’m am. Changed domain again to bensh4. I really liked this username and I sorta wanted to make this everywhere. That’s why I again changed to bensh4. I was worried about AdSense because of this continuous changing. Because I stopped blogging then, I didn’t bother about that much. My advice for a new blogger(or any starter) would be like; You have to be really sure about what you’re doing and will do. Choose something (username for eg:) and don’t tend to change it. ...

It is now that I’m realising that there’s so much noise in Twitter. Still I’m staying in Twitter for some reason that I cannot explain. I can post my thoughts via this blog even if I leave that platform. But, I’m only thinking. But, I’ll leave one day for sure. Because, think for a while, “why do we need that platform?”. For sharing our thoughts and ideas? That’s why we can have our own blog. That’s how I’m believe. Back in the days, it was awesome to see many blogs like people writing their daily diary . Now everybody is via twitter and others. Well.. there are many things to say. May be my first Episode of podcast will be subjecting this. ...
