Work Hard, Party Harder – A Developer’s Life!

Hello, everyone!

It’s time for another update, and this time, I want to talk about my current work life. I recently joined a project where I’m developing something that will soon be used by the public. No pressure, right? My job involves coding, thinking logically, understanding the product’s functionality, and basically pretending to know everything while secretly Googling half of it (just kidding… or am I?).

But the best part of this job? The people!

The Dream Team

I work with an amazing bunch — my lead and fellow developers are just like me: knowledge-hungry, hardworking, and constantly striving to make things better and learn something new. It’s refreshing to be surrounded by people who share the same mindset.

I belong to Squad 1 (yes, we sound like an elite special forces team, and we like to believe we are). My squad lead is basically me — but with a lead title and an added mission: to make our squad the best-performing one. No pressure, boss, we got this!

Then there’s my manager, who is also my Scrum Master. What I appreciate about him is that he knows every resource and their capabilities. The best part? He assigns me a task and doesn’t micromanage. No constant pings, no unnecessary follow-ups — he trusts me to get the job done. And if there’s a delay, he respects the reason behind it. That’s rare, and I truly appreciate it.

Mentoring the Juniors

I also have a couple of junior developers I help out from time to time. Teaching them is fun because, let’s be honest, explaining something makes you realize how much (or how little) you actually know! What’s even better? They’ve told me that watching me work inspires them, and they want to think and solve problems like I do. That’s a huge compliment, and honestly, it keeps me motivated.

Work Hard, Party Harder

Of course, work isn’t just about coding and deadlines. I have teammates who make sure we unwind after all the hard work. Whether it’s grabbing drinks, partying, or just chilling, we know how to balance work and fun. That’s what makes this project even more enjoyable!

The Architect – The Ultimate Role Model

Now, let’s talk about the main person in this project — our Architect. If I had to describe him in one phrase, it would be “Knowledge is power.” He is hands down the most knowledgeable person I’ve ever met. Everyone respects him, and honestly, if someone asks me where I see myself in 5 or 10 years, my answer would be: “I want to have the knowledge of my Architect.” The way he understands and designs systems is just incredible. I hope to reach that level someday.

Final Thoughts

This project is shaping up to be an amazing journey, not just because of the work but because of the people I work with. When you’re surrounded by like-minded individuals, work doesn’t feel like a burden—it becomes a challenge you actually enjoy.

So, here’s to learning, growing, working hard, and, of course, partying harder!

Airplane Mode: The Button That Saves Lives (or Just Saves Battery?)

  Hello there, Let’s talk about something we’ve all seen and used — Airplane Mode . That one setting on your phone that turns into a hero the moment you hear, “Please switch your mobile phones to airplane mode.” But have you ever paused and wondered… “Wait. What does this thing even do? Can my phone really mess up a giant flying metal bird?” Let’s break it down. In the most non-boring way possible.     🚨 What is Airplane Mode? When you turn on Airplane Mode , your phone basically goes into “silent monk” mode: • 📶 No cellular network • 📡 No mobile data • 📳 No Bluetooth (unless you turn it back on) • 📶 No WiFi (again, unless you manually turn it on) • 🔕 No notifications (bliss!) It’s like your phone puts on noise-canceling headphones.   🛫 Why Airlines Care So Much The official reason is: 📡 Cellular signals can interfere with the plane’s communication systems. Now, will your single phon...

The Internet – A Giant Web of Wires, Numbers, and Magic!

Hello, fellow curious minds! Ever wondered how the internet actually works? I mean, you type something in Google, hit Enter, and boom — the answer appears faster than your mom asking, “Who ate the last cookie?” But what happens behind the scenes? Is it magic? A group of highly trained pigeons delivering your data? Nope. Let’s break it down in a way that even your WiFi-hating grandma would understand. 1. The Internet: A Giant Web of Wires (Yes, Literally!) Most people think the internet is somewhere in the air . Nope. It’s actually a giant mess of wires running across the world. 🧐 So how does your Instagram meme reach you? • Your phone or computer sends a request through your WiFi. • That request travels through underground fiber optic cables (or WiFi towers). • If it’s going far, the request jumps across the ocean via undersea cables — yep, the internet swims to you! • Finally, it reaches a big computer (server) somewhere in the world, wh...

Behind the Screens: The Hidden World of Computer Memory

Memories in Computers: How Your Machine Actually “Remembers” Things As someone who spends a lot of time using computers, I’ve always been fascinated by one simple question: How does a computer actually remember stuff?  I mean, our laptops seem to remember everything — from half-written Word documents to those photos we swore we deleted ages ago. But what’s really happening behind the scenes when we save, open, or delete something? Let’s dig into this mysterious world of computer memory. (without getting too technical) 1. The Grand Storage Mystery Let’s start with what we all know. When we save something, we usually say things like: “I saved it in my C drive.” “My D drive is full of movies.” That sounds simple enough — but what’s really going on underneath? Inside your computer, you have storage devices that hold all your data. These are usually either Hard Disk Drives (HDDs) or Solid State Drives (SSDs). Hard Disk Drives (HDDs) These are the older type of storage de...
