the update.

The reason to start this writing is quite fascinating.

I need to publish something. It has been a long time.

Every time – every single time – after a single post I “disappear” for months and sometimes years. The longest break between two of my posts is 13 months.

The first part I wrote couple of days ago, but then, I am still struggling getting that momentum of writing. Feeling lost in life is probably one of the most challenging phases, which you will need to overcome alone – solo mode.

There are a few thought on how to keep the format of my page and posts, but every time I come to a conclusion in my mind that being natural and expressing everything as is – is the most underrated styles.

Yesterday, I have published an NPM package for fun. Total vibe coded. Not a single line of code is by me.

I asked my ~~slaves~~ agents to build a small tool with a single method that evaluates maths expressions using AI models. For now, only OpenAI’s gpt4.1-mini is available, however in future any new other models can be added easily. The package is called califi and you can see the source code here. Well, I have also developed a demo site where you can test the tool in action.

The tool can be useful in various application where you need maths compute in the code. However, this project – both the package and the user interactive website for evaluating maths expressions with the tool – are for fun only and not ready for any production projects. It was the first npm package I have ever developed, and I just enjoyed the fun of the 40 minute process of “crafting” the thing (or telling my ~~slaves~~ agent workers to do the job).

Anyway, it was a very ADHD-type of writing this time as I was building my RSS feed fetching workflow at the same time as I wrote this post. Basically, I want the first client – Telegram – to be able to fetch my latest blog post and post it in my channel there. That’s the first step though. I’ll add more channels later on.

STICKING TO THE BASICS

2025-06-09T23:00:00.000Z

For quite a while now already, I haven’t published a single article off by heart. I am changing the game today and this time I’ve decided the best to express a thought of mine on my way back home on the tube.

Exploring, discovering and always willing to learn — the disciplines I always used to embrace since my youngest years. Never thought that the world would open up in a such most thought-provoking and challenging way. A fact I have learned for life goes by “Life’s like a bicycle— you have to pedal in order to keep the balance and keep moving — otherwise you will fall”. It might sound like just a fancy sentence to represent life (and very vague), however it accurately describes my contemporary views of the world. Life through the pain. Pain embraces work. Work to balance. Balance to live. Live to keep alive.

When I found out about recursion in programming, my brain has clicked off for a while to undermine the deep meaning of why and how it works. Another great question that comes to mind is whoever came up with the concept — what did you have in mind at the time, dude? The key as to which, we all strive to reach, lies in the systematic approach and behavior of the matter around us. For example, anything (literally any state) can be broken down into a hierarchical tree structure, with the root (the beginning) of the tree being the matter in subject and the last leaves consisting of atomic structures that make up that specific matter in reality.

Unlike artistic approach, my mind has always kept prioritizing systematic approach and design of problems of any kind that occur in day-to-day life. Whatever I have written in this chunk of paragraph might be gibberish, but to me, it’s legacy.

I’m trying to. Not perfect. Purely thoughts.

To finalize my statement of the title of the given text, obsession to unnecessary details and implementation with tons of garbage creates an opportunity for a “garbage collector” to exist. Basic human needs and basic human biology is perfect. It’s thought after to details. If you don’t see it, look closer. If still nothing — even closer. Sometimes the beauty will be hidden underneath. Think recursively. In the right direction. Basics.

Style of the text used — basic.

Your, ADHD friend

You're Exactly Where You Need to Be: Trust Your Timing

2025-04-10T23:00:00.000Z

I found this quote and it just made everything make sense:

Someone graduated at 22 but waited 5 years before securing a good job.

Someone became a CEO at 25 and died at 50. While another became a CEO at 50 and lived to be 90.

Obama retired at 45,

Trump started at 70.

Everyone in this world actually works based on their own time zone.

People around you might seem ahead of you, and some might seem to be behind you.

But everyone is running their own race in their own time.

You're not late. You're not early.

You are very much ON TIME.

To be or not to be – non-technical way of life

2024-12-08T00:00:00.000Z

Bill Gates once said, he would postpone most of his school tasks to the late date as he found them very easy to accomplish. He later grew older and realized that his procrastination habit is still surviving in this world with him leaving hard moments behind and serving as an obstacle to his decisions in business. In other words, young Gates thought he is smart and would leave his assignments/exams till last minute and prove everyone that it takes pretty short time – a day or two – to complete everything, whereas most of the other students would spend at least a number of count of time in months.

Adulthood life is like an ocean, where you swim with sharks. The majority would not leave the shore; however, the riskiest ones find the joy in the middle of the endlessness enjoying God’s art to its fullest.

When you’re training in the swimming pool, your trainer won’t teach you how to sail a boat (run a business in a harsh way of meaning it) nor play hard, rather you’re taught how not to drown and keep yourself safe and minimize all the risks.

Going back to Gates, he admitted, that his procrastination habit has been a burden in his early career life. I just felt almost the same right now, – writing the post and reflecting back on my life for the last three years I spent. Am I on the right track or is too early/late for me? Psychologists say, I am on my own path. Okay, what’s the factual answer though?

The answer is – you never know. Keep going, at least that might give you hope that you are striving and eventually reach where you need to be.

You will WIN with 99.2% chance

2024-12-03T00:00:00.000Z

That’s correct. If you toss a coin, there’s a 50% chance you win by getting either heads or tails.

🎲 Numbers game

However, let’s say, you want to win with a higher chances and you’re desperate. Toss the coin 7 times and you’ll get your pick at least once with ~99.2% probability!

Yes, that might not map exactly as we wish to the real world scenarios, but think to yourself, when you’re about to do something, you try hard and your odds of winning that championship or say getting that contract or maybe landing a new job offer from top company is around 50/50. That’s when you remind yourself of number game.

🪨 Try your best

Try hard, even harder than before. On your third try you have 87.5% winning odds!!!

You should never give up!

🏎️ Formula

Here’s formula if you’re interested:

Where:

n=7 (number of tosses),

k (number of heads),

p=0.5 (probability of heads).

10X boost with Cursor – moreover, you learn

2024-11-26T00:00:00.000Z

I have never done something like this before. Couple of weeks ago, I came across a term ‘Cursor’ and decided to dig deeper what this new tech is all about.

A few days later, here I am, using it to its maximum potential.

I have developed a minimal (but functional) landing webpage with NextJS, TailwindCSS and Shadcn components – all using Cursor’s AI capabilities.

It took me under 2 hours in pure development time to construct this production ready site with minimal input from me.

When I say minimal, I mean, I have interacted with every single line of code and proof-read what the Cursor is giving out as a solution to a particular problem, because it’s not always the case that it comes up with a great example.

However, it has easily done the following:

Generated Hero, About Us, Contact Us, Tours, Header and Footer sections

Implemented i18n under my commands

Developed form submission

Added animations

Automatically setup image carousel for hero section

Smoothly integrated form data submission to Google Sheets via API

The reason why the last box is not checked is because of GCP’s interesting method of iam.disableServiceAccountKeyCreation , which basically does not allow you to create keys for your Service Account you might have just created. If you’re newbie, you’ll at least spend an hour understanding the structure of GCP and eventually learning the whole infrastructure just to obtain a Private Key for your project.

As per this guy, the docs really did not tell enough of where about to navigate – it’s been a while since I haven’t visited my GCP dashboard, so forgot most of the stuff there!

Thanks to this StackOverflow thread, I was able to add a role for the user and eventually alter the disable enforcement to ‘off’.

This, in turn, has triggered all my AI written, detail configured, productive code to work with the Google Sheets API finally, and submit user form data to the sheets.

Caveat – you’ll need to add Google Service Email as Editor from the Google Sheets page for the app to be able to access and edit rows in your sheets, otherwise API is gonna throw an error of kinda ‘Not enough permissions’.

There are 200 confetti’s fired on the screen. You don’t have to code CSS for that nowadays.

Takeaway:

I come from a more in-depth technical background and in the past I have mostly developed algorithmic systems instead of creating animated UIs. All I wanna say, you don’t have to know the template technology that’s been advertised out there online – the chances of that same tech being either replaced by more sophisticated superior technology that can generate, manipulate and host code all on its own OR its versions and structure changing to new modern for that time styles, which in turn is gonna make you foolish remembering all that legacy boilerplate, is higher than 50% if you think about it.

Learning a lot – knowing nothing

2024-11-18T00:00:00.000Z

The more I learned, the more I discovered how foolish I am to not know more.

1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000

2024-11-05T00:00:00.000Z

Imagine a situation when you have to read this number out loud, what would you say?

🗣️: it is (billion) times (billion) times (billion) times (thousand)!!!

Actually, did you know, there is a word for that (huuuuge) number as per BIPM.

In 2022, BIPM (Bureau International des Poids et Mesures) came up with a word that can describe 10^27 and 10^30 in both (negative and positive) forms.

- Quetta

- Quecto

- Ronna

- Ronto

🔑 takeaway

I believe in Moore’s Law to be more truthful rather than ‘falsy’, as even the naming conventions are adapting for the growth in computing power that’s required to process data in today’s world. We are entering new age, where human language is going to be main programming language for all computers.

Now, I don’t love you billion times; I am deeply drowning in your love quetta times.

Backtracking & Dynamic Programming

2024-10-17T23:00:00.000Z

Backtracking and Dynamic Programming: Powerful Problem-Solving Techniques

Backtracking and dynamic programming are two fundamental algorithmic paradigms in computer science that are crucial for solving complex problems efficiently. While they approach problem-solving from different angles, both techniques are invaluable in a programmer's toolkit.

Backtracking

Backtracking is an algorithmic technique for solving problems recursively by trying to build a solution incrementally, one piece at a time, removing those solutions that fail to satisfy the constraints of the problem at any point of time.

Key characteristics:

Depth-first search approach
Explores all possible solutions
Abandons a path as soon as it determines that it cannot lead to a solution

Common applications of backtracking include:

Solving puzzles (e.g., Sudoku, N-Queens)

Generating permutations and combinations

Maze-solving algorithms

Dynamic Programming

Dynamic programming is a method for solving complex problems by breaking them down into simpler subproblems. It is applicable when the subproblems are not independent and there are overlapping subproblems.

Key characteristics:

Optimal substructure
Overlapping subproblems
Memoization or tabulation to store intermediate results

Common applications of dynamic programming include:

Fibonacci sequence calculation

Shortest path algorithms

Knapsack problem

Comparison and Insights

While both backtracking and dynamic programming are used to solve complex problems, they differ in their approach:

Backtracking explores all possible solutions and prunes paths that don't lead to a valid solution.

Dynamic programming builds solutions to subproblems and combines them to solve the main problem.

Backtracking is often used when we need to find all (or some) solutions to a problem.

Dynamic programming is typically used when we need to find an optimal solution and the problem has overlapping subproblems.

Understanding when to apply each technique is crucial for efficient problem-solving in algorithm design and implementation.

Conclusion

Mastering backtracking and dynamic programming can significantly enhance a programmer's problem-solving skills. These techniques, while different in their approach, are both powerful tools for tackling complex computational problems efficiently.
