If we don’t fight back against predatory practices and exploitation against AI right now, than what was it all for? Raise a ruckus. Let’s do this.

📌 We're hosting an event!!! 📌

🟣 This Sunday at 2:30 PM (+5:30 GMT) onwards, we're hosting "Weekend Workspace" in the codeblr discord server, an attempt to mimic a physical lounge where we hang out, work on our coding projects/learn concepts with some chill company :)

🟣 Looking forward to seeing you there :]

second brain

i saw this concept online where you can have a second brain for things your brain can't hold and I didn't think it was important till i started going deep into Javascript and i kept encountering, going back and forth with information, articles and resources. Just so much to read so I created a Second Brain - Basically an organized Notion Page where I can sort everything out in order and @codomars inspired me to add Notes to it so I can easily go back and read my notes to refresh my memory on concepts, topics or mechanisms I need to remember and I have the Notion app installed on my phone so I can always read or reach out to my other brain when I need it.

Toxic Programmers

I've been helping some people on a Roblox dev Discord server recently. I noticed that, for those that help others, there's some kind of competition for who's the most right. When people correct other helpers, it feels that they're so visceral, as if they think everyone is below them. Those who get corrected fight back hard, as if being wrong is somehow the death knell of their credibility. In my professional career, being wrong is another opportunity to learn. You can even teach each other if you're both a bit right. Maybe that's because I don't feel as if someone at work is trying to pull me down. On Discord, it could feel more so that someone *does* think you're stupid. I just wish I could help people and be excited for someone to correct me by explaining it in depth (which has happened a few times now.) Less experienced people just get immediately hated for trying to help, even if they are mistaken. Why can't helping people be a collaborative effort?

Anyone who wants to appreciate Kruskal's Algorithm can like this

Winning is Never Whining

Denis Waitley’s quote, “Winning is never whining,” serves as a straightforward but profound reminder that success comes from resilience, not complaints. It highlights the difference between focusing on solutions and getting stuck in negativity.

Winners Don’t Complain: At its core, the quote suggests that true winners don’t waste time whining about their circumstances or challenges. Complaining only shifts the focus from progress to problems, while winners channel their energy into overcoming obstacles and finding ways to move forward. Success requires a proactive mindset, not one bogged down by complaints.

Synopsis of story: 

Sonic sits with Uncle Chuck at the chili dog stand, sharing stories and reminiscing about their past adventures, including their connection with Emerl. Uncle Chuck, unfamiliar with Emerl, asks if a chili dog might distract Sonic from his thoughts. As they chat, a radio broadcast reports about the appearance of enigmatic robots causing chaos across Mobius. Ben Muttiski arrives but is persuaded by Uncle Chuck to help manage the chili dog stand.

Tails rushes in, urgently informing Uncle Chuck that Sonic sped off to warn Sally and gather the Freedom Fighters. Tails catches up with Sonic, conveying the gravity of the situation. Sonic, already aware, humorously prepares for action while acknowledging Tails' seriousness. They unite with Sally and the Freedom Fighters, inspired by the events of the ''Countdown to Chaos'' arc from the Archie Comics. This marks the start of the "Neublite War" arc, where Werehog Sonic's potential involvement is contemplated.

Amidst strategizing for the impending conflict with the mysterious robots, the team gears up, anticipating a significant showdown.

Here’s some footage above of the prototype:
