Don't ever share your weak side with others🤫...they'll just blow it out of proportion. Keep it 💪to yourself and work on making it better. Instead, whenever you get the chance, tell people how much you love the things you have, even if they're not everyone's cup of tea🤦‍♀. Believe me, once you accept and embrace what you've got, others won't have a choice but to love it too💃💃"


It's miracle's journey

My earpad goes battery low…
So I’m just walking, minding my business, thinking about free will like some philosopher.

Then out of nowhere, this pretty girl shows up in front of me.
I’ve known the direction for 4 years straight… but my brain decides to malfunction and ask her anyway.

She says, “I’m heading there too.”
Cool. Destiny activated.

But here’s the plot twist:
My free will disappears like WiFi when the power goes out.
I suddenly SHOUT: “You’re pretty as hell!”
Crowd turns.
Old mamas start praying.
One “wede geta nu?” guy freezes in 144p. 😭😭

She gets shy.
Then I drop the cringiest line of the century:
“Zare chereka yelechma? Kenu snt new?”
She says yes.
Me: “Anchin tekta new.”
Why? I don’t know. Ask free will.


I ask for her number in the taxi.
She gives me a FAKE one.
My dum ahh calls immediately like a scammer doing verification.
“Lemin siliksh ayteram?”
She sighs: “Eski koy lew.”
Gives me the real number.


One dude was watching EVERYTHING.
Like a Netflix audience member.
Start to finish. No skipping.

On my way back…
I accidentally meet him again.
He goes, “Bro… I know her. We were classmates. You did good.”

At that moment even one arogit started megelameting my ahh 😭😭


After the whole saga…
I finally understood why I don’t use my free will.

But damn… it was one hell of a journey 😂😭

@DEVLUTO

Love is in the code 😭😂😂😂

@DEVLUTO

When did this stopped working 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

@DEVLUTO

Enough shit posts

Back to work

@DEVLUTO

I honestly thought I was going to spend the next week building an API.
You know the drill: set up an Express server, connect Mongoose, write Schemas, debug connection errors, cry a little...

Then I tried Supabase.

I literally just pasted two API keys into my phone, wrote one line of code:
supabase.from('donations').insert({ amount: 50 })

And... it worked.
The data is there. Secure. Saved.

I’m sitting here waiting for the catch. Where is the hours of configuration? Where is the "Connection Refused" error?
It’s honestly scary how fast this was. I feel like I skipped a grade in school.( A lil dramatic I know 😁)

If you are a frontend dev scared of the "Backend" monster.. just use Supabase. It’s like having a Senior Backend Engineer in your pocket who does all the hard work for you.

We finally have a brain for the app. 🧠✨

@DEVLUTO

Guys, here’s what I noticed today.

Most people in dev communities are genuinely there for you. They share what they know, give guidance, and help you see the path more clearly. I talked to many programmers I really wanted time with, and they were eager to help, explaining their journeys, offering advice, and sharing lessons from their own struggles.

They don’t want you to go through the same struggles they did. They tell you what to do, what to avoid, and what to focus on. That kind of openness is priceless.

And one more thing I deeply respect: when someone at an elite level is humble enough to listen, answer every question, and genuinely care. That humility is powerful.
