Hey there! So I wanted to talk about a moment from my past — something simple but meaningful. It was the moment I unknowingly fell in love with tech, long before I even called myself a developer.

That One Bug That Changed Everything

It was late at night. I was stuck on a tiny bug in a project that didn’t even matter to anyone else. A missing bracket, a wrong variable name — something ridiculously small.

But I remember the exact moment it finally worked.

That sudden rush?

That tiny spark of “holy sh*t, I made this work”?

Yeah… that was the moment.

I didn’t realize it then, but that feeling is what made me fall in love with building things.

When Code Stopped Feeling Like Code

At first, I used to see programming as just syntax, errors, and tutorials I barely understood. But slowly…

Code started feeling like problem-solving

Not typing. Not memorizing. Just figuring things out logically.

Debugging felt like detective work

You follow clues. You eliminate suspects. And in the end, you catch the culprit.

Projects felt like building Lego

Piece by piece, things started coming together.

This shift changed everything for me.

The First Time I Built Something Real

I still remember the first project I actually shipped — not perfect, not pretty, but real.

Maybe it was a small webpage.

Maybe a simple backend.

Maybe a React component that finally rendered correctly.

Whatever it was, it made me think:

“Wait… I can actually *create* things that live on the internet? Things people can use?”

That blew my mind.

Burnout, Breakthroughs, and the Loop

Let’s be honest. Tech isn’t always glamorous.

Burnout happens

Your brain gets fried from bugs and deadlines.

Impostor syndrome hits

You see someone build something insane in 2 hours and wonder why you struggle.

Learning feels endless

You finish one topic and suddenly there are 12 more frameworks waiting.

But then comes the breakthrough — that one moment where everything clicks again.

And suddenly…

You’re back in love with it.

What Tech Taught Me About Myself

This part surprised me the most.

I love solving problems

Even outside coding — I approach everything like a bug that can be fixed.

I’m more patient than I thought

Hours of debugging can do that to you.

I enjoy creating things

Seeing an idea go from your head → your code → your screen? Addictive.

I like challenges

Even when I complain about them.

The Realisation That Changed My Journey

The moment I truly understood was when I started choosing code even when nobody was forcing me.

Not for marks.

Not for a job.

Not for an assignment.

Just because I *wanted* to build something.

That’s when tech stopped being a skill…

and became a part of who I am.

My Honest Take

If you’ve ever stayed up late fixing a bug you could’ve solved tomorrow…

If you’ve ever felt that little high when your code finally runs…

If you’ve ever built something small and felt weirdly proud…

Then yeah — you’re already in love with tech.

You just haven’t admitted it yet.
