Thoughts, tutorials, and insights.
Modern JavaScript tooling creates friction through bloated configs, ESLint–Prettier conflicts, and slow feedback. Biome replaces that with a single Rust-based tool that unifies linting and formatting, runs 10–20× faster, and requires minimal configuration—making tooling fast, predictable, and invisible again.
AI coding agents can accidentally access sensitive files like .env. Samar creates a shadow workspace so agents can edit code safely without ever seeing your secrets.
Watching tutorials feels productive—but it’s not the same as learning. Real coding skill comes from building, breaking, and fixing things yourself.
The answer is: it depends. It depends on whether you have the opportunity. If you do, take it. If you don’t, you can still work in IT and become a software engineer.
A brief introduction to my journey in IT—how early curiosity, inspiration from hacking culture, and years of tinkering led me into software, security, and data engineering. This blog is a space where I share experiences, insights, and lessons learned while continuously exploring and building in the tech world.
