Welcome to my microblog. I use it to collect short-form notes, snippets and media.
I've realised so much of my daily prouctivity is just a mind game. If I'm not in the right mindset, I'm not going to be productive. But the thing is, getting in the right mindset is a choice, and a skill that comes with practice. Even when not in the mood, you can train your mind – tell it stories, and it'll bring out the mood, ultimately getting you back in the in the zone.

Impostor syndrome doesn’t mean you’re a fraud. It just means you’re growing. Real frauds don’t worry about falling short. Learners do.
Most things I’ve done well—first PRs, public speaking, even grad school—started before I *felt* ready. Don’t wait to be confident. Just begin, and let experience catch up.
In open source, you don’t just learn code. You learn who you are when no one's assigning you work. It's accountability, service, and growth rolled into one. Highly recommend contributing even once.
