Why do you hate working on weekends?
Its 7 P.M on a Friday and you are excited for the weekend! You are wrapping your work. Making those last commits and pushing your piece of code for the week. Making sure all your timesheets are completed and all the necessary mails have been fired to your co-workers. Reminiscing the movie nights, you are…
Why do I want to become a Full-Stack Web Developer?
I have been working in the web development domain for almost 2 years now. These 2 years were pretty exciting and yet after 2 years, I realized a number of things. I have worked on 30+ projects. Some personal, but the majority of them were part of my professional life. During these 2 years, I…
Back to basics after 1.5+ years of experience – Quarantine edition
The world is going through strange times. The pandemic has indeed brought everyone and everything to a stand-still. But, on the other hand it has opened multiple doors to new opportunities.

Remove all console.log() in one go!
No matter how senior you are, you are definitely going to use the evergreen `console.log()` to debug your javascript or typescript project. There is no problem in doing so (some javascript veterans might disagree), but the problem arises when you forget removing them and push your code for: Code review (by raising a pull request)…
Ignoring a block of code while linting your typescript code – TSLINT
If you have been working with typescript oriented frameworks like Angular, you must be linting your code before submitting it. And if by any chance you are working in Angular and not linting your code, I just have 1 thing to say to you: For the ones for whom “linting” is an alien term, let…
Figuring out product development
A product is a result of an old saying – necessity is the mother of invention. I have been working on a product called NotesHub – A study material sharing platform and still, there are things which leave me perplexed. I have been developing NotesHub, along with my team from the last 3 years and…
