The validation you get from ChatGPT really is something else. Every question, no matter how basic, gets accepted with a warm, encouraging “That’s a wonderful take Darshana, now you are thinking deeper,” followed by even more praise. If only everyone responded with that kind of understanding.

In my SwiftUI list, while adding a new note item to my data source array (I insert a new element at the 0th index), the scroll doesn't align itself properly. Any idea around this behavior? Am I missing something? #Swift #SwiftUI

If you've ever faced a bug where your app crashes sometimes but works properly the other times, chances are it is because of data races.

I've compiled an article to help you with such cases using actors in swift.

AI has made life so much easier, right? It saves time, helps solve problems fast, and boosts productivity. But have you ever stopped to think—when was the last time you sat down and figured something out completely on your own?

Came back from a break, stared at my screen for 30 minutes, and almost convinced myself to ‘start fresh tomorrow.’ Instead, I picked one tiny task. Just one. That small step broke the inertia. If you're feeling stuck after a break, don’t aim big. Just start small. Momentum follows.

A bad moment doesn’t deserve a whole day. Pause. Reset. Move forward. I know it’s easier said than done, but every time I let go a little faster, I win a little more. Progress over perfection.

It’s fascinating how LLMs can be more persuasive than humans. Research shows they help people let go of their dark sides—not through arguments, but with an uncanny, human-like empathy. After all, they’ve learned from countless human experiences.

I’ve noticed that the more I think, the scarier things seem. But the moment I start doing, fear starts shrinking.

If you’re stuck in overthinking, just take that first step—you’ll see the difference.

How do I remind myself that everything isn’t an emergency? Maybe a Post-it on my desk that says: 'Relax. You’re not defusing a bomb. Loosen those shoulders, unclench your jaw, and breathe.

Crazy how DeepSeek started as a side project by some devs. Meanwhile, my side projects are just collecting digital dust. Time to get serious!

Has anyone here tried the Rednote app? I heard that after the TikTok ban, a lot of people in the US switched to it. I’m not from the US, but it got me curious. Would love to hear your thoughts if you’ve used it!

Meta is planning on adding AI characters to their social platforms. These characters would have their own profiles, bios and share AI powered content. As exciting as this sounds, it also raises concerns.

What are your thoughts?

DeepSeek V3 seems to identify itself as ChatGPT, and this has resulted in a few concerns;

Is it just mimicking what it’s seen online because there's so much ChatGPT content out there?

Or was it trained on ChatGPT data?
