My first ever pull request got merged, that too in my most favourite open source organization (notice the Konqi in my pfp??). For a life long KDE software enjoyer, it's a big day
Thank you Mr. Carl Schwan for helping me out :)

TIL about the diff b/w a throttle and debounce.
Both are used to reduce the number of times a fn is called by an event that fires repeatedly.
Throttle calls the fn at regular intervals
Debounce calls the fn at a particular instant (either the start/end of the event firing)

error handling > preconditions & invariants and relating invariants with RAII
im so confused right now. Maybe I'll understand it better with time

modularity > function arguments and return values > argument passing, value return (pass by value & reference), return type deduction (auto), suffix vs prefix return type, structured binding
now i'll do some uni assignments before calling it a day lol

Happy to announce that I did not waste my Sunday on college acads. I spent it on doing what I like. Craziest and most eventful day of the year. I'll get into the details later, but I can promise that it was really crazy and unexpected :DD

most of my time was spent in reading about CMake and compiling KDE's ebook reader.

This article really satisfied my itch. Cmake always felt like this scary alien thing, now everything FINALLY makes SENSE.

- user defined types: revised yesterday's, enums
- modularity: intro, separate compilation (header files, modules)
kinda reminded me of the OOP paradigms I had learnt in Java before. Abstraction in particular with how header files expose an interface.

Consistency >> Intensity I think. Reducing my daily tour-of-cpp hours from 1 to half because of academic pressure. Better than stopping all together I guess

![A screenshot of a programming editor displaying two side-by-side C++ code files, both implementing a `Vector` structure/class for dynamic arrays.
The left file, titled "SHIT IMPLEMENTATION," uses a C-style `struct Vector` and a separate function `void vector_init` for memory allocation, leading to manual memory management and potential errors. It shows the `read_and_sum` function creating a `Vector v` and then calling `vector_init(v, s)`. The terminal output below shows only numerical output (2, 4, 6, 8, 10).
The right file, titled "APPARENTLY BETTER IMPLEMENTATION," uses a modern C++ `class Vector` with a constructor for initialization (`Vector(int s) : elem{new double[s]}, sz{s} {}`) and an overloaded subscript operator (`double &operator[](int i)`). The `read_and_sum` function demonstrates cleaner usage (`Vector v(s);` and `v[i]`).
The editor environment is dark-themed, using `nvim` (Vim editor) with a file named `5-vec.cpp`.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:hxvu3w5d3mce5to63inlzoxr/bafkreiee55qfkgvywiwagux2iyxuw7zk2bhxuhegvsx53ypvszhaekk7ci@jpeg)
