I put together a quick deck summarizing and comparing two of the most common tools used for coding right now: VS Code and Cursor. Whether you love to code or are just thinking about starting, I hope you find this useful! I believe that now, more than ever, coding shouldn't be scary. These are the tools I've been using daily for a long time, and I wanted to share my perspective on how they stack up. Check out the comparison below! 👇 #Coding #VSCode #Cursor #DevTools #LearningToCode #VibeCoding

I want to share my POV on vibe coding. So recently, I was curious about why so many people enjoy vibe coding, so I decided to try it myself by building a full-stack application with the help of AI. Here’s what I learned: • Vibe coding is great for accelerating learning, especially if you already have some experience. ( In my case, I learned a lot more about Python during the development process. ) • To avoid an “AI-designed template” look, I believe we should still have our own design direction (from Figma or even simple sketches). This is optional, but it helps keep the product intentional. • We must make sure we actually understand what has been built. Otherwise, it becomes a time bomb for the future. At one point, AI deleted my migration files and created unnecessary ones or if something breaks or behaves unexpectedly, we need to be able to trace the source of the code ourselves. • AI is also useful as an idea generator, especially when we feel stuck or uncertain about the next feature to build. My takeaway: Vibe coding works best when AI is a partner, not the driver. You still need engineering judgment, product thinking, and ownership of the code. https://lnkd.in/dprRPKvY That’s my perspective on vibe coding — we might have different opinions, and I’d love to hear yours.

Day 79 | #100DaysOfCode | #100DaysOfLearning 🧿 Still diving deeper into the Binary Tree pattern ✅ Solved: Symmetric Tree (Leetcode 101) This problem checks whether a binary tree is a mirror of itself around its center. 💡 Key Idea: Instead of comparing nodes in the same direction, we compare them crosswise: Left subtree of node A ↔ Right subtree of node B Right subtree of node A ↔ Left subtree of node B If both sides match at every level → the tree is symmetric. Approach (Recursion): If both nodes are NULL → symmetric If one is NULL → not symmetric Values must match Recursively compare: left.left with right.right left.right with right.left 📌 This problem strengthened my understanding of: ✔️ Mirror recursion in trees ✔️ Comparing two structures simultaneously ✔️ Thinking about trees from two directions at once Consistency continues… 79 days of showing up and learning something new. #100DaysOfCode #DSA #BinaryTree #Leetcode #CodingJourney #ProblemSolving #SoftwareEngineering #TechCommunity #Programmers #Developers #LearnInPublic

🔥 Is LeetCode Runtime Ranking Always True? I recently started my LeetCode consistency journey, solving problems daily to improve my DSA skills. While exploring submissions and leaderboards, I noticed something interesting. Some solutions show 0 ms runtime. At first I thought it was insane optimization… but after digging deeper, I discovered a small trick that can edit the runtime display to 0 ms using a simple code snippet that runs when the program exits. Just a tiny snippet and a small change in the file — and the runtime can appear as 0 ms even if the actual runtime is higher. ⚠️ Of course, this doesn’t make the algorithm faster. Real performance still comes from better logic, time complexity, and clean implementations. Still, discovering these kinds of tricks while learning DSA is pretty fascinating. If you want the code snippet, comment “LeetCode” or DM me — I’ll share it. 🚀 #LeetCode #DSA #Algorithms #CodingInterview #SoftwareEngineering  #DeveloperJourney #Programming #CompetitiveProgramming #CodingTips

The biggest mistake I made as a beginner? Watching endless tutorials and writing very few lines of code. I didn't build a single working project. Understanding comes from doing, not watching. Image Credit: Scrimba #tutorialhell #coding #projects

Steady practice. Sharper instincts. Stronger foundations. #LeetCode #60DaysOfCode #100DaysOfCode #DSA #TwoPointers #Greedy #Algorithms #DataStructures #ProblemSolving #CodingJourney #SoftwareEngineering #TechCareers #Programming #Developers #CodingLife

🧘♂️ The Zen of Coding: Embracing the "Blank Page" We often feel a strange pressure in tech to always be adding. Adding features, adding lines, adding complexity to show we’ve been busy. But true mastery often looks like a blank page and a quiet mind. The Zen of Coding teaches us that the most elegant solution is often the one that removes the most noise. Have you ever spent four hours researching a complex architectural pattern, only to realize you didn't need it at all? That realization isn't a "waste of time." It’s the ultimate win. You saved your system from unnecessary weight and your team from future technical debt. The Lesson: Don't be afraid of the silence between commits. Some of your most productive work happens when your hands aren't even on the keyboard, but your mind is simplifying the problem until the solution feels effortless. When was the last time you decided not to build something because a simpler way appeared? Does "less is more" resonate with your workflow, or do you prefer to build robustly from the start? Let’s find some balance in the comments! 👇 #ZenOfCoding #SoftwareEngineering #Simplicity #MindfulTech #Python #CleanArchitecture

I'm not smart enough to code. I can't code because I'm not good at math. Does this sound like you? It's something I hear all of the time. There's enough gatekeeping going on already, so the last thing you need to add to the mix is self sabotage. If you can flex your problem solving muscle, you can program. I spent some time and recorded a quick 100% free video course to help you take those first steps. You'll learn about some terms you've heard floating around and understand what's involved with being a software developer. No code to write. And best of all, no math involved. #Coding #LearnToCode #Programming #Courses

How I’m trying to improve my problem-solving in coding. When I first started solving coding problems, I would immediately jump into writing code. If it didn’t work, I’d debug randomly. Recently, I’ve been forcing myself to slow down. Here’s what I’m trying instead: • Read the constraints carefully; • Solve small examples manually; • Identify possible patterns before coding; • Think about time complexity upfront. I’m still learning, but shifting from “typing fast” to “thinking clearly” has already made a noticeable difference. Trying to build structured problem-solving instead of rushing into syntax. #BTech #Programming #ProblemSolving
