So Uhh, What Even is This?

Hello to you there!! You’ve somehow landed on this page — so welcome :D

Not gonna lie, I wasn’t sure how to go about this intro, so it’s kind of messy.

Then again, most of my posts will probably look like this too, so... there’s no defending me.

What is this blog, and why am I doing this?

So what exactly am I gonna do here?

I’ll just talk about what I’ve learned throughout the week — where I probably messed up, what I realized, and what made sense in hindsight. It’s never a straight line. There are ups, downs, and moments where the line gets blurry.

But those are the moments when we take off our glasses —

(okay, I know this sounds weird — like one of those fight scenes where the main character dramatically takes off their glasses right when they need them the most — but wait, let me finish what I was saying)

— to clean them.

Yes, that’s right. ahahaha.

(I’m a little lame, please don’t leave.)

But genuinely — if you were to ask — this blog is a running journal of what I’m learning, building, failing at, and figuring out.

Basically, me trying to make sense of tech, college, and life.

What am I into?

Well, I’m still figuring that out too. But for now, I’m leaning into Artificial Intelligence, Data Science, and anything that lets me build, break, and make sense of systems.

What can you expect here?

Weekly learning logs. Occasional rants. A few half-baked ideas. And a whole lot of figuring-it-out energy.

To kick things off, I’m throwing myself into a 100 Days of DSA Challenge (yaaay).

I’ll be learning C++ alongside it — just enough to get the concepts to make sense to me (if ykwim).

So who am I?

To be honest, I don’t fully know yet. Still figuring it out.

But on paper: I’m a second-year engineering student, studying Artificial Intelligence and Data Science.

Not sure about the Data Science part yet, but I definitely got that Artificial intelligence.

(Okay I’ll stop.

…No I won’t.

Okay maybe I will.)

Where am I starting from?

While I am in my second year, I haven’t really studied anything substantial yet that would help me build something by myself. So I’d say I’m at square one.

I know absolutely nothing.

It feels like a clean slate, honestly — so I’m starting my journey now, and y’all are here with me :)

Why the name?

404: Kinda Lost

“This blog is named after a broken link, which… honestly sums up my mental state half the time.”

If you’re asking what that really means — and genuinely want an answer — you’re in for a joyride with me.

( ;) Okay, no, that was weird. I promise I’m not this weird.

Okay, maybe a little.)

I don’t know who’s gonna be reading this or sticking around for this journey — if anyone does, that is — but I hope you find something here that makes you feel a little less lost than you think you are.
