System Autist Log: Day 0

“I am falling, I am fading, I have lost it all. If remembered, then you never existed. No matter you are connected.“

Welcome to Becoming a System Autist or Die Trying.

This is not your typical feel-good “my coding journey“ blog. This is a public log of a battle against mediocrity, comfort, and brainrot.

What This Series Will be

A raw, unfiltered log of my attempt to break out of average, become competent in system-level programming and low-level development, and build projects that actually works.

It’s part diary, part accountability tool, part personal hell —designed to document real progress, failures and all the in-between.

Why I’m Doing This

  • I don’t want to be just another dev.

  • I don’t want to be someone who “knows the basics“ but ships nothing.

  • I don’t want to forget what I learned two weeks ago because I kept doomscrolling and deep in gacha instead of coding.

The goal? Build a System Brain —one that thinks in terms of process, memory management, network protocols, low level logic, and actual shipped code.

What To Expect

  • Daily Logs (short summaries, problems faced, things built)

  • Weekly reflections

  • Project breakdowns (Code, design, failures, fixes)

  • Brutal honesty → if I fail, I write it down.

  • No motivational fluff → just technical progress

Rules I’m Following

  • Minimum 2 hrs/day of actual coding output

  • 1 Git commit per day, no exceptions.

  • If I skip 3 consecutive days, I will write a failure post* explaining what went wrong.

  • Sleep 6 hours, college 8 hours → rest of the day is fair game for the grind.

Let’s see How Far I can Push

If you have ever felt stuck in mediocrity, maybe this inspires you too.

If not you can watch me suffer and crash publicly

Either way, the logs begin now.
