💻 Day 1 – I Won’t Stop Until I Make It

Hey there, fellow devs, job seekers, and dreamers 👋

I’m Surendhar — (Kandathai podum nanbar) your friend who shares whatever he sees who says things just as they are.

Today is Day 1 of something I’ve always meant to do — not just chasing a job, but actually documenting my ups and downs, my doubts, my wins, and everything in between on this journey to becoming the kind of developer I truly want to be.

🏁 So, what’s special about Day 1?

Honestly? Not much.

I didn’t ship a product. I didn’t get a job. No recruiter messaged me “You’re hired.”
But still... I showed up today. And that’s a win.

Here’s what I did today:

• ✅ Watched the first 10 videos/80 of Code4Education’s React - Beginner to Advanced playlist. Felt good to finally get into the groove again.

• ✅ Solved a neat little Java problem. Baby steps — but each one counts.

• 🎵 Took a breather and randomly discovered this absolute gem of a song:
  Frangipani (Acoustic) – Kaber Vasuki
  Something about it just… hit me. Like it understood the weird mental zone I’m floating in lately.

🧠 Dev Brain vs. Distraction Brain

There’s always that inner voice whispering:

“Bro, time’s ticking — learn Spring Boot also da!”

Today, I shut it down. I told myself:

“Focus on React first. One thing at a time. No context-switching circus.”

Because truth is, I already know React, Spring Boot, MVC — I’ve touched these before.
This phase is about rebuilding my muscle memory, refining what I know, and getting job-ready.

🤷 Why am I blogging this?

I don’t expect thousands of views. Heck, maybe no one reads this.

But in my head I thought — even in a vast ocean, if you toss a stone, maybe a fish will notice.

If one developer reads this and thinks,
“Hey, same bro. I feel this too.”
— then this blog was worth it.

🚀 What’s next?

Tomorrow = Day 2. I’ll try to make it more fun. More stories. Maybe some memes.
This was just the first post — the “let’s break the ice” one.

So until then, this is your tell-it-like-it-is buddy,
Surendhar — still jobless, still hopeful, and still grinding. ✌️

One day at a time.
One commit at a time.
One blog post at a time.
Let’s go. 🔥
