Week 30 In the Year of our Lord, 2026

Thanks to a newly rejuvenated Instagram addiction my sleep schedule has been super messed up. This is slowly recovering but hasn't reached where it should be yet. It's still all over the place. I keep on waking up late, and as a consequence my journey to office keeps on getting delayed sometimes to the extent that I have to work from home, and I despise working from home. The feeling of two monitors is very comforting.

My work this week has been drafting documents and writing less code. Thanks to AI tools at work, I am now afraid I am somewhat losing my ability to code. I am also discovering new things like why writing code is important and have a newfound appreciation for my learning. Writing code is often the best educator of why you should write certain codes and why you should not write certain other codes. Good code, is often straightforward to read and reason and easy to write as well. Unfortunately, if an LLM does all the writing, you will never even figure out what good code looks like.

My health, I am afraid has worsened in the time. I somehow feel an acute lack of energy in my actions. I am not sure where this is coming from, but whatever it is, I hope it ends soon. I hate being cooped up.

My Pixel phone's power button fell off. In an embarrassing mode of failure that I did not know was possible, my phone's power button fell off. I noticed it after I got off the bus and reached my apartment, trying to turn on my phone screen from a button that was no longer there. Pixel manufacturers, what the **** bro! The least they can do is a make a phone that is not this vulnerable to mechanical defects of great embarrassment. It low key would have been at least explainable had the screen cracked or batter exploded. How tf do I even explain to other people this mode of failure. I went to a couple of places where I expected to find mobile spares, with no luck, I am pretty sure the repair guy also snickered at me. Oh the horror!

Ending on a nicer note, I met one of my friends on Friday evening, we went to a Pizza place (said expensive Pizza place in description), I was complimented on my hair, and my recent trip to Japan. I enjoyed it. We also roamed around HSR Layout, and did other random things finally ending with a soda at coffee makers. The guy accidentally made Masala Soda with sugar in it, but its okay. Accidents happen.

Happy August, dear readers!
