LeetCode is fun!

For a long period of time, I didn't consider myself a programmer, I was more of a PO in my last company(which was a software development agency) and the main reason was that I wanted it to be that way! I guess it was because I thought engineering and developing skills are not that important or anyone could do it, however this belief changed a while ago. I found out that engineering is cool and I was in fact an "engineer"( I did my B.Sc. in Electrical Engineering). I did learn programming when I was 14 and I started out with Qbasic and then did a bit of PHP and html, css, python, Java, C/C++, and microcontroller's programming along the way through college, but I never considered myself a "programmer". I knew how to get things done and how to develop projects but there was this fear...

A few months ago this changed for good, I finally forgived myself and and I finally considered myself an engineer, I found this amazing website LeetCode which basically challenged everything I knew and the questions were actually hard and worth spending time. So I recently started to do "some" challenges daily and I believe this is the correct next step for me. Let's see!

P.S. here is my profile by the way! I have one badge and I'm proud of it :))))

Project Debrief: The Gym Wall of Shame

A Little Background  It started as a quirky idea during one of my more reflective moments post-pizza (yes, not post-gym!). What if I had a fun way to keep track of my actual gym visits versus those I just claimed to have attended? Thus was born the "Gym Wall of Shame" — a project where I combine a bit of coding with some of my gym data. The whole idea is to have a public page where everyone(literally everyone) can keep track of how many gym sessions they actually had!  The whole idea: It's an attempt to make myself really go to the gym by publicly sharing all of the data! The Setup  The backbone of this project is FastAPI and Svelte — one handling my backend bravado and the other serving the frontend.  FastAPI - The Backend Buddy  In the land of the backend, I set up FastAPI to do the heavy lifting. It’s got two main parts:  app.py: This is where all the magic happens. It decides what data gets shown and keeps everything moving smoothly.  scraper.py: M...

The genesis!

Arch of ConstantineThis is my very first post! I try to write daily to achieve a certain set of goals: I believe that I need to keep track of what I'm doing since I'm feeling I always don't have enough time! I guess writing and sharing what I do with the public also engages me to be more productive, but we shall wait to see if this is the case for me :) Sometimes there is a feeling inside me that I have no bold memories and I'm too much living at the moment. I guess writing would be that mark I'm engraving on the rocks of the Internet! For that, I tried to start writing, not sure whether can continue this but I'll try my best! These days I'm trying to re-create the Amir I once used to be, more agile, more creative, more fruitful. This is part of that effort to make Amir great again! The following photo is from the Arch of Constantine, but nothing related to this topic. Just a lovely photograph! Arch of Constantine, Rome, Italy Hope you all have a nice day!
