Day 1 - The Beginning

3:30 AM. Six hours deep into code. And it's finally alive.

What I Did Today

Today wasn't just another day. Today was Day 1 of my journey. The day I decided to stop planning and start building.

For the past 6 hours, I've been in the zone — fixing bugs, tweaking styles, pushing commits, and watching my website come to life. It's 3:15 AM now, and I'm not tired. I'm alive.

Highlights

✅ Built and deployed prakashtsx.me from scratch
✅ Set up Learning Journey and Tech Blog sections
✅ Connected my custom domain
✅ Fought with ESLint errors and won
✅ Made countless commits, each one a step forward
✅ Turned an idea into reality in one sitting

What I Learned

Building is hard. But finishing is harder.

Thoughts & Reflections

I've had this idea for so long — a place to document my journey, share what I learn, and track my growth. But I kept waiting for the "perfect time" or the "right moment."

Tonight, I realized something: There is no perfect time. There's only now.

So I sat down, opened my editor, and started coding. One component at a time. One fix at a time. One commit at a time.

And now? It's live. My website. My domain. My space on the internet.

This isn't just a website. It's a commitment. A promise to myself that I'll show up every day, document my journey, and keep building — no matter how small the progress.

The Emotion Behind It

I won't lie — there were moments tonight when I wanted to give up. When the build failed for the 5th time. When ESLint threw errors I didn't understand. When I couldn't figure out why markdown wasn't rendering properly.

But I didn't quit.

Because this matters. I matter.

Every developer starts somewhere. Tonight was my somewhere. Tomorrow, I'll be one step further.

Looking Forward

This is just the beginning. Tomorrow (or later today, technically), I'll:

Write my first technical blog post
Continue learning and building
Push myself beyond comfort zones

A Note to Future Me

If you're reading this weeks, months, or years from now — remember this night.

Remember how it felt to build something from nothing. Remember the 3 AM exhaustion that felt like pure joy. Remember why you started.

You built this. You can build anything.

"Code, Learn, Document, Repeat"

Tonight, I coded. Tonight, I learned. Tonight, I documented.

Tomorrow, I repeat.
