As part of the Keploy API Fellowship, I was given a task to explore API testing using the Keploy Chrome Extension. Honestly, I wasn’t sure what to expect at first. My past experience with API testing was mostly through manual methods — using Postman, writing curl commands, and trying to figure out headers and request bodies. It always felt time-consuming and repetitive. But when I actually tried the Keploy extension, I was genuinely shocked by how smooth and intelligent the entire experience was.

📋 Fellowship Task Overview

This was Task 2 of the Keploy API Fellowship. The requirement was to test APIs from at least two different websites that use real API calls. I also had to use the Keploy Chrome Extension to capture and test those APIs and finally write a blog post about the experience. It sounded simple, but I had no idea how game-changing this tool would be.

🌐 Websites I Chose for Testing

To complete the task, I used two web applications hosted by Keploy. The first one was the Pet Clinic App — a Spring Boot application where you can view and manage pet owners, pets, and their visits. The second was a Todo App — a lightweight task manager where you can add, view, and delete tasks. Both applications are API-driven and built specifically for practicing API testing. This made it really easy to see the results of my testing almost instantly.

🧪 How I Used the Keploy Chrome Extension

I began by installing the Keploy API Testing Chrome Extension from the Web Store. Once that was set up, I opened the developer tools in Chrome, navigated to the Network tab, and clicked “Start Capture” in the Keploy extension. Then I interacted with the applications — clicking buttons, adding and deleting data, and navigating through different pages. Keploy silently recorded all the API calls in the background. It captured the full request and response cycle, including the URL, method, headers, body, and response. After I stopped the capture, I reviewed the list of recorded calls, and I was surprised to see how complete and structured they were — ready to be turned into test cases without me having to write a single line of code.

😲 What Shocked Me

The most surprising part of the experience was how little effort it took to generate test cases. I didn’t need to write any test logic or commands. Everything I did in the browser — from clicking to submitting forms — was turned into a testable API flow. Keploy used AI to understand and organize the calls, and I could clearly see how it handled different endpoints. This was a huge change from the manual method where you have to note down each API detail yourself and structure it for testing later. With Keploy, everything was real-time and automated.

📸 A Peek at the Test Report

One of the most satisfying parts of this task was looking at the test report generated by Keploy. It visualized the API interactions clearly, showing which endpoints were called, what inputs were sent, and what the expected responses were. I took a screenshot of one of these reports and added it to my project README because it genuinely represented the power of AI-driven testing. It felt like the tool understood my intentions and did the work for me.

📈 What I Learned

This task helped me understand that testing doesn’t have to be difficult or time-consuming. Keploy’s Chrome Extension brings a level of simplicity and automation that makes testing not just accessible but also enjoyable. I learned how to turn simple browser interactions into solid test cases without worrying about missing headers or writing scripts from scratch. It gave me a fresh perspective on how powerful and beginner-friendly modern testing tools can be.

🧠 From Manual to Magical

Before doing this task, I always saw API testing as a technical chore — something necessary but tiring. Now, after using the Keploy Chrome Extension, I actually look forward to testing. It saves time, removes confusion, and gives quick confidence that your APIs are working correctly. This task really shifted my thinking. It made me realize that with the right tools, testing can be an exciting part of the development process.

✍️ Final Note

This Keploy API Fellowship task turned out to be one of the most fun and insightful things I’ve done recently. Big thanks to the Keploy team for building such a useful extension and for encouraging developers like me to explore modern testing practices. I’m excited to use Keploy in my future projects and to continue learning how AI can make software testing smarter and simpler.

Imagine working hard for years, and then, after some time, reaching a point where you no longer need to work for the rest of your life. You can choose to work if you enjoy it, but otherwise, there’s no obligation. Sounds cool, right?

That is financial freedom. Today, I want to share my insights on financial freedom — why it’s important, how to train the mind psychologically for it, and why it’s a long-term game.

So, without wasting any time, let’s dive in.

What is Financial Freedom?

As I’ve already explained, financial freedom means living life without the need to work when you don’t want to.

Why is it Important?

We all have dreams. I do too. But can we achieve them easily? TBH, no. And why is that?

Because money isn’t readily available to us in the way we need it. However, once you achieve financial freedom, these dreams become possible.

So, how do you achieve it? If you ask me that, here’s what I’d say:

Training the Mind Psychologically

How do we train our minds psychologically, and why should we?

We need to condition our minds to avoid spending money unnecessarily. Many people, including myself, wonder: “I keep saving, but I see no results.”

Hold on — I’m not telling you to just save money aimlessly.

There are various saving and investing strategies, like the 60–40 rule, but I don’t follow them. Instead, I prefer a different approach:

Step 1: Build an Emergency Fund

Imagine your health suddenly declines, and you’re unable to work. What happens to your family if they depend on your salary? That’s why you need an emergency fund.

Personal Advice: Don’t save money just as cash. Instead, buy gold.

Many might think, “Okay, Anand, then I’ll buy gold jewelry.” But no, you need to buy gold coins or biscuits, depending on the amount you can invest. Your emergency fund should cover at least one year of expenses.

Why gold? Because of inflation, currency depreciation, and more. TBH, if I were to write about it, it would take at least two or more blogs. But to keep it simple, buy gold and store it safely for emergency situations.

Step 2: Get Insurance

Once you’ve secured an emergency fund, you’re slightly safe. Even if you face job loss or an unexpected crisis, you won’t be in immediate financial trouble.

The next step is taking out insurance for yourself and your family.

But TBH, insurance can be a headache. Choosing the wrong one becomes an unnecessary financial burden. So, do your research — watch YouTube videos, compare policies, and make an informed decision.

Step 3: Investing in Stocks and Bonds

At this stage, you now have an emergency fund + insurance, so you’re financially safer for the time being.

Now, it’s time to learn about the stock market and bonds and start investing.

Alert: I am not a SEBI-registered financial advisor; I am only sharing my personal thoughts.

Study stocks — understand their book value, integrity, and overall market behavior before investing. If you’re wondering where to learn about this, I recommend checking out Almost Everything, Animated Book Show, and Money Pechu — they provide great book summaries on stock market investing and psychology.

If you have extra money, don’t put it all in an FD (Fixed Deposit) because FD returns don’t even match inflation. Instead, consider bonds.

Salary Breakdown

Your salary should be distributed as follows:

Salary = Insurance + Investment + Expenses

Pay for insurance and investments first, then spend on expenses. If you spend first, you’ll struggle to invest. It’s human nature, boss.

Other Important Financial Practices

1. Practice Delayed Gratification:
Whenever you want to buy something, don’t purchase it immediately — even if you have the money. Stop yourself.

Wait for days, weeks, or even months. If, after a month, you still genuinely need it, then buy it.

Trust me, when you follow this method, you’ll notice that most of the things you initially wanted weren’t necessary. I am 100% sure about this.

2. Follow Your Mother’s Budgeting Practices:
Your mother is an excellent guide for financial management. TBH, I was shocked to realize that, despite studying personal finance extensively, my mother was already applying many smart financial practices — except investing.

Learn from her in areas like expense tracking, monthly budgeting, and financial discipline.

3. Avoid Spending via UPI Payments:
If you make transactions using UPI, even spending ₹10,000 won’t feel like a big deal. But when you pay in cash, you will hesitate — and that hesitation helps control spending.

Psychology Matters in Investing

Whenever you study investment-related content — whether through books, podcasts, or videos — also listen to at least one book on psychology.

Psychology plays a huge role in financial decisions.

Financial Freedom: A Long-Term Game

If you follow these principles for 10 to 20 years, your returns will be unbelievable.

Some may react by saying, “Are you kidding me? What will I do after achieving financial freedom in 10–20 years?”

Here’s my reply: Even Warren Buffett, one of the greatest investors in the world, became a billionaire at age 55.

Just think about it. I don’t want to scare you, but this is reality. Many jobs aren’t permanent, and financial security ensures an enjoyable life, not just for you but for your entire family.

TBF, following all these steps is tough — even for me. I’m still a beginner, like you. But compared to most people, I might be on step 5 or 10.

How Do We Know We’ve Attained Financial Freedom?

Let’s Use the FIRE Formula. Actually, that’s a great question, right?

You might be saving, investing, and planning — but how do you actually know that you’ve reached the point where you no longer need to work for money?

That’s where the FIRE formula helps.

What is FIRE?

FIRE stands for:

💡 Financial Independence, Retire Early

Our core point of the blog. Now let’s understand how to calculate your own FIRE formula— the amount you need to save or invest to live freely for the rest of your life.

Step 1: Know Your Yearly Expenses

Start by calculating how much money you need in one year to live your current lifestyle.
This includes all your expenses. But without leaving a single rupee.

Let’s say your monthly expense is around ₹40,000.
So in a year, that’s:
₹40,000 × 12 = ₹4,80,000

Your annual expense = ₹4.8 Lakhs

Step 2: Multiply It by 25 — The Magic Number

Now here’s the interesting part.

To find your FIRE number, multiply your yearly expenses by 25.
₹4.8 Lakhs × 25 = ₹1.2 Crores

So, your FIRE number is ₹1.2 Crores.

If you have ₹1.2 Crores invested in reliable places (like index funds, mutual funds, bonds, or other safe long-term assets), you can withdraw 4% of it every year — which equals ₹4.8 Lakhs — and your core amount still keeps growing.

But why do I need to only withdraw 4% anand?

This 4% rule is based on years of research and data from stock market history. On average, good long-term investments give returns of around 7%–10% per year and even 12% sometimes.

If you withdraw just 4%, the rest keeps growing and beats inflation.

So it’s a system where your money pays you back, without finishing itself.

Think of it like this:

• You’re not eating your savings.
• You’re only tasting the interest, while your savings keep working for you in the background.

Actually it’s amazing, right?

Hi guys 👋

Today, I want to share something unexpected. To be honest, if someone had told me a month ago that I could do this, I wouldn’t have believed them. But here we are — I’ve finally released a Python package and dataset called TamilKavi. I still can’t believe I pulled it off, but it’s real!

I’d love to share the whole story with you. Many of you already know me — I write Tamil poetry and have even published two books. However, I faced font issues when trying to release them on Amazon and Kindle. Frustrated, I reached out to my community friend, Hari, and I asked them:
“Bro, I want to release my Tamil poetry book on Amazon, but I’m stuck with font issues. Do you know anyone who can solve it?”

Hari referred me to Ayyanar Bro, and to me it’s a surprise, he was from Madurai — what a coincidence! We spoke almost four times a week for different reasons. I had already written about him and his portfolio website, which he built using Emacs & Org, so I won’t go into more details — you guys might find it repetitive.

Through Ayyanar Bro, I learned about the Tamil Kanchilung community and FreeTamilBooks, where I finally found a solution to my font issue. But here’s another twist — FreeTamilBooks required more poetry for my book release. Because I like to release that in FreeTamilBooks.Then another book on Amazon. That was another headache because, with my tight schedule, I barely had time to write.

While navigating all this, I discovered Tamilrulepy, a Python package with Tamil grammar rules. I was eager to learn more, and unexpectedly, I got an opportunity to contribute to it! That’s when I met Boopalan — another passionate tech enthusiast like me. He helped me write code for TamilRulePy and even invited me to contribute to TamilString, a Python package for documentation. I accepted his invitation and started working on it.

Then, during one of our conversations, I got an idea: why not develop my own Python package? And that’s how TamilKavi was born.

I shared my idea with Boopalan and invited him to build it as a team because, honestly, I’m no expert. But it wasn’t easy — we had to overcome countless challenges, especially since we were both preparing for our model exams and semester exams (he’s an MSc student, and I’m a BSc student). It was a tough time, but I didn’t give up. I studied, understood, and gradually started coding — not entirely on my own, of course.

Now, you might wonder — why build a website? Simple: to collect data from authors. But due to financial constraints, the data collected through the website idea transformed into a Google Form, and now it is a navigation button. It’s another story altogether. Since I had no time, I built a basic structure using Lovable.dev and handed it over to my juniors, Gagan & Rohith, who took care of the website.

The final result? Release of the Python package & website!

I must especially thank Praveen Bro — my community brother and mentor. Without hesitation, he offered me a subdomain. For me, that’s a huge deal, and I’m incredibly grateful!

“Okay thambi, enough of this English talk — why did you release the dataset?” When you ask me likewise.

Well, there’s a reason for that, too. I’ve seen Selvakumar Duraipandian Bro on LinkedIn about their post of numerous Tamil datasets on Hugging Face, including Thirukkural, Tholkappiyam, and more. I was truly inspired by his work. So, I release that as a Dataset.

Now, you might ask, “So, thambi, after all this talk, what does your package actually do?”

It’s simple — TamilKavi helps discover new Tamil poems. That’s all. Now your mind is

“Edhuka evalo seenu?”

Well, I’m not just a developer. The person who is are Tamil poet & tech enthusiast, it’s a crazy project. Through this journey, I’ve learned so much, especially about GitHub workflows.

To be honest, I was shocked when I used Lovable.dev, an AI tool. It made me fearful about job prospects. I’m not an expert, but I have good knowledge of development. However, I haven’t secured a position in a top IT company. For many computer science graduates and those working in startups, it’s a dream to land a job at a major company — it’s a common mindset among middle-class individuals: “How do we secure jobs now?”

After using Lovable.dev and Replit AI, I was stunned. The issue is serious — these AI tools can build entire websites as per specific requirements. Lovable.dev helps with front-end and even generates full-stack boilerplates, while Replit AI goes a step further with integrated front-end, back-end, and database functionalities. Fortunately, Replit AI’s full features are only available with a premium subscription.

The Effect of AI Tools on Jobs for Freshers

AI tools like Lovable.dev raise concerns about job security for freshers in the industry. Because when AI work like this then why company need to hire freshers? This is the focus of today’s blog. Let’s discuss.

After learning about these tools, I connected with professionals working in top IT companies. Initially, they assured me that AI wouldn’t impact job opportunities. But later, I posted about the issue, and one of those same professionals commented, “It is dangerous only.”

The exact words they used in the comment were:
“To be honest, between the time we discussed this and now, a lot has changed, like #vibecoding and stuff. It’s a bit scary.”

This came from my tech mentor and brother, Praveen Kumar Purushothaman, Associate Director of UI Core Architecture at Fitch Group, Inc., London, England, United Kingdom.

Surprisingly, when discussing AI tools within my community, I found that many members, more than just one or two, were completely unaware of them. This led me to write this blog and gather feedback through the following questions:

1. Do you think AI affects job opportunities for freshers?
2. Does it make your work easier?
3. Does your company allow AI-assisted development?
4. If you were a founder, would you encourage or allow your employees to use AI for development?

Community Feedback on AI

Due to busy schedules and a lack of curiosity about these tools, I received only one response — from my brother, Hareesh Rajendran. Here’s his take:

1. Do you think AI affects job opportunities for freshers?
It will have an impact. It won’t eradicate jobs, but it will raise the bar and expectations.

2. Does it make your work easier?
Definitely! I can now write 1,000–10,000 lines of code per day, whereas previously, even 1,000 lines was the max, and that too on a highly productive day.

4. If you were a founder, would you encourage or allow your employees to use AI for development?
100%! I would urge them to adopt AI. If I were a founder, I would even provide them with the best AI subscription.

AI Adoption: A Corporate Decision

In my view, AI tools are shocking and frightening, as I’ve mentioned. But ultimately, major IT companies decide whether AI tools will be used or not. Some top companies already allow developers and interns to utilize AI to enhance efficiency. I know about this from a community friend about 4–6 months ago. However, many companies still prohibit AI-assisted development, making it entirely a company-based decision.

Even though top IT companies embrace AI, they still require developers to have strong knowledge of Data Structures and Algorithms (DSA) for entry-level positions. A few months ago, I read a blog (published by a top press, though I forget the name) that stated:

“IT companies seek developers with knowledge and skills. They allow AI usage but don’t need people who simply copy-paste code generated by AI. When AI-generated code has bugs, developers must have the expertise to fix and explain each line.”

AI’s Impact on Development

At the end of the day, AI adoption depends on company decisions. As a developer, I enjoy using AI — it saves time. I still remember when I first learned web development using HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and Bootstrap. It took me forever to build a single webpage. But now, with AI, we can get a full website front-end for free within one or two hours. With premium access to Replit AI, we can even generate complete websites — including front-end, back-end, and database integration.

Whenever I develop a website, I leverage AI tools like Lovable.dev for front-end development while building the back-end myself. But according to me, we’re in an AI bubble — a phenomenon I frequently discuss with my friends and community. It reminds me of the history an dot-com bubble crash of 2000, when simply having a website for your company could secure funding without needing an actual business model.

Before this AI bubble bursts, we will experience many more shocking advancements, especially for those of us who closely monitor trends and AI releases.

Conclusion

So, is AI a real threat to developers? That remains unclear. AI is certainly dangerous, but it ultimately depends on IT companies’ decisions. However, freshers — especially those working at startups or aiming for positions in major firms — will find it increasingly challenging to secure jobs and retain them.

Freshers who only know HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and Bootstrap might struggle to land positions, even in startups. They must continuously upskill to remain competitive in top IT firms.

Through this blog, I’ve shared my perspective alongside insights from professionals in the IT industry.

Vanakkam Makkalayae!

In today’s digital age, traditional book learning might seem old-fashioned. With the rise of audiobooks, podcasts, and AI-powered tools like NotebookLM by Google, there are numerous ways to gain knowledge. But the big question remains: which one is best? Let’s dive into the discussion!

My Perspective on Books vs. Audiobooks

Nanba, as I mentioned earlier, we are living in a modern era, right? Reading physical books might seem outdated, but to be honest, it is a solid learning method that I personally prefer.

Why Do I Prefer Books?

I’ve listened to over 20+ audiobooks on finance, and I gained valuable insights on money management — how to spend, save, and invest wisely. However, whenever I try to explain these concepts to others, I sometimes struggle to recall the specific terminology. This is one drawback of audiobooks: they help in understanding ideas, but the retention of precise terms can be weaker in our minds.

On the other hand, I still remember the books which I read like Gandhiji’s Sathiya Sothanai, Nelson Mandela’s biography, and various poetry collections, my memory of them is significantly stronger compared to audiobooks. The depth of knowledge retained from reading a physical book feels more structured and lasting.

I have listened to audiobooks multiple times, often uploaded by different channels. Sometimes, they appear in the form of book summaries lasting 10 to 20 minutes. While these formats are useful. But, they don’t always provide the same deep connection and retention as reading a physical book.

The Power of Books

One book that completely transformed my perspective on finance is “Rich Dad, Poor Dad.” I first listened to the audiobook twice, and it truly reshaped my understanding of money, especially the idea that “the rich don’t work for money, money works for the rich.” That concept stayed with me.

Because of the impact, I decided to buy the physical copy of Rich Dad, Poor Dad. Due to time constraints, I couldn’t complete the entire book, but the first three chapters stayed deeply embedded in my mind. This is the strength of books: they leave a lasting imprint that enhances understanding and retention.

Audiobooks vs. Books: A Balanced View

I’m not saying audiobooks are bad. They are great tools for learning, and they played a major role in shaping my financial knowledge. Podcasts, too, helped expand my perspective on startups and entrepreneurship. However, when compared to books, audiobooks have a slight disadvantage when it comes to deep retention and understanding.

Final Thoughts

This is purely my personal opinion on the debate between books and audiobooks. Both have their advantages, and choosing the best one depends on your learning style. Even I preferred audiobooks mostly due to time constraints. But literally, the book is best as always to learn deeply.

What do you think? I’d love to hear your perspective — drop your thoughts in the comments!

Lulu Mall: More Than Shoppings🛒 — A Business Viewpoint

“Use people’s laziness and become rich.”

If someone can capitalize on people’s laziness, they can become rich. By providing comfort and convenience, businesses can charge premium prices — and people are willing to pay. Swiggy and Zomato are prime examples of this business model.

Hi everyone 👋! Last week, I visited Kerala, exploring Vagamon and Kochi. It was an experience filled with beautiful memories. During this trip, I visited the famous Lulu Mall. Ever since I was a child, I’ve been intrigued by the business strategies behind places and events, and Lulu Mall was no exception.

We all know that for middle-class people, shopping at a mall may not always fit their budget. I realized this during my visit to Chennai’s Phoenix Market City Mall, and I had the same thoughts while visiting Lulu Mall.

🔍 Interesting Business Insights I Observed at Lulu Mall

1. Premium Enjoyment for Kids Lulu Mall’s indoor amusement area offers attractions like the Roller Coaster, Ferris Wheel, and Cine Coaster. It also features arcade games and VR experiences. I noticed many kids enjoying themselves here — it truly is an exciting place for them. However, these premium rides and games come at a high cost. While the enjoyment is top-notch, it’s clearly a premium experience designed to encourage spending.

2. The Food Court Strategy On the third floor, Lulu Mall presents a diverse range of dining options. A subtle but clever observation I made was the pricing strategy: food outlets near the escalators charge higher prices due to increased foot traffic, while those located farther away offer comparatively lower rates. This model successfully capitalizes on customer behavior and convenience.

3. Strategic Store Placement The mall’s layout is meticulously designed with anchor stores like Lulu Hypermarket and PVR Cinemas placed at strategic locations. This encourages visitors to walk through the entire mall, exposing them to other shops along the way. It’s a smart way to boost foot traffic and create opportunities for impulse purchases, benefiting both large and small retailers.

4. Seasonal Themes and Promotions To attract repeat visitors, Lulu Mall frequently adopts seasonal promotions and festive decorations. Events such as cultural festivals, sales, and themed displays keep the mall lively and engaging. This ensures that customers always have a reason to return.

5. Focus on Luxury and Aspirational Brands Lulu Mall caters to a broad demographic by offering both essentials for middle-class families and high-end luxury brands. This balance attracts a wide customer base, including those looking to indulge occasionally in premium experiences. It’s a strategy that drives sales while maintaining the mall’s aspirational appeal.

6. Catchy quotes help to keep the brand in customers’ minds. There are numerous examples of this. Each shop in the mall uses advertisements with a quote. These quotes are strategically placed in the mall by the shops.

❓ A Fun Question:

I’ve yet to try burgers or pizza — what do they taste like? Can you compare them to South Indian dishes like Sambar Rice with Potato Fry, Rasam with Potato Fry, or Biryani? I’d love to hear your thoughts!

Alright, guys, that’s it for this blog. Oh, and one more thing! Today, I’ve been on a blogging spree. If you have time, don’t forget to check out my latest post on “Emacs & Org Mode in Windows.”

Note: I am not an expert in Emacs and Org Mode. But I have always loved exploring tech, coding, and finance. This blog is about my journey of exploring Emacs and Org Mode for Static Site Generation using Windows.

When I first know about “Static Site Generation” as a developer, I was amazed. Normally, we develop websites using HTML, and even when using other frameworks, HTML serves as the foundation. But in Static Site Generation, markup languages like Markdown, Org Mode, and others are used. These are then converted into HTML through scripting languages or tools like Emacs, Hugo, and more. This concept was totally new to me!

To be honest, I was astonished when I first heard about it from my brother, Thanga Ayyanar. He exclusively uses Org Mode to maintain his website and blogs. Inspired by his approach, I wanted to learn, use, and explore this tool for myself, and I like to work on Thanga Ayyanar’s website(golayan.in). I also took the opportunity to work on the UI. However, there was one condition from Thanga Ayyanar. They strictly required that I only use HTML and CSS. It was a slight headache, but a challenge I embraced with love.

I aim to host this project soon, and once I do, I will attach the link in this blog below. The challenge, though, is that while Emacs works wonderfully in Linux, I primarily use Windows due to storage constraints. I am unable to use both Windows & Linux like previously on my laptop. Despite this, my curiosity about Emacs and Org Mode drove me to explore them further.

I initially referred to ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Gemini AI for guidance, but their suggestions weren’t helpful enough. Eventually, I discovered my way forward:

1. Since I am comfortable using VS Code, I downloaded the Org Mode extension for it.
2. I then downloaded and installed the latest version of Emacs from:

• Emacs for Windows

3. To build the site, to convert from org to HTML. I ran the following command:

emacs --script build-site.el

4. Finally, I used Python to serve the site locally:

cd public python -m http.server

Then, I went through the code and began to understand how Emacs & Org work . Then how it converts the Org to HTML. I understand the whole process slightly. But, till I have full awareness of Emacs & Org.

Then, I started working on Thanga Ayyanar’s website’s CSS, striving to make it visually appealing. The UI reflects their name in gold, paired with a dark theme. Since Ayyanar bro prefers dark red & gold, I used it for ::selection. You can check out the code I wrote for the website here: https://github.com/anandsundaramoorthysa/goldayan.github.io

This blog is a brief account of my journey into exploring Emacs, Org Mode, and figuring out how to use them on Windows. Initially, it was somewhat challenging, much like when I began learning Python back in 2022. However, as with any skill, it gradually became easier with time and persistence.

In the AI Era, we all use AI in our daily lives. Prompting is an efficient way of using AI like ChatGPT, Perplexity, and others. Today, I would like to share the “Power of Prompting” in this blog. But to know the power of prompting, I would like to share my story. How the Prompting should change my life.

As a small introduction, my name is Anand. I am a Front-End Developer, Tech & Finance Enthusiast and have a desire to work as an developer in Top IT company.

Where do I start???

Ok, I am pursuing my Higher Education in Government Aided School. A School filled with the teaching of discipline & education. Due to loosening of strict in school about language. I have no confidence in speaking in English. Even try to speak in English. We all know about the response of friends. How do they tease us?

Fast forward to 2022, I completed my schooling and joined BSc Computer Science. At that time, to be frank, I have no knowledge about tech, coding, hardware, and all. But I have that spark to learn. As we always know, the internet is filled with knowledge. But language is a big barrier to gaining knowledge.

Here is the intro of today’s AI war beginner or the reason for today’s AI war — ChatGPT. In November 2022, the ChatGPT was launched. Due to got an good roommates in my first year. I have know about the power of the internet. So, in that time, I gained the knowledge using only YouTube. Within one week of its release, I started using ChatGPT.

It helps to understand tech, education, and what I want using simple English or English filled with Grammar mistakes. After the lot of prompting I gained more knowledge about tech. Then move on to the courses in various platforms like Coursera, Udemy and other platform. Then move on to Blogs, Research Papers as little bit and more on.

Fast forward today, I have good foundational knowledge in various tech & finance. But the barrier of english and without knowledge of “How search anything in internet deeply?” are broken and the AI acts as good mentor.

Nowadays even though I have gain knowledge through various things from youtube, blogs, AI, research papers, books. This all begin from that. Because without that beginning, now I am nothing.

I think this blog is interesting in the way of denote the “Prompting & my life”. Stay tuned for my tech & finance blogs.

ChatGPT made a revolution in human life, it changed many of their lives. Two Months ago I saw a great example of it. Using ChatGPT & LinkedIn, businessman Iwan Richard — Founder & CEO of Reneonix should bring their business to the next level. To know more about their journey check the Being Scenius with Sriram Selvan Podcast the link is below 👇

ChatGPT also plays an important role in my learning journey. So, I like to write a blog about “The Evolution & Backclash of Developers Using ChatGPT”.

Note: Here I write the blog from my perspective, it may be changed for you.

What makes the 100 Million People use the ChatGPT actively in just two months after their launching?

Before the arrival of ChatGPT, the Internet plays a key role in learning anything. The process of visiting many websites and reading many things such as Blogs and articles is good for gaining knowledge. But it consumes more time and makes them tired. ChatGPT changes all things in time of arrival. It gives solutions for most things and explains easily in a way even understand by the children. But at the time of arrival, it does not give solutions for the present-day related questions. But that should be solved and made possible by using various methodologies and advancing the ChatGPT.

But only that reason for using ChatGPT by a million users?

No, ChatGPT has been used by various people for various things. Like learning anything as easily, drafting mail professionally, more and more. Due to the tuning of the AI Model as perfect, they should not answer for bad things. Such a question is related to do crimes. That sounds interesting, right? It has done all things as good with the restrictions of helping bad things. So, it’s good only.

To be frank no. But Why?

Because ChatGPT makes the work easy. For Developers, it gives the basic code and even gives good code then the beginner level developers. However, the developers need sufficient knowledge to explain that code and fix the bug given by ChatGPT. Even Foreign IT Companies are allowed to use ChatGPT and other AI for development. But they expect basic knowledge at the time of their entry into their company. They did not like to hire persons who just copied and pasted the code without the knowledge of how the coding works.

The problem arises for the beginners. One who starts using ChatGPT in their earlier stage is affected in two ways. First, they change them as lazy to code. Due to laziness after some time they struggle to code without ChatGPT. So, they also lose their confidence themself. Like “I Should not code as well or I am not a good developer” and due to laziness, they lose their problem-solving skills. Even the person who has good knowledge in the time of going to the companies for an interview, due to their high dependence on ChatGPT in time of practice, lacks code at the selection round. Second, in time of start learning no one is perfect. No one should develop a website like “Netflix” as straightly. But the ChatGPT had been done that. Here they imagine the AI should replicate the Developer's work as soon. Maybe it is possible but for that also need humans as a main player and just AI as a tool. Because it works by pre-training and scraping data from the web.

What is the Solution?

1. Using AI such as ChatGPT as a tool makes no trouble. However using that as an overload makes the developers lazy, which makes them lose their problem-solving skills.
2. Using ChatGPT at the time of beginning the journey in coding causes more trouble than expected. Why? Because it gives unnecessary thinking, does not help to gain knowledge & more. The Error makes the developer's life as good. So, trying to solve the error yourself in the beginning gives a healthy journey.

In conclusion using AI in development as a tool makes life as more easier, helps debug easily, and is enormously helpful usage. But using it over time gives only trouble.

Hi guys, Today’s topic feels like something straight out of a science fiction movie. But it has become a reality through the Elon Musk company “Neuralink”. Elon Musk is a person who thinks always differently. The different man thinks differently and achieves in different ways. Such one achievement is “Neuralink” the Brain Computer Interface alias “BCI”.

Neuralink is a neurotechnology company co-founded by Elon Musk in 2016. Guys, it’s neurotechnology not nanotechnology founded and used by Iron Man alias Tony Stark. Ok, jokes apart. The primary goal of the company is to create a direct communication pathway between the human brain and the computer to enhance human capabilities. As simply, Neuralink is a small, advanced chip designed to be implanted in the cerebrum of the human brain to give a pathway between the human brain and the computer via Bluetooth.

How do they implant the Chip in the Brain?

The humans made mistakes. But the mistake happened here it caused danger to the patient's life. So, for this, the company should specially develop and manufacture the machine called as R1 Robot. They hand over the overall operation as good. It is programmed perfectly for this surgery.

For more details about the Implantation of the Chip in the Brain Watch the below video 👇

How it works?

In the chip, there is an ultra-thin, flexible thread. There are 1024 threads and more in it to detect electrical signals generated by neurons. Here we all are doubting right “Why need to detect electrical signals generated by neurons?” Because neurons only transmit the data all over the human body. Like the Electrical Wire passing the current. When our brain says to walk the neurons transmit the data to the leg and it happens.

Did you know about AI in Neural Networks? It’s actually created with the inspiration of humans.

Then the electrical signals are sent to a chip. The chip processes the signals and converts them into digital data wirelessly transmitted to external devices via Bluetooth. This allows for bidirectional communication, where the brain can send signals to devices and receive input in return. The system uses advanced algorithms and machine learning to decode the neural data.

What is the use case?

There is an enormous use case for the neuralink. In the world, not everyone is born with perfect vision, speech, or physical abilities. Many individuals face challenges from birth, such as blindness, deafness, and paralysis. Even for some of them, it happened due to some accidents. Come on guys, try to feel that. How the pain it is? In just imagine, it is like hell, right? Because today we are not just ready to live without mobile phones. In this world, how does that feel for the people?

But it was corrected by the technology of neuralink. How?

By Neuralink, for blind people, the specialized camera acts as an Eye, for deaf people the external microphone acts as an Ear. Likewise, for all people who have problems in their body, it gives a solution for it.

Now many of them think, then how it is used for us. Just imagine guys, like in Hollywood movies the eye acts as a Camera, and when humans forget anything they recall by it. How the feels gives the secondary memory is not in the laptop or system. It’s in our brain. We save the details as per like we save the details in the various devices.

When you read it’s like a Sci-Fi Movie. But, it becomes a reality. Nowadays many of them fear AI and Humanoids have become like “TERMINATOR” movies in Humanoids. But it’s actually not possible. Because the person who is working on AI should learn first about the Ethical Concerns in AI. There is a standalone section or training about it. The AI should train in this manner only. It should not be trained in this manner. So don’t worry guys back to the topic.

Cons of Neuralink?

Now we see the dark side of neuralink. Every technology has a light and dark side, right? The best example of it is in our hands, the “Internet”. The Internet is a good tool to learn anything in the world. But it is also a bad tool to affect people. Likewise, Neuralink has had some dark side.

When we like to say that in a word it is “Safety, Privacy and Control”.

In the end, it’s a technology, right?

Every technology is hackable and vulnerable. Whether they hacked, after the chip integrated into your brain. We became the toy for the hackers. They do anything using us. Maybe it’s possible.

Then the next thing, it’s affects our privacy as easily.

Because the eye becomes a camera. Then they record all the things we see. It’s a thread, right? When the company is like to see any of the privacy it’s easily possible. Because the neuralink is not worked under a man. It’s worked by the whole company. So, it’s a big question mark for privacy?

Likewise, there are some problems with it.

I hope by the blog, I explain about Neuralink in a good manner.

Sometimes, the most unexpected paths lead to the most rewarding journeys. My adventure with Flutter in many ways a happy accident. In fact, my entire journey as a developer feels like one big, unplanned detour — an “accident” that turned into a passion. To be frank, I am not a wonderful developer. But I am also not bad at that. Actually, I spend my free time exploring different types of development like Flutter, Streamlit, Flask & More. But the flutter journey is different & crucial for me.

Like most students at the end of their undergraduate journey, I was required to secure an internship, a common expectation in colleges. While I had a foundation in development, I didn’t have any direct connections within the IT industry. Due to certain circumstances, I studying at a Tier 3 college in a rural area, despite performing well in my 12th-grade exams. So, I struggled to connect with others. To gain experience, I decided to look for internships online. However, what I found wasn’t exactly an internship — it was a paid skill development course in my point of view. The program consisted of one month of training followed by a month of project work. Even though it wasn’t an internship, I had to pay for the opportunity and I accepted it. Despite not being a traditional internship, the training provided valuable knowledge in Flutter. I learned a lot about flutter during the training days. I try out many small projects. Even though I practiced a lot, I struggled to develop the main project. According to the company, in the period of developing the app we need to develop the Mini Project as alone and the Major Project as a team.

My fellow team members and I had foundational knowledge, just like me. During that time, I came across an introduction to Namma Flutter. As a community member of FOSS, I reached out for help. That’s when I got introduced to Justin Bro, thanks to Hari Bro. Justin Bro introduced me to Namma Flutter, and I asked for help with an issue I was facing. Both Justin Bro and Vijay Bro kindly assisted me by explaining the problem. While it seemed like a simple explanation, I spent nearly five days trying to resolve the issue on my own but couldn’t make progress.

However, it was on that day that I managed to resolve the issue, thanks to the support of the community. The help I received from the community not only provided me with the knowledge but also connected me with others who guided me to the solution. This experience was a testament to the power of community, showing me how collaboration can lead to overcoming challenges and continuous learning.

After completing the project with my team and submitting it, I received a certificate to show at my college. Then after that, it gives some guilt. Like we had not completed an internship. It’s not a perfect internship, more and more. So, I start to explore LinkedIn and by Community. I did not get a good internship opportunity. Because I had not done the Internship in my domain. However, I got a true Internship as a Tech Research Intern and Machine Learning Intern. Side by side I learned more and more as possible like React, JSP, Servlet, JDBC, Spring, Spring Boot, and more to become a good Web Developer.

When compared to my knowledge of 2022, I am good. The community help me to resolve issues. Now I am developing the app for my College Hostel for taking Attendance. It’s given the feel like I dream it on. But in this project also the help of Justin Bro is a little bit.

As a blogger, I like to share my journey and for a beginner-level developer maybe it is a good showcase about “How Community helps to grow and solve issues?”

Thanks for spending time to read about my journey in Flutter and Namma Flutter.

Journey of the Stupid Explorer in Flutter & Namma Flutter was originally published in NammaFlutter on Medium, where people are continuing the conversation by highlighting and responding to this story.

In the vast world of web development, HTML (HyperText Markup Language) and CSS (Cascading Style Sheets) serve as the fundamental building blocks for creating websites. Why HTML and CSS are not replaceable?

Any idea about it?

Today in the blog we did not discuss the boring history of web development. We discuss why HTML and CSS are a base for web development. Even in advanced technologies Like React JS and Angular JS, the base is HTML and CSS. Come on guys, let’s take a dive.

As a small Intro, HTML is the backbone of any webpage. It provides the structure, content, and layout for web pages by using a set of predefined tags and elements. As simple it’s a Skeleton for the Webpage.

CSS controls the visual presentation of the HTML structure. It defines how the HTML elements should be styled, such as their colors, fonts, spacing, and layout. Here CSS is simply the Skin for Webpage.

Even with the advent of advanced frameworks like React.js, Vue.js, and Angular.js. HTML and CSS remain irreplaceable because these technologies operate on top of them. Every framework and library still relies on HTML for structure and CSS for styling. For example,

Normal HTML:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
    <meta charset="UTF-8">
    <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
    <title>HTML Example</title>
</head>
<body>
    <h1>Hello, World!</h1>
</body>
</html>

In React:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">

<head>
    <meta charset="UTF-8">
    <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
    <title>React Example</title>
    <script src="https://unpkg.com/react@17/umd/react.development.js"></script>
    <script src="https://unpkg.com/react-dom@17/umd/react-dom.development.js"></script>
    <script src="https://unpkg.com/@babel/standalone/babel.min.js"></script>
</head>

<body>
    <div id="root"></div>
    <script type="text/babel">
        const App = () => {
            return (
                <div>
                    <h1>Hello, World!</h1>
                </div>
            );
        };

        ReactDOM.render(<App />, document.getElementById('root'));
    </script>
</body>

</html>

Here you see guys, the React is written under the HTML. Why?

In the beginning stage of web development, they start with HTML and CSS only. Then, as it continued evolving, it became base and mandatory. So, only use any frameworks in any language.

Like

Python — Flask, Django

Java — Spring, Spring Boot

JavaScript — React JS, Angular JS.

They paired/collaborated with HTML and CSS.

Finally, I think we understand, that HTML and CSS will always remain the core of web development, no matter how advanced frameworks or libraries become. These foundational technologies are irreplaceable because they provide the structure and styling necessary for any web page. While tools like React, Angular, and Vue offer enhanced functionality and interactivity, they still rely on HTML for content structure and CSS for styling. As web technologies continue to evolve, HTML and CSS will adapt, but their fundamental role in web development will never change. So, mastering these technologies is essential for every web developer, as they are the building blocks that power the internet.

In the year 2000, the rate of milk per liter was ₹12 and the cylinder was ₹350. Fast-forward to today, the rate of milk is ₹60 and the cylinder is ₹950 and above.

Do you have any idea why this rate difference exists?

It’s called Inflation. Today, we discuss Inflation and the craziest hyperinflation. Come on guys, let’s dive into it.

I thought about this for many days. Why there are differences in the price of a product from each certain period? Then due to curiosity to understand this, I searched about it through the internet and also watched YouTube videos. It gives a broad view of inflation. It searched it over six or eight months ago, I think. But even at the age of 19, I don’t know about it before searching on the internet.

A few days ago, I raised a question about inflation to my mom. They also didn’t know about it. So, I decided to write this as a blog. Likewise, this idea begins to share about inflation as a blog.

As I said, inflation is nothing but a gradual increase in the prices of goods and services over time. There are many reasons why inflation occurs. From that, we see some of the reasons for the situation.

Demand over supply:

Our mother taught us these things from our childhood. Today, the rate of tomatoes is increasing due to yesterday’s heavy rain. Even the loss of a tomato due to that product need we ready to pay much more money. Did you notice, guys? Here, the need for a product is high. But the supply is low due to the loss of heavy tomatoes in yesterday’s rain. Here, due to the high demand rate, the price is increasing. So here, the inflation occurs.

Increase in Costs:

The next reason is the Increase in Costs. We all know about this thing guys, we daily hear about the news of war, right? Due to the war, the cost of oil has increased. This is also inflation, right guys? Even though the war happened a lot of distance away from us, it made an issue in our lives. It increases the price of Oil. It’s one example. Due to the hike in oil prices, the other goods prices also increased. Because all transportation of goods needs oil. So, in the end, all product prices should increase. I hope now you understand about Inflation.

But like Thalaivar said “Edhu summa trailer tha ma, nee ennum main picture pakkalaya”. Likewise, the other craziest thing is Hyperinflation.

Just imagine now you are going to the hotel and ordering a Briyani. The worth of Briyani at the time of order is 100. But after you had lunch in time to settle the amount, the worth of Briyani is 150.

How do we feel? Very bad, right? Ya.

Which is called Hyperinflation.

Whether in inflation, they increase gradually in the prices of goods and services over time. But in Hyperinflation, it takes some hours to see the price changes. Very crazy, right?
