#writings #rant Waves I never touched🌊

I read something along the lines of "The water doesn't get warm just because you jumped in late." and I thought about all the moments of hesitation and the pep talks I gave myself throughout the years. The time I spent readjusting, overthinking... procrastinating, maybe if I added them together, they would make up a year. A year spent, lost making myself believe i can, instead of simply doing. As a kid, I loved the water. Cold was shock, hot was pain, but still, I loved it nonetheless. Then I discovered drowning and fear. I rehearse how I would swim just in case I might drown. I swam a hundred times without ever touching the water. I keep telling myself, "I'm just thinking," over thinking as if a thought alone could bend time. I plan every scenario, versions of myself I never met, then I call it preparation. And on top of that, it's cold. My fear settles in, whispering, "Is it a must for you to swim?" This is not about public pools and water for those who understand. Its about the way my hesitation became my ocean; an ocean so vast, i swam to its depth. I became great at overanalyzing everything but doing none. And maybe that’s the cruelest trick of all , I trained myself to swim in imagined waters rehearsed every stroke, every breath but never touched the surface. The ocean I built was not made of waves but of delays, not salt but doubt. I drowned in the versions of myself I never let live.

"The water doesn't get warm just because you jumped in late."

What a great writing 👌

This week I’m diving into prompt engineering and sharing what I learn daily. Today’s quick takeaway: LLMs work like this → Input → probability → output → repeat Tokens = small chunks of text (not full words) And yeah… I just realized something important 👇 It’s not just input tokens that count. There are TWO types: - Input tokens → what you send (your prompt, chat history, system instructions) - Output tokens → what the AI generates You pay for BOTH. Prompting tip: Less fluff, more signal. - Be direct (“Explain simply”) - Limit output (“<50 words”) - Summarize context - Use structure (bullets, labels) Basically, LLMs read tokens, use attention to understand them, then generate new tokens one by one. I used to think only input tokens mattered… yeah, not anymore 😅 #learning #LLM #promptengineering

Let's make our day productive 💪

Living alone is fun until you get sick 🤧 Oh, good lord I need my mum 😢

Dear gunfan Please I can't afford to be sick rn 🤧

Hiring manager: “Don’t worry about the salary you’re young. This is a great place to learn.” Salary: not even enough to cover your rent 😬

I believe we should pay attention to ourselves when people say something whether it’s good or bad because there’s always a small part of us that we can’t see, but others can. So observing our environment and being open to feedback can help us improve our behavior. That said, it doesn’t mean we should change our values or who we are every time someone says something about us. Personally, I try to keep improving myself by observing both my surroundings and how people react to me. If there’s something people consistently dislike, I reflect on it and see if it’s worth changing. After all, since we live with others, being someone who’s easy and positive to be around is not just good for them it benefits me too. #my_thoughts
