The Dev
Notebook
Blogs on books, habits, and the adventurous journey of a developer who wants to become better eachday.
I'm Yash, a student and a lifelong learner in progress. This is where I write down what I'm learning about life, focus, books and myself. Curating thoughts and experiences in a notebook, for myself and anyone else who might find them useful.

About
the person holding the pencilI'm Yash, a student who is always halfway through something. I am a passionate Game Developer, but outside development, I read self-help books the way some people collect keys, hoping one of them finally opens the door to a better version of me. Atomic Habits, The 5 AM Club, The Power of Habit, The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People, and a few more I'd have to dig out. The funny part is that I can explain what every one of them says. Knowing and doing, it turns out, are two very different subjects.
I'm an introvert who loves being alone, but I still need a few people in the room somewhere during the day. I want to do more of everything: more learning, more projects, more effort. Yet my perfectionism keeps quietly stealing the hours I'm trying to save. I track my expenses, my screen time, my schedules and my thoughts, which makes me a very organised person with a very unfinished to-do list. I don't just want to know a thing, I want to go all the way down into it. Psychology, philosophy and the questions that don't have exam answers keep pulling me in.
I don't enjoy writing. Assignments and papers are a fight every time. And yet I've kept paper journals on and off for a year or two, losing consistency, finding it again, losing it again. Typing never felt the same, but life got busy and the notebook kept getting skipped. So this is my attempt to make the mess readable: a place for future me to look back, and for you, if a line here happens to help. Why does someone who dislikes writing keep coming back to it? I'm still working on that answer. Oh, and yes, I make games too. But that's a story for another page.
