I used to get frustrated by the world’s chaos—people making the same mistakes, society’s expectations, and the noise that felt impossible to escape. But I’ve realized the noise isn’t something to block or fight. It’s part of life. This is my reflection on embracing the absurdity around me, accepting what I can’t control, and finding authenticity in the middle of it all.

This blog captures my personal thoughts on the future of software engineering and AI’s growing complexity. I believe we’re heading toward a world where software engineering becomes less about writing code and more about managing AI-driven workflows. AI itself could evolve into a field as complex and exclusive as quantum physics, with only a few able to truly understand it. These are just my speculations—optimistic, biased, and skipping the negatives for now—but I wanted to reflect on what this could mean for human curiosity and discovery.

Life doesn’t promise anything…your job, your health, even your relationships. We hope things will work out, but hope can feel fragile, and not everyone is wired for it. Wonder, though, is different.

Wonder doesn’t rely on guarantees; it thrives in uncertainty and drives us to explore and grow, making it stronger and more real than hope.

To anyone feeling like they’re falling behind: you’re not alone. Watching others move forward can be overwhelming, but maybe your journey isn’t meant to follow theirs. Life isn’t about ticking boxes; it’s about finding meaning in your own way and time. This is a reminder that your path, with all its twists and turns, is uniquely yours, and one day, it will feel worth it.

I’ve spent years untangling my perfectionism, how it pushes me forward but also holds me back.

If you’ve ever felt the weight of ‘not good enough,’ this is for you.
