Hey, I’m Dravid. 20 years old. Newbie dev.
But here’s the thing—I just did something that seemed impossible.
I gave up sugar for 150 days straight.
Yeah, you read that right. No candy, no sodas, no “just one bite” of cake at birthday parties. 150 days of saying no when everyone else said yes.
Why am I telling you this? Because if I can resist a chocolate bar calling my name at 2 AM for 150 days, I can definitely show up here every single day to share what I’m learning in code.
Here’s my deal with you:
The dev world is flooded with creators. I get it. Another 20-year-old talking about JavaScript? Really?
But here’s what makes me different—I don’t just talk about consistency. I prove it. That sugar challenge wasn’t just about health. It was about building the mental muscle to stick to commitments when no one’s watching.
So here’s what we’re building together:
- Raw, unfiltered learning journey (mistakes included)
- 1% better every day, no matter what
- Real projects, real struggles, real breakthroughs
- A community where newbies aren’t just welcomed—we’re celebrated
I’m not promising to be the smartest dev you follow. But I’m promising to be the most consistent one.
Ready to grow together?
Hit follow if you want to see what happens when someone who conquered 150 days without sugar decides to conquer code.
Let’s make small stories into big victories. 
Day 1 of sharing starts now.
