A common question I ask folks in my college who are in third and fourth year is: "You are a computer science engineer, but what have you engineered in the last four years that you can show to the world?" DSA is not engineering, and it's meant only as a precursor for cracking interviews in big tech. Sure, being a computer science engineer, you can solve LeetCode, you can do Codeforces, that shows that you have knowledge of how logic works in computer science, but what can you engineer? You have the ability to take up any random topic, spend a few hours on it, and get a proper understanding of it. Can you solve any problem statement given to you by whatever means required? When faced with a problem, do you think in more than one way about how you should approach it?
The saddest part is the last line - "I can do DSA." But can you engineer something on your own?

i dont think its insomnia. i think its just the fact that i woke up at 5 30pm tomorrow after sleeping at around 8 30am, and practically did nothing very exhausting the entire day (legit just went to the gym, had dinner, did some work, and thats it) we're good

i also tried doing a banded one arm pullup, but i couldnt get myself off the bottom 💔 maybe shouldve done the attempts before the weighted pullups but anyway, we keep fucking around :)
okay so as it turns out, my endurance and work capacity have gone up a lot, because of which my maximal strength as a whole has dropped (so ive lost the practice of lifting stuff for less than 1 to 3 reps) whatever. loads of room for strength, and next cycle will be the best case for it 2 weeks deload now (1 week proper deload, and 1 week back at home ^^)

and then there's people who are still living in 2025, always arguing that whatever code LLMs write to this day is entirely slop but go back 10 years and take a look at codebases from then and youll see the difference
No human will ever write code better than LLMs. Accept this fact, stop pretending, and move on.
