Building Software isn't just your coding skills, or ability to solve problems as you go.
Most of what you do is
- debugging
- assembling parts together
Myths around the Job
- writing the most performant code
- most maintainable code ( Piece of art )
Don't get me wrong but all the above happens through iterations and experience.
so as a Junior/Mid-level you are expected to work on the first two parts, get the most out of them and master these skills.
To jump from Junior to mid is all about how quickly you are in doing the first two things.
so how to get quickly on doing these?
Just by iteration, facing new type of problems having a breadth of knowledge that allow you to get unblocked.
you will hear a lot about the word Blocked so take this as a matrics when you are creating a solution, how many blocked do you have and how much does it take to unblock yourself, work on these very effectively and compare them from time to another, see how your growth and how it works.
Open-source is a very helpful way to measure these metrics, as you work with a similar codebase that you might face in the company.
Just the beginning ☺️
We are now on,
A new domain with a new vision coming late this month.
winq.ing
After v1.6
enhanced the engine, no more calibration needed, it learns as you go with your mouse moves !!
and this is just 6h of usage
I switched windows 307 times this week just by looking, with Winq. Gaze focus for your Mac, fully on-device. winq.kroking.dev
winq.kroking.dev/?version=1.…
Winq is coming to make it hard not to be productive anymore
winq.kroking.dev
Try Winq
Winq V1.5 came out.
Most trackers make you fit them. Winq fits you.
Some people turn their head to everything. Others barely move it and let their eyes do the work.
So Winq doesn’t assume. While you calibrate, it measures which kind of looker you are, scores three tracking styles on fresh spots, and keeps the one that’s most accurate for you:
→ Pupils, most accurate — for people who look with their eyes
→ Head, then pupils — for head-turners; eye jitter can’t throw the point far
→ Head only, steady — for reflective glasses or dim light
Switch any time in Settings.
And next: Winq Intelligence. Winq already knows where you look. Soon it learns what you’re about to do — with small models that run on your Mac, like everything else.

One important part of Winq its engine
That I work on so hard to make the transition is most efficient as it could be.
Relying on a technology not built for this is a huge challenge.
Every signal every movment. Every learning curve is making winq better.
Winq get better when you use it more

Winq is making so much progress recently,
most of things you can see in 1.3v
- Tracking Engine became more mature and have some sort of reinforcement learning.
- Scroll with eyebrow clutch
- Calibration gots more better.
