“You either binge-watch another show… or you build your future.”

Hey Dev.to fam 👋,

I’m Mishu, a beginner web developer & tech content creator currently diving into Full Stack Web Development and AI/ML in 2025.

Here’s why I made this leap 👇


🚀 Why I Ditched Netflix

Sometime around early 2025, I realized scrolling endlessly and binge-watching wasn’t gonna build the life I wanted. I needed focus. So I paused the distractions and went all in on:

  • 🔧 Full Stack Web Dev – HTML, CSS, JS, React, Node.js, MongoDB
  • 🤖 AI/ML – Python, NumPy, Pandas, Sklearn
  • 💻 Real-world Projects
  • 📹 Creating content on YouTube & Hashnode

🛠️ My Stack So Far

  • Frontend: HTML, CSS, JavaScript, React
  • Backend: Node.js, Express.js, MongoDB
  • AI/ML: Python, NumPy, Pandas, Scikit-Learn
  • Tools: Git, GitHub, VS Code, Canva, Figma

I’m building in public and sharing everything — wins, mistakes, late-night bugs, all of it.


✍️ What’s Next?

  • Publishing blog posts on Hashnode
  • Creating tutorials and shorts on YouTube
  • Collaborating with other beginner devs
  • Staying consistent and shipping content

📣 Let’s Connect

If you’re learning dev too or want to collaborate:

Let’s build together 🚀
