--> I'm hiring designers and devs who've worked on amazing things. Shoot me a DM if you feel confident--> I'm also new to SF and looking for misfit, creative friends following their curiosities :) As for my story, it all began when lil Tejas decided to pick up C++ at 10 years old.He was addicted to online RPG games, and would spend hours each day doing the same repetitive actions for in-game pixels. After two months of intense grinding, he had finally unlocked the new character. The kiddo was gigglin and dancin, the smile on his face! ...Until his account suddenly got banned. Poof. Just like that. Without the onset of puberty, this one already had a dreadful existentialist crisis. His digital life was all he had. His family would make him change schools every year, traveling from city to city, country to country. He had a rare bleeding disorder that lowered his confidence in many activities, and the cost of medicine back then was unimaginable. All he had done was use video games as an escape, what now?He knew he had to be addicted to his laptop, but he had to find a long-term way of doing this. That's when he decided to use the critical thinking they kept touting in school so much. He finally started to understand what he was missing. The biggest and coolest game ever, but one no one his age seemed to play.This game would still take place on his beat-up laptop, and he had to download and install random things from tutorials scattered across YouTube. Sometimes, he'd have to hobble over to the public library and demand to borrow books from the high shelves. For sure, this was much harder than his old games, but that made it all the more fun. Besides, no limits bounded him here. Ue could build whatever the fu-er- fudge he wanted to.--Timelapse forward, lil Tejas has transformed into me. My journey has led me to build products used by millions of people. In the beginning, things weren't easy, and I built a lot of useless garbage. I made extremely cringey decisions, but I never gave up. I kept pushing, learning, executing, and repeating.Now I'm excited to keep on building more and more advanced things and enjoy this divine play — this Sanskrit lila of mine.
