ankit1911··on Ask HN: How do you spend your evenings?
I reach home somewhere around 7.

Finish my dinner by 7:30

Fool around for next 30 mins.

At 8 I start coding.

I am a newbie developer, I have many things to learn before I can work on a project that really matters. So, most of my coding time is spent learning new things like C Socket programming, iOS development, etc

ankit1911··on Ask HN: How did you deal with depression?
I have been dealing with thing since 8 years now. I have tried to escape this with drugs/alcohol but that won't help. I can tell you everything that I've done but that won't be of any help to you.

What I think is, there is no hard coded way to deal with this issue. Understand your situation and keep fighting and there will come a time when something will push you over the brink. Honestly, if you ask me I really don't know what thing in particular helped me curb my depression, things started to change over time.

However, eating healthy food, reading books and exercise is a must.

Thank you very much for your time & effort. Appreciate it.
ankit1911··on Ask HN: When you don't understand a concept, what do you do?
When I don't understand a concept, I go back to the last milestone and try to understand it. After doing that a few times if I am still not clear with it then I jump to the very beginning and try to grasp it(I do this because chances are that I may not have understood a few concept along the line). By this point, I still may not understand the concept but I would definitely know when can I understand it(i.e. the prerequisites to understand this) so I move forward and when the time is correct I would jump back to this topic.
