sagunsh··on Ask HN: If you could start your career all over again, what would you change?
I would love to be a professional chess player. I have been playing chess since I was 10. I have always been good at problem solving and maths. I didn't took chess seriously as I didn't see anyone playing it to earn a living, I didn't even know something like that exists.

Later in college, I won back to back chess tournament and with just a few days of practice. That's when I realized I might had a chance have I taken chess seriously since my early days in school.

sagunsh··on Finishing a side project
I started a lot of side projects like many and didn't finish most. For me the secret of finishing a side project was to start a small one, something that I can finish within a weekend or even less, a few hours.

My completed side projects have been the one that took me less than a week. Some of them was less than 100 lines of code.

Thanks for the feedback. I don't have much experience with CSS prior to this project so tried to make it as simple as possible.

sagunsh··on Ask HN: How to learn to create/draw mental models for programming?
When I was a junior, I had similar problems. I can think of ideas, even solve problems and fix bug but when it comes to building something bigger, I was afraid. My problem the entire time was if soemthing goes horribly wrong. What if the data we are collecting is not stored? What if the code I am pushing is not properly documented? For me it was the fear of making mistake.

In case of simple bug fixes and minor feature addition, my supervisor would be checking everything so I didn't have to worry. For builidng something bigger, no one would be checking everything line by line. I was own my own and afraid to push my code. My team helped me overcome that fear by showing it's okat to make mistakes and nothing happens if you do that. Make mistake, test code, fix bug... it is an iterative process and nothing to worry.

sagunsh··on Leaked documents expose Avast antivirus subsidiary selling web browsing data
I don't use any antivirus software now a days. They basically seems to slow down the computer (I am not quite sure about this) but here I got one more reason not to use one. I guess qindows defender is okay and sufficient for most of the cases and you can always switch to Linux.
