Why I’m Starting Over After 3 Years in Tech

-

šŸ§© Introduction

There’s a moment in every developer’s life when you pause… and wonder:
“Is this really what I wanted?”

I hit that moment after spending over 3 years in tech.
Working on OTT platforms, video apps, and React Native codebases — every day started to feel the same.
The growth slowed. The spark faded. The code felt heavier than usual.

šŸ” The Burnout I Didn't See Coming

At first, I thought it was just a phase.
You know — the usual stress, late nights, aggressive deadlines. But something felt deeper.

It wasn’t about the job.
It was the repetition, the lack of creativity, the feeling that I was building someone else’s dream… every single day.

I wasn’t learning.
I wasn’t building anything of my own.
I had simply become a silent executor.

šŸ’­ The Question That Changed Everything

So one night, I asked myself:

“If I had to start from scratch, what would I create?”

The answer wasn’t a flashy startup or a killer app.
It was simple:

“I’d write again. I’d share. I’d build in public. I’d create for myself.”

Because long before I was a developer…
I was a thinker. A writer. A quiet observer with stories to tell.

šŸš€ Why I’m Starting Over

I’m not quitting tech.
I’m not running away from code.
I’m reclaiming it — on my own terms.

This blog, Write Code, Write Life, is my space to:

  • Reflect on burnout, growth, and learning

  • Share raw stories from the trenches

  • Rebuild creativity through writing

  • Connect with others who feel the same

šŸ“š What to Expect Here

  • Honest developer stories — not LinkedIn fluff

  • Notes from my dev journey — tools, mindset, rebuilds

  • Creative experiments — projects, writing, minimalism

  • Most of all, real talk from someone still figuring it out

šŸ™Œ A Quiet Beginning

If you’ve ever felt like you’re stuck in a loop…
If you’ve ever wanted to hit “restart”...
If you believe that growth isn’t just vertical — but inward…

Then welcome. You’ll feel at home here.

This is me, starting over.
One line of code. One line of life. At a time.

— The Quiet Coder

Electrical grids, traffic lights, highway signs, air-traffic control, and even hospital networks—they're the large-scale operating systems we rely on to make our lives easier and better. And believe it or not, they're all connected to the Internet. These web-connected systems are so diverse in what they do, they fall into a very nondescript category called the "Internet of Things" (IoT). You might have heard of IoT. It's the same term thrown around to describe those cool gadgets that help us track our fitness, drive our cars, share our photos, stream our music, and check our email from almost anywhere. Chances are, no matter what you've done today, you've taken advantage of some device or system connected to the worldwide "web" of the Internet of Things. However, despite IoT's promising future, it has one very serious setback: it's vulnerable to attack. As much as 70 percent of IoT devices contain security flaws, which means that billions...

Difference between HTML and HTTP

Many folks get confused between these two terms which are associated with the Web. Are they really same? First thing first. HTML is a Language while HTTP is a Protocol. Doesn’t make much sense..? it’s okay! We’ll discuss it in more detail. HTML ( H yper t ext  M arkup  L anguage) is a language for marking the normal text so that it gets converted into hypertext. Again, not so clear. Basically, HTML tags (e.g. “<head>”, “<body>” etc.) are used to  tag  or  mark  normal text so that it becomes hypertext and several hypertext pages can be interlinked with each other resulting in the Web. Please note that the HTML tags are used to help render web pages as well in the Browser. On the contrary, HTTP ( H yper t ext  T ransfer  P rotocol) is a protocol for transferring the hypertext pages from Web Server to Web Browser. For exchanging web pages between Server and Browser, an HTTP session is setup using protocol methods (e.g. G...

Having taken over our daily communications almost entirely, the web is constantly evolving and expanding. With this continuous expansion, it provides you with more and more data which you consume daily. However, all the information that appears on the web, every like, subscription, tweet, downloaded video or uploaded vlog, making all of this possible requires a highly sophisticated computational process working behind it, constantly. The smooth functioning of the web has more to it than just the computational procedure. Current web services operate through a solid and intricate network of RAM, containers, database engines as well as machine learning skills. Importance Of Cloud Technology Due to continuous technological growth and advancements, the demand for cloud computing services is increasing, too. It has become essential for individuals and businesses to have a better storage space with increased security and faster service. There is no doubt about the fact that Goog...
