Few interesting things about me:
I used to do something very similar when I was learning CSS! Great work Sreekesh Iyer. 🙌
If I may ask, why are you a big advocate of plain CSS instead of frameworks?
Means a lot coming from you, Eleftheria. Thanks!
I don't hate frameworks, I've used tailwind in a lot of my projects because it gets things done quicker. I also like tailwind because it's low level, so the closest to actual CSS, so you get a ton of customisation.
I like to use plain CSS because I get to control the design of a website, which makes it look unique. When you use a framework for a long time, things start to get repetitive. For instance, I've seen the standard Bootstrap navbar in numerous ocassions, which doesn't look great.
Frameworks are great until they start restricting your vision :)
Congratulations on your work! Never imagined that IG has a connection with TechWorld, I need to explore this area in IG.Thanks for the motivation.
Thank you. I'm glad it sent the right message.
If you’re new to machine learning, reinforcement learning, especially, then it’s completely okay to have a hard time understanding these fancy jargons in front of you. Here’s my attempt to simplify these while we work on a little robo-car :) About AW...

I was recently a part of a hackathon and was found searching for good Jupyter environments on the cloud to be able to work on my ML Project. Soon enough, I found myself here. However, it took me a while to figure out how powerful it truly can be. F...
I spend 5 days out of a week coding for work, so I'm definitely not motivated to code a lot on weekends. This means that I do not have any software development tools installed on my personal machine. Not even IDEs. However, being the curious little g...
Almost a week to this and not a lot of drama on Indian Twitter, so I thought I could write about it. TLDR: Malicious code with a backdoor was added to one of the core packages of Linux affecting almost all Debian and Redhat distros; was later discove...
I've been an advocate of using plain CSS in web applications instead of using frameworks like Bootstrap. But it meant that I needed to be good at CSS in the first place.
People have been using Instagram to scroll through entertainment for ages, but in June last year, I found something interesting I could use to become good at CSS.
I didn't learn CSS from Instagram 😂 that'd be extreme.
I learned HTML and CSS from this Udemy course created by Brad Traversy.
About Brad, he's one of the most inspirational people I've seen on the internet, apart from such a great instructor that he is. He makes every concept simple and easy to understand. If you're new to web development, I'd highly recommend you to get this course.
Earlier in 2021, I started following a few tech accounts on Instagram. After that, I found some UI-UX-related posts on Instagram in my Explore Feed.
Looking at one of them, I thought that I could code this. I know what it looks like, so it would not take long to get it up on a Browser.
uxbrainy and orizon.design are some of the accounts I'd recommend you check out.
What you see in the image above is the list of posts I saved on Instagram to further use as inspirations to code CSS.
I downloaded this image on my computer and kept it as a reference. After that, I opened VSCode and started coding.
My only aim was to make the result look the same as the image I was referring to.
You can find this project in my GitHub Repository here.
Once I finished coding work, I shared the results on Instagram. Here are some of them.
As guilty as I am of scrolling mindlessly on Instagram every day, I think I made some efficient use of it back in the day to ensure it helped me improve as a developer.
Even today, not just for UI, I keep saving some informative posts on Instagram that I feel might be useful going forward.
It's not about the platform but how we use it in our lives. We have similar use cases for Twitter and even TikTok. What matters here is the right attitude.
I feel good when I look back at those days because these are the little improvements and mindset changes that made me the developer I am today. I hope this little story inspires people to use different platforms in possibly unconventional ways to help them improve at what they do best.
