The central processing unit (CPU) is the main component responsible for executing instructions and performing logical operations in a digital computer. It translates software commands into hardware actions, linking abstract program logic with physical electronic processes.

A Turing machine is a mathematical model of computation that provides a formal framework for understanding how algorithms and computers operate.

From ancient military strategies to modern digital communication, cryptography has always played a vital role in keeping information safe. At its core, cryptography is the science of protecting messages so that only the intended recipient can understand them. It ensures confidentiality, integrity, and authenticity- the pillars of secure communication.

A passage from my favorite novel, No Longer Human

An ORM (Object-Relational Mapper) is a tool and programming technique that connects object-oriented programming (OOP) languages with relational databases. Instead of writing raw SQL queries, developers can use objects and classes from their application to interact with the database. The ORM automatically translates these operations into SQL and then converts the database results back into objects.

Prisma is a modern ORM (Object Relational Mapper) for Node.js and TypeScript applications. It helps developers interact with databases using clean and type-safe code instead of writing raw SQL queries. Prisma supports databases like PostgreSQL, MySQL, SQLite, SQL Server, and MongoDB.

My favorite part from the radio show, Dangerously Yours

An exaggerated sense of self-worth where a person believes they are omnipotent, morally perfect, or intellectually superior

Small habits can make a big difference because they compound over time, leading to significant long-term results. At first, the progress isn't really noticeable but over time, these small improvements compound and results in big.

Cue, Craving, Response and Reward. These 4 steps are the backbone of a habit.

The habit loop explains how habits are formed and sustained. It consists of four steps: cue, craving, response, and reward.
