Inspecting hard-to-get elements in the DOM

Image
Today I learned how to inspect hard-to-get elements in the DOM, you know, the ones that you open but close as soon as you try to inspect them. I used a simple CSS trick in the console So what you basically do is that you go into the console, you set a delay timer and then run the debugger. Before the debugger starts you open the elements that e.g in my case it was a dropdown and then you wait for the debugger to pause your screen The command is  setTimeout(() => {debugger;},3000) Whats happening here? We are essentially  A. running the debugger   B. Adding a wait timer before the debugger is launched, in this case of 3 seconds Step 1. run command in console  Step 2. open the view you want  Step 3. wait for DOM to freeze and then inspect elements accordingly  This just freezes the DOM essentially, it currently works for Chrome, it should also work on other browsers #SWE #FE

Do I actually persist?

We often think things are happening to us and only us. We forget that the world is billions of years old, that we walk on the footprints of trillions that have come before us. 

A close friend of mine recently got waitlisted for a much awaited scholarship, she immediately lost all hope, and started thinking this is it. This is what my life is. All this happens to me. Im not destined for success. The universe hates me

She didn't say this to me directly but I could feel it through her conversation and through her actions. I sat down with her and decided to research a little bit on what options she had while waiting for the reserve list to come out

In only a few google searches, it became evident that there were people who had the girt and the tenacity to continue down the road of pursuing the same prestigious scholarship for three years or more. 

What stood out to me as I read those accounts from other scholars was how disheartened even I had felt when I heard about my friends reserve decision. Why do we not persist? Why do we not have girt? I realize that life is a pandoras box and that the future is schrodinger's cat personified. We don't know whats going to happen, or even if it will happen, but why is it so scary to imagine that things will turn out for the better if we continue down the path of consistency

Is it because we as humans are designed by God to save energy, so any effort that we are putting in that seems to lead nowhere irritates us to no end. I cant recall the study, but there was one where patients were driven mad because they were given tasks to do that had seemingly no purpose. Maybe that explains our inability to put effort into the void that is the future

Something has to give here. We should be more mentally resilient as people because that's whats required of us in this life. We cant give up this easily. There has to be more to it for the things that are important to us 

One of my aims in life is to be the mentally, the toughest person I know. (It sounds cheesy but still ) Maybe this is why this incident bothers me so much

But what I do know is this, in the game of life, everyone would prefer to have a delusional mentally tough self-believing striker on their team then have someone who's laid back and approaches life passively 

The question is, which one are you? Which one am I.

Starting with Zero

One impactful life lesson I've learned over the course of my short practical life, is that having a skill set is of the utmost importance. A lot of people tend to overlook that, specially in Pakistan, where the predominant culture of "One head feeds the entire family" still reigns to this day.  But first lets talk about why having a skill set is important:  1. You become less replaceable 2. If you've spent enough time, chances are there are only a handful of people that can do what you do  3. You can teach that skill to others as well so that you can earn money off of them  From the top of my head these are the things that I can think about. I have currently decided to launch an apparel brand, and will most likely make it a long term project that I will take side by side. My current aims are to learn about running an apparel business and the processes involved in building, sustaining and growing a brand. Ill keep you all posted  - M

Learnings - From working in a SaaS corporate to SaaS start-up

  As the title suggests, I thought I'd do a post on how working at a start up vs working at a corporate Job has been for me as an on-again-off-again entrepreneur, and what I would do differently based on what Ive learned, should I start a start up again A bit of backstory for context: I have an engineering background but began my career in sales Here are some stats for comparison (these will be important for later) Company Founded   No of Investors Employee Size Industry ARR (USD) Ops From CEO https://gomotive.com/ 2013 35-40 4500 + Transport Hardware + Software $190-220 Million USA/Mex/Pak/Ind https://www.linkedin.com/in/smakani/ https://jibble.io/ 2016 2-4 80 + HR Software $2-4 Million UK/USA https://uk.linkedin.com/in/asimq I've worked at both places in for a comparable amount of time in adjacent enough roles, and since the companies are similar in that they are spearheaded by leaders of similar origin/education and both work in SaaS, I

Are traditional business worth starting?

When you think about spending your free time, how do you imagine it?  A movie with your S/O, a night out with your friends or maybe a get together with your close family. For most of us, the above listed things are pretty normal, but for someone that wants to achieve a lot in life (for whatever reason), the above is a luxury they cannot afford untill a certain milestone has been reached.  Admittedly, what I wrote above is cliche and may already have been proven to be a negative consequence of the "hustle culture" which is being perpepuated in our society presently, yet it holds true for the ultra-achievers: the tech bosses, the giants of commerce and trade, the gatekeepers of the world's data and future colonizers of mars.  Taking one look at the most prominent names in the world in terms of net worth, and we see a pattern: tech giants have come to dominate the globe in terms of business. This is mainly due to the fact that most of their "raw material" is depend
