Hey developers 👋
This Sunday, I swapped my code editor for a pair of gardening gloves! Lately, I’ve been sowing winter flower seeds, visiting nurseries for bright seasonal plants, and turning my porch and terrace into a little world of color. With green mountains and trees surrounding my home, the view feels like a living color palette — soft, balanced, and full of inspiration. 🌸
Gardening has a funny way of reminding me of UI design. Arranging plants makes me think about layout, contrast, and visual balance, almost like styling components in React or picking the perfect color combinations in CSS. 🌼
Every pot, every bloom, and every light I hang for Diwali brings the same satisfaction as refining a clean, responsive design. It’s creative problem solving, just in a different medium.
I’ve realized that stepping away from the laptop isn’t a break from creativity; it’s part of it. Watching something grow slowly reminds me that building products and developing skills takes the same care and patience.
Do you have a creative ritual outside of coding that fuels your ideas? Maybe it’s art, cooking, music, or gardening like me. I’d love to hear what helps you stay inspired beyond the screen. 🌱
Here’s to nurturing our code, our creativity, and our calm, one plant and one project at a time. 💻🌿
