Hey, I’m Saanvi 👋 This blog is mostly me talking to myself - trying to make sense of whatever I’m learning right now. It could be a bug I spent hours fixing, a concept that finally clicked, or just something cool I came across. Writing it down helps me remember, reflect, and sometimes even feel like I know what i’m doing. If you’re here and figuring things out too - welcome to the mess.
