
In life and work, we all run into arguments—some with people close to us, others in a professional setting. I’ve had my share of both. At first, I treated every debate as something to win. But over time, I learned that losing an argument doesn’t mean actual loss; in fact, it can be the key to finding the right answers.

## Personal Experience: Debating with Someone Close

There was a time when I had a heated debate with someone I deeply cared about. I was convinced I was right, but no matter how much I argued, I couldn’t get them to see my side. The more I pushed, the more I realized I wasn’t really trying to understand them—I just wanted to be "right."

When I finally said, "Alright, maybe I’m wrong—explain your side again," everything shifted. That moment of letting go of my ego allowed me to actually hear them. Turns out, I *was* wrong. But more importantly, I gained a better understanding of them, which was far more valuable than proving a point.

## Workplace Reality: Admitting Mistakes

In a work setting, I once insisted on approaching a task a certain way, convinced it was the best method. A coworker challenged my approach, and instead of considering their viewpoint, I initially pushed back. The discussion dragged on until I finally stepped back and admitted, "Maybe I’m wrong. Let's test your way."

It turned out their method worked better. If I had clung to my pride, we would have wasted time and effort. By admitting the possibility of being wrong, we found the best solution faster. 

## The Lesson: Put Faith in Truth, Not Ego

Saying "I'm wrong" doesn’t make you weak—it makes you better. Whether with people you trust or those you don’t, being open to the possibility of being wrong is how you get to the truth. In the long run, it saves time, strengthens relationships, and gets you closer to what you’re really looking for.

So, next time you find yourself in an argument, ask yourself: Do you want to win, or do you want to *know*? 

Because the two are not the same.

Losing an Argument Isn't Really Losing


I’ve always enjoyed tinkering with code to solve my own problems. While playing **Sunflower Land**, a web-based game, I found myself wanting a more efficient way to handle certain tasks. That’s where my journey into creating a Chrome extension began—what started as a simple script for personal use eventually became a published tool used by hundreds.

## The Beginning: Solving My Own Problem

At first, I wrote small scripts to automate repetitive tasks in the game. These scripts weren’t anything fancy, just simple automations to make my life easier. Soon, I realized that instead of running scripts manually, I could package them into a Chrome extension for a smoother experience.

## Improving the Extension: Better UI and Functionality

As I used my own tool, I kept refining it. I improved the buttons, made the functionality clearer, and ensured everything worked as smoothly as possible. Even though progress was slow—sometimes I had time to work on it, sometimes I didn’t—I kept pushing forward whenever I could.

## The Decision to Publish

One day, I decided I wanted to take it a step further. I didn’t just want this extension for myself—I wanted to officially publish something I had built. It wasn’t about making money or gaining recognition; it was about putting something out there that others could use. After going through Chrome Web Store’s review process, my extension was finally live.

## Where It Is Now

As of now, my extension, **Sunflower Land Farm Helper**, has over a hundred users. It’s available here:

- [Website](https://sunflower-land-helper.jovylle.com/)
- [Chrome Web Store](https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/sunflower-land-farm-helpe/innimeplbaacgjbdpohblfgamoheoihi)

It’s not perfect, and there’s still a lot I can improve, but seeing real users benefit from something I built is a great feeling. 

## Lessons Learned

- **Solve your own problems first.** The best projects often come from personal needs.
- **Small progress is still progress.** Even if you only work on it occasionally, you’ll get there.
- **Publishing is worth it.** Putting your work out there, no matter how small, is a great step in growth as a developer.

This experience taught me that it’s okay to build something just for yourself at first, but sharing it with the world can be even more rewarding. And this is just the beginning.



Building My First Chrome Extension: From Personal Tool to Public Release


Sometimes you call for your cat—not loudly, just enough for them to hear. Maybe they come, maybe they don’t. Either way, you find yourself going to them, giving a gentle pat, filling their bowl, or just sitting nearby.

Would it be the same with people? Somehow, it feels harder—messier in ways you can’t quite explain. And still, you wonder why.


A Care That Asks for Nothing


The energy in the room was electric—developers, tech enthusiasts, and innovators all gathered under one roof for DevFest. With engaging talks, collaborative sessions, and the buzz of new ideas floating in the air, the event was a testament to the power of community and creativity.  

The vibrant setup and eager participants turned this into more than just a conference—it became a hub for inspiration, connections, and possibilities. Whether it was exchanging ideas or just soaking in the energy, it was an experience worth every moment.


The Hum of Ideas


Strolling through this vibrant garden feels like stepping into a living painting. The rows of meticulously arranged flowers and plants create a stunning patchwork of colors, set against the serene backdrop of lush greenery and distant mountains.

It’s more than just a place to admire—this garden invites you to slow down, breathe in the fresh air, and take in the harmony of nature. A perfect spot to reconnect with the simplicity and beauty of the outdoors.








A Tapestry of Nature's Beauty

Simplicity meets functionality—this is my minimalist workspace. With a dual-screen setup, a sleek Logitech keyboard and mouse combo, and a warm cup of coffee by my side, it’s the perfect environment for productivity. Whether coding, browsing, or brainstorming, this setup keeps distractions at bay and creativity flowing.
