The Beginning of Something New

🌱 The Beginning of Something New

Hey, I’m Arghya — and welcome to my blog!

This space has been on my mind for a while now. After countless hours of designing interfaces, writing code, breaking things (and fixing them), I figured it’s time to start documenting the journey. Not just for others — but also for myself.

🎯 Why I’m Writing

As developers and designers, we’re constantly learning. Every bug, breakthrough, and build teaches us something. This blog is where I’ll share:

• Things I learn (and unlearn) along the way
• Thoughts on tech, design, and product thinking
• Experiments, ideas, and lessons from shipping
• Occasional notes on mindset, habits, and growth

🔍 What You Can Expect

This won’t be a typical “how-to” blog — though there’ll be practical guides. It’s a mix of reflections, resources, and raw notes. Think of it like a personal journal made public — where I learn in the open, and hopefully help someone else along the way.

🫱 Let’s Connect

Whether you’re here to read, learn, or just passing by — thanks for stopping. I’d love to hear your thoughts, stories, or just a “hi.”

Here’s to writing more, building better, and learning together.

javascript
// 1. Define a list of items using 'const' for fixed references
const products = [
  { name: 'Laptop', price: 1200, category: 'Electronics' },
  { name: 'Coffee Mug', price: 15, category: 'Home' },
  { name: 'Headphones', price: 100, category: 'Electronics' },
  { name: 'Notebook', price: 5, category: 'Stationery' }
];

// 2. Use an arrow function and .filter() to find specific items
const electronics = products.filter(item => item.category === 'Electronics');

// 3. Use .map() to create a list of descriptions
const descriptions = electronics.map(item => {
  return `${item.name} costs $${item.price}.`;
});

// 4. A function to calculate total price using .reduce()
const calculateTotal = (items) => {
  return items.reduce((sum, item) => sum + item.price, 0);
};

// 5. Output results to the console
console.log("Electronics Found:", descriptions);
console.log(`Total Value: $${calculateTotal(electronics)}`);

/* 
Expected Output:
Electronics Found: ["Laptop costs $1200.", "Headphones costs $100."]
Total Value: $1300
