Wired for Wonder

My passion for technology and science was never just about circuits, code, or formulas. It started with questions. How does this work? Why does it behave that way? Can I build something similar? Technology felt like a language — one that explained the world while giving you the tools to reshape it. The first time I opened up a computer, or saw code make something move, I felt like I had touched something close to magic.

But it wasn’t just about control. It was about discovery. Every new line of logic, every experiment or tool, opened a small door. Behind it: something elegant, sometimes chaotic, but always worth chasing. That’s the beauty of science and tech — it feeds both the intellect and the imagination. It’s not cold. It’s alive.

Fashion of coding is also in how you see it.

1async function generateText(prompt) {
2 const apiKey = 'your-api-key';
3 const apiUrl = 'https://api.example.com/generate-text';
4
5 const response = await fetch(apiUrl, {
6 method: 'POST',
7 headers: {
8 'Content-Type': 'application/json',
9 'Authorization': `Bearer ${apiKey}`
10 },
11 body: JSON.stringify({
12 model: 'text-generation-model',
13 prompt: prompt,
14 max_tokens: 50
15 })
16 });
17
18 const data = await response.json();
19 console.log(data.choices[0].text.trim());

The Mystery Behind the Code

Einstein once said, “The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious.” That’s the feeling I’ve carried into every line of code, every scientific concept. The more we understand, the more we realize there’s so much left unknown. That’s not discouraging — it’s sacred.

Technology may simulate intelligence, and science may describe the cosmos, but behind it all remains a question bigger than any answer: Why is there something rather than nothing? Whether you call it mystery, God, or simply the unknown, that presence shapes how I see the world.

To me, coding and building are not just technical acts — they’re expressions of reverence. Like drawing closer to the edge of something infinite. The universe, in its complexity, feels designed to be explored. Maybe we’re not meant to fully solve it. Maybe we’re just meant to keep looking — and never stop asking.

My love for cars started small — literally. As a child, I was obsessed with Mini 4WDs. Tamiya kits, tiny motors, plastic tracks...
