listening to 4raws notion remix. unbelievably tuff.
Anyways, Today was day1 at EF.
I guess today was the orientation, I'd gone to sleep at 6 am (very funnt story, i had booked my flight for 11th aug instead of 11 june, so i had to resched and pay extra and reached really late). slept w a 16 year old btw

we were js sitting and talking and lowk js aura farming.
on the whatsapp group, everyone was making some nerdy jokes about how unique their name is, oh im the only mia khalifa in this batch or wtv.
we were just laughing at it, so i was like damn itd lowk be funny to js make a website that rates how unique your name is.
so we just quickly built areuspecial.com

put it on the the whatsapp group and obv it was famous lol, everyhting i make always is ;)
but anyways, i was having so much fun, just building, talking to people, the partners at ef are so fucking cool bro, vatsal, vaishnavi, dilbar, shourya, divit all were coming talking to us. its so cool that all the partners know us. once we get into ef, we're gonna be thebest to come out of ef EVER.
while me and achitanya were sitting in the conf. room, i had a really brilliant idea, what if we do a pokemongo type thing for the ef hack, like you basically have to collect everyone at the EF hack and team, like youd collect pokemons, by taking selfies w/ them. collectEF was the name we came to, but before we were about to start building, Vaishnavi came and sorta scolded us to make us go outside and talk to ppl haha.
then there was this intro thingy, "unconference" where everyone was basically introing themselves. i went first, mogged. this was soooo fun ahhhhh. was listening to like 60 ppl. funfun, lots of really cool people.

met eshaan and sahil, and they are gonna be our teammates for the hack.
we are gonna be sooooo fucking tufff damnnnn.
after the ef guys kicked us out the office at 10 pm, we all came back to the hotel and discussed a bit on how we want tmrw to work (spoiler, we winning it all) pic6
after they all went, talked to Sana for a while, took a shower and ordered CaliB and then finally got to work.
At like 12 am, we started working on collectEF idea. Basically, a pokedex where you need to collect EF ppl instead. This is sooooo fucking tuff damn, i started making it at 12:15ish, finished around 1:30, handed it off to codex, and then once it was built, chaitanya deployed it. we were js listening to songs, having fun, making stuff .
this is exactly how we're going to make billions lets fucknig get it......
now it's like 3 am, tmrw is the main hack, a really big day... let's get it.
AllTheWayUp
CollectEf is so fucking tuff btw.
Billions right here.
