The Accountability Log
The channel began as a coding accountability buddy, with a final-year Ecommerce project and a Next.js portfolio soon becoming early proof of the habit. Then came the learning reset: less leaning on AI and notes, more fundamentals, backend work, and a first Socket.IO chat app.
