So, Why Didn't They Teach Us This in College?

Let's be honest — college is great... if your dream job is to write definitions and draw block diagrams no one's ever going to use.

You spend four years learning about operating systems from the 90s, writing Java programs that calculate simple interest, and answering questions like "Explain the types of inheritance with real-life examples." (Yes ma'am, my family is multilevel too.)

But the moment you open a laptop and want to build a real app — like, actually build something people can use — the system crashes harder than your code with a missing semicolon.

What College DID Teach You:

  • How to survive on 6 hours of sleep, 2 packets of Maggi, and blind optimism
  • Problem solving — like finishing a group project alone because no one else shows up
  • Writing 100 lines of code the night before submission

What College DIDN'T Teach You:

  • How to build a full-stack project from scratch
  • How to host it online so it doesn't live and die on localhost
  • How to win a hackathon without Googling "how to make login page in HTML"
  • How to answer actual job interview questions without saying "Umm... we had that in 5th semester, but I don't remember"

That's where this book comes in. The MERN Stack Alchemist won't ask for your attendance. It doesn't care if you sat in the front row or last bench.

"Because you don't need a classroom to become a developer. You just need a laptop, some chai, and this book."

– Harsh Srivastava
