> Gloss & Code: Where Beauty Meets Binary

I never saw a space where beauty, tech, and chaos could coexist. So I made one.

Hey there.
Welcome to Gloss & Code — my soft little space on the internet where I’m rebuilding my relationship with tech, curiosity, and creativity. This is part tech journal, part digital diary, part public glow-up.

I’m Khushi — a language lover, aspiring Linux girlie, and someone who still picks blog fonts before frameworks. I’ve always been drawn to both the technical and the aesthetic, but never quite saw a space where those two things could fully coexist. So I made one.

I'm about to begin my master’s in artificial intelligence analytics, and I hope to contribute to the world in thoughtful, meaningful ways. But right now, I’m starting from exactly where I am: curious, overwhelmed sometimes, and figuring things out out loud.

Why I Created Gloss & Code

I created Gloss & Code because I needed a space to explore, unlearn pressure, relearn focus, and document the messy in-between.

I’m writing not just for myself, but for anyone who’s ever felt like tech wasn’t made for them — who wants to learn but doesn’t know where to begin, who struggles with being “productive enough,” or who feels pulled between too many interests.

You don’t have to fit neatly into one niche. You can start slow, stay soft, and still build something real.

What You'll Find Here

• Learning how to focus when the brain wants to scroll (and scroll... and scroll)
• Returning to code after a break (and processing how weirdly emotional that can be)
• Exploring tools and tech without the pressure to “master” anything
• Beauty and rituals that help me feel grounded while I grow
• Language learning — both spoken and programming — and how they overlap
• The soft side of productivity and digital life (with cute tools, if I find any)
• Building a digital identity that feels like me, not just “professional enough”

Gloss & Code is for people who are:

• Too curious for just one niche
• Coming back to tech after a break or burnout
• Learning in public — and unlearning perfectionism at the same time
• You’re building something soft, personal, and beautiful — even if you’re still figuring it out

If that sounds like you (or the you that you're becoming), you're in the right place.

A post called $ glow — about a command-line-inspired mindset that exists to remind me (and maybe you) that progress doesn't have to be fast to be real.
