Stop doing 100 things at a time and focus on things that matter. You will get overwhelmed and end up learning nothing. Being a mediocre jack of all trades will make you as good as the large language models out there. If you don't have anything exceptional to offer, you'll be replaced by your corporate overlords as soon as the next ChatGPT comes out.

Embracing Change: A Journey of Growth and Gratitude

Dear Jakhongir Rakhmonov and Azimjon Pulatov @lazyprogrammer,

I hope this message finds you both in good health and high spirits. I wanted to take a moment to express my deepest gratitude for the incredible impact you've had on my life through your blog channel on Telegram.

Ever since I started following your channel, I have been consistently amazed by the valuable knowledge and insights you share about software engineering and computer science. Your dedication to providing useful information has been truly invaluable to my growth as a professional.

In particular, I vividly remember the post that Jakhongir shared in August 2022. It was about improving one's life by getting rid of social network accounts like Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok. Though it seemed challenging, I gathered the courage to follow your advice.

At that time, I was in my first year of studying for a master's degree at Kyoto University in Japan. I was working hard to build a strong foundation in my chosen field and preparing for my future job. Initially, I simply avoided using these platforms, but deep down, I knew that deleting them was the path to true focus and growth. It was not an easy decision, considering the connections I had made over the years, but eventually, I took the step and removed those social network accounts from my life.

The impact was amazing. With those distractions gone, I was able to fully focus on my studies and personal development. I dedicated myself to improving not only my Japanese language skills but also my programming abilities. I explored different programming languages, practiced coding challenges, and worked on personal projects that allowed me to apply the knowledge I gained from your blog channel.

Through consistent effort and the valuable resources you provided, I witnessed a significant improvement in my programming skills. This newfound proficiency opened doors for me, and I secured my first part-time job as a developer. It was an exciting experience that allowed me to gain practical experience, enhance my problem-solving abilities, and expand my professional network.

Today, I am thrilled to share that I have received a job offer from a prestigious Japanese software company for a software engineering position in 2024. This achievement would not have been possible without your valuable insights and guidance. Your thoughts, experiences, and useful suggestions have played a vital role in shaping my career, and for that, I am extremely grateful.

To all those who are currently in the process of learning and self-improvement, I encourage you to stay committed to your education. Stay focused, avoid unnecessary distractions, and dedicate time to improve both your technical skills and personal development. Consider taking the brave step of deleting your social network accounts, as it can have immeasurable rewards.

Once again, Jakhongir Rakhmonov and Azimjon Pulatov, thank you from the bottom of my heart. Your dedication to sharing knowledge and inspiring others is truly commendable. May your journey continue to impact countless lives, just as it has impacted mine.

With heartfelt appreciation,

Your Follower from Japan

I have said it multiple times - Social Media is holding you back from achieving your goals. The post I just shared serves as a plain illustration of this phenomenon.

This is my 11 month progress in the gym that I started in June 2022. The chart only includes the core lifts. The gaps in the graph mean I either switched those lifts for something else, or I had an injury in the corresponding body part.

Sam Altman, Founder and CEO of OpenAI, is coming to Education City in Qatar. I'll make another post about it If I can make it to the event.

Notes from Sam Altman Event

We had Sam Altman over this week in the Qatar National Library in Education City to talk about OpenAI. The talk was somewhat generic and the questions that were asked were about AI's impact on Education, Governance, and the Economy. Extensive reads are available online on those topics so I'll summarize the key insights I got from the event:

1. How to find/generate startup ideas that will go big: He suggested that you keep in the loop of new findings in the fields you are interested in and spend a lot of time with smart people (my post about friends).

2. Future of jobs: AI will have an enormous impact in the economy. Most workers right now do repetitive assigned tasks instead of jobs, and that will be eliminated with the help of AI soon. It's a good time to be an AI/ML engineer and he advised to learn large scale distributed systems.

3. Off-topic: Something interesting I noticed was the lack of guards in the event. The event was attended by Sheikha Moza, mother of the current emir of Qatar, and I did not see anyone doing checks on people. Sam Altman left from the regular entrance with everyone.
