I have bad news. My previous channel was successfully hacked and deleted by unknown people.

I have good news. With the mental support, I have found the strength to start over.

I’d rather not go into the details of what happened, but it’s heartbreaking to lose all the effort and energy I have put into it until now.

Please, if you respect me, don’t advertise my channel…

Too bored not to take action…

Let’s explore the Flow Model — a simple yet powerful concept that explains the formula behind happiness. You are happy when you avoid both anxiety and boredom. Anxiety comes from the challenges you encounter, while boredom arises from the skills you have.

The key to happiness is balancing your challenges with your skills.

So, if the formula is this simple, why isn’t everyone happy? The answer is that while we have control over developing our skills, we can’t always control the challenges life throws at us. For instance, the challenges faced by the wealthy are totally different from those encountered by the poor.

The image above should inspire you to think more deeply...

May 2022 vs. December 2024

The people you choose to surround yourself with matter deeply — they are the ones who shape your future alongside you.

The experience in DevFest

Every year, big corporations like Google and Yandex organize events in Uzbekistan. Their main goal is to raise global awareness about their company and, if possible, attract talented developers to join their teams or companies.

My first experience attending a GDG (Google Developers Groups) event, organized by Google, was in 2022. Participation is totally free, but you must submit a short description 🖥 of yourself beforehand. After reviewing your application, they send you an invitation 📥.

So, what are the benefits of attending such events? First and foremost, they are incredibly fun. Initially, I was drawn in by the free food. My friend, who invited me, said, "Let's go...at least we'll get to enjoy free plov and snacks!" That sounded appealing enough at that time. However, the event turned out to be much more than just eating a food. Unlike a typical concert or big show, the organizers usually rent a large venue and organize multiple activities within the main event.

For instance, one activity involved participants competing to test their knowledge about Google. Those who placed first, second, or third received small prices like cups, notebooks, fun stickers and pencils. Despite being a beginner at this field, I managed to win 6 to 10 prizes, which was a pleasent surprise.

That's not all, though... The event also offers excellent networking opportunities. You get to interact with fellow developers, exchange ideas, and share contacts. There is also an opportunity to get to know about the life in Google from the developers who work there.

That’s what I got from the event back in 2022. It was an incredibly pleasant experience 😅 because you have a chance to get so much stuff (in terms of both knowledge and assets) without any cost.

When ChatGPT has a better sense of humor than you do…

Don't use ChatGPT

Instead use Claude AI. I recently heard a story about an exam at a univercity in Uzbekistan. The teacher allowed students the use of mobile phones during the exam. However, since the ChatGPT's data isn't up to date, the majority of students failed, except for those who used Claude, which has the latest information.

Interesting ya’ ;)

I still remember how I used to sacrifice my sleep every year just to experience this special 00:00 moment. For the first time, I’ve realized that this holiday has power to wake you up exactly at midnight, no matter whether you have interest about this moment or not…

Bye, 2024, with all your sweet memories 😖

Welcome, 2025 - Happy New Year🥂

I have lately realized that life is not predictable.

We all make plans for the future, often confident confident they will work out because they are based on careful calculations and our own determination. Back when I was preparing for the IELTS, surrounded by brilliant people in the local course center, I have big plans for this channel too. I vividly remember promising myself to never stop researching, reading fascinating articles, and sharing my thoughts here. I was confident in this plan at the time. After all, if I could manage it alongside so many learning responsibilities, why wouldn't I be able to continue once those responsibilities were over?

But life always has some other plans for us. My IELTS certificate, ironically, undid everything I had built during half a year. You might wonder, how could that be?

I found myself lost in the paradox of choices.

Imagine meeting a person you've always wanted to meet - perhaps in an elevator. You have just one minute to share the same elevator, a moment of serendipity. What would you do? Can you introduce yourself, knowing you might never have this chance again? In that moment, all you want is to make a connection. But the real question is—can you?

The situation shows the importance of being prepared for unexpected opportunities. We may not know when luck will strive, but we can equip ourselves to make the most of it. By refining our communication skills, imporving our mindset, and even learning English, we can be ready to seize the moment when it arrives.

This concept is famously known as the "Elevator Pitch" - the ability to present yourself or an idea effectively in a short amount of time.

One man said that knowing what not to do works better than knowing what to do.

- There is question why?

After doing some research, I came across a concept called "Via negativa."

It is all about figuring out what not to do. The idea is that avoiding mistakes or bad choices can actually get you better results than just focusing on doing the right things. It’s like clearing out the bad stuff to make room for the good.

Lately, I’ve been feeling like I’m living two different lives. And honestly, I don’t even know why.

For the third morning, I woke up in a rush, thinking I’m late for my IELTS course. Everything in my dreams feels so real that I feel like I’m back in my student life, surrounded by familiar faces, routines, and that old sense of purpose. But then I wake up and remember… I’m 600 km and three months away from that life.

Maybe I just missed those moments, but anyway sometimes reality hurts. Now, I have to keep living my quiet simple life in this big city with no responsibilities at all.

Still, at least in my dreams, I get to go back — if only for a little while.

Vashee… I dunno when did I start getting old?

Lately, at random seminars, random people and organizers keep coming up to me and starting conversation with, “aka…”. And every time I’m surprised. Maybe because deep inside, I still feel 18. At first, I want to say them “ebe, I am not that old” - until I realize… I am actually older than them…

Anyway no idea how did I start aging so fast?

I always thought getting scammed by hackers was something that happened to careless people. Whenever I heard about someone losing money to an online scam, I couldn’t help but think, How could they be so stupid? To me, the tricks hackers used were always obvious, and I never worried about falling for one.

But this morning, I woke up to an email saying, “Your money (≈ $45) has been successfully transferred.”

I blinked a few times, trying to make sense of it. What? I don’t consume alcoholic products, so I definitely recall not making any transactions last night. My heart started pounding as I opened my laptop, hoping it was some kind of mistake. But no—the money was gone.

I went through all my recent activity, searching for an explanation. And then, it hit me. One website. Just one site I had visited was enough for hackers to steal from me.

It was my first time actually losing money, but not my first time getting hacked. I always believed that every attack made people smarter, more careful. I used to think, At least they’ll learn their lesson and avoid it next time. But the truth is, hackers are learning too. They’re getting smarter, adapting, always one step ahead.

And now, I know one thing for sure: if you use digital products, no matter how careful you are, sooner or later, you might get hacked too.

A year ago, I started learning English—it was tough just because of my fish memory. I just hated learning vocabulary. Every method felt boring or useless.

So, I built my own solution—LexiBoost.

After countless hours of development, I created the vocabulary-learning app I always needed. Along the way, I earned my IELTS certificate and truly understood the struggles of other learners. That’s why LexiBoost is different:

100% free—no ads, no hidden costs.
Smart learning vocabulary system that actually works.
Real-life pronunciation with British & American speakers (based on my lovely teacher's advice - Youglish).
Advanced text translation with smart phrase extraction (with its meanings in any language).
Offline English-Uzbek dictionary for beginners, plus a professional English-English & English-Russian dictionary with detailed definitions for advanced learners.

Now, I want others to benefit too. Download LexiBoost on Google Play and let me know what you think! (even if it is on my DM) 🚀
