⚙️ Imagine doing something for 10 years. Every single day. Whether it is running, solving a coding problem, building a relationship with people, or whatever it is. You practice it every single day. You do it good or bad, you succeed or fail, none of them matters. You practice it every single day. You learn something new every single day. For 10 years.

📈 Most likely, at the end of the period, you will be better than 99% of people at what you have been doing for the last 10 years. You will not be the number one, but you will be respected (or get paid) for how you do it.

🎸 One of my closest friends, picked up a guitar for the first time around 7 years ago. He didn’t even know how to hold the guitar properly back then. But he spent at least 15-20 minutes up to few hours every day practicing different chords and songs. Day by day, he got better and better. Today, he does not release songs or fill the stadiums with fans. However, when he starts playing, people stop their conversations and focus on the beautiful music.

🗑 Unfortunately, though, most of the people I know started spending at least few hours every single day on consuming “garbage” content that they will forget in less than 3 minutes. And unfortunately, it may continue for the 10 years to come. These people may reach excellence in memes and funny videos at most. Or become a producer of such content at worst.

❓The question is, What are you doing for the next 10 years?

From my discussions with Azimjon Pulatov

You already know OpenAI shocked everyone with their new AI model that can have a seemless conversation with a user.

After watching this jaw-dropping demo, did you think
- AI is gonna replace all of us
- We are screwed
- It is a fake demo

or did you think
- What project can I build with this AI
- How can I use this AI to improve my day to day life and work
- What can this model do that the previous ones couldn't.

It is not about what is happening around you, it is about how you react to it.

When I first joined Affirm, I experienced an imposter syndrome. I felt like they hired me by mistake. Think about it. I was some 18 year-old guy from Asia who only worked in small startups and who was just the first year at university. Why would $10B company hire me as a full time engineer (not even an intern) when there were so many better candidates? To a very large extend, they were right. I didn't know tons of stuff that I should have known.

Because there were so many acronyms, terminologies, engineering methods, etc. I didn't know about, I couldn't differentiate which ones I should have known and which ones I should have learned at Affirm. So, I made the worst decision possible and didn't ask any questions. To hide my lack of knowledge from my colleagues, I pretended, I acted, as I understood everything.

Few months passed by, I still don't know a lot of stuff, but I am not a new-hire anymore. I cannot ask stupid questions anymore. If I ask someone "what is DT?," they would probably respond with "You have been using DTs for the last 2 months without knowing what they were." And that thought alone kept me pretending for another month.

Everything backfired. I was not performing well. I was not learning well.

And there came the Feedback and Development (FnD) session, where my colleagues had to write a review about my performance, which, as I expected, was mostly negative. I was ready to get fired and almost started looking for a new job. However, instead of firing me, my manager sent me a zoom link and told me she wants to talk.

After I explained the situation to her, she said "you know what you should have learned at affirm - anything that you didn't know. You know when you should have stopped asking stupid questions - never, I still ask stupid questions and so do my managers. Asking questions saves both your's and your mentor's time rather than wasting it."

I did as she told me. I still ask my seniors and managers some weird questions that I think I should have known. But now, I know that knowing answers saves more time than pretending to know them. My next FnD session was pretty positive.

P.s I have an important exam tomorrow, which is why I couldn't polish the post and sent it "raw."

Muammoli insonlar baxtli insonlar.

❤️ "Baxtning siri nimada" internettagi eng siyqasi chiqqan savollardan biri bo'lsa kerak. Bu savolga man javob bera olmasligim aniq, lekin shu kungacha qayerdan eng ko'p baxt "garmonini" olganimni aytishim muammo emas. Muammolardan.

🏥 Negadir, butun dunyoda, muammolarga nisbatan negativ fikr shakillangan. Muammolarning ko'pligi ba'zilarga tashvish, keyinchalik esa hattoki deprissaya olib keladi. Ba'zilar hayotta muvaffaqiyatga erisha olmayotganligiga sabab - muammlari ko'pligi, shu muammolar bo'lmaganda, hayoti ancha yaxshi bo'lishini takidlab charchamaydi.

🕺 Lekin o'ylab ko'ring, hayotingizda hech qanday muammo bo'lmaganda, kuningiz qanday ko'rinishda o'tgan bo'lar edi. Ishlashdan ma'no yo'q. Chunki ota-onangiz sizni milliardlab pul bilan ta'minlaydi. O'qishdan ma'no yo'q. Chunki, o'qishdan maqsad - biron sohada chuqur bilimga ega bo'lib, o'sha sohadagi muammolarga yechim topish. Sizda esa u soha bo'yicha hech qanday muammo yo'q.

🌿 Yetarlicha pul, bo'sh vaqt va maqsadsiz hayotda, qayerdandir qo'lingizga narkotika tushadi va hayotingizda maqsad paydo bo'ladi.

💰 Juda ham ko'pchilik millionerlarning farzandlari aynan shu hayot tarzini tanlaganligi hech kimga sirga emas.

🔨"Xo'sh shunday qilib baxtning siri nimada?" Man uchun baxtning "sir"i va hayotning ma'nosi bu oldimdan chiqadigan muammolardan qochish o'rniga ularni hal qilishda.

🎓 "Chet elda o'qish qimmatligi" muammosini, qanchalik qiyin bo'lsada kerakli pulni ishlab topish yoki chet el universitetidan grand yutish bilan hal qilishda.

🇪🇺 "O'qish va ish tufayli O'zbekistonga borolmas ekanman, ota-onamni ko'rolmas ekanman" muammosini, qanchalik qiyin bo'lsada ota-onami yevropaga olib kelib hal qilisha

💸 "Milliarderlar soliq to'lamas ekan, meni esa yarim oyligim soliqqa ketadi. Nohaq hayotta yashayapmiz." degan muammoni, well, milliarder bo'lib hal qilishda.

🛣 Ko'rayapsizmi, har bir holatda, muammoni hal qilishga harakat qilmasdan, shunchaki aybni boshqa bir narsaga to'nkashim mukin edi. Va bu ham ancha oson ham ancha vaqt tejaydigan qaror bo'lardi. Lekin unday qilmaganligim bugungi kundagi baxtimga sababchi.

Fikrlaringizni odamlarga siz o'ylagandek yetkazib berish qiyin. Bitta ortiqcha so'z va kimdir xabaringizni butunlay boshqacha tushunishi mumkin. Mandayam shunaqa fikrlar judayam ko'p. Ulardan ba'zilarini Shaha Dolimov o'zining oxirgi podcastida judayam chiroyli yetkazib beribdi.

15-30 yosh oralig'idagi bo'lsangiz videoni ko'rishni tavsiya qilaman.

iPhoneingiz bor, lekin Samsung ishlatadigan do’stingizning telefoni qanday ishlashigiga qiziqib ko’rganmisiz?

Samsung TryGalaxy nomli ilovani ishga tushirdi. Ilova sizning telefoningizni Galaxyga aylantiradi va ba’zi bir kerakli dasturlarni sinab ko’rish imkoniyatini beradi.

Anthropic tadqiqotchisidan qiziq fikr:

Sun'iy intellekt modellarini yaratishda ular hayvonlar va o'simliklar kabi parvarish qilinadi, dasturlashdan ko'ra. Bu ularning qanday ishlashini tushunishni qiyinlashtiradi. Biz modellarni yaratishda ularga nima qilish kerakligini aniq aytmaymiz.

🚪 Eshikka borish va eshikdan o'tish. Xonaga kirish uchun ikkisi ham kerak.

FAANGga ishga kirish uchun, proyektlar qurish va ish tajribasi bu eshikka borish. Algoritmlar esa eshikdan o'tish.

Top universitetga o'qishga kirish uchun, IELTS va SAT bu eshikka borish. Essaylar esa eshikdan o'tish.

Muvaffaqqiyatli startup qurish uchun, yaxshi idiya va produktning bo'lishi bu eshikka borish. Mijozlar topa olish esa eshikdan o'tish.

Yangi narsalarni o'rganish uchun, kerakli kitob va videolardan bilim olish bu eshikka borish. Tajribada sinab ko'rish esa eshikdan o'tish.

Romantik munosabat qurish uchun, tashqi chiroyga ega bo'lish bu eshikka borish. Ichki chiroy esa eshikdan o'tish.

Muvaffaqiyatga erishish uchun, qattiq mehnat qilish bu eshikka borish. Omad kelishi esa eshikdan o'tish.

Google'dagi intervyu jarayoni

Ma'qola:
https://www.zokirov.com/posts/googledagi-intervyu-jarayoni

Mavzular:
- Katta kompaniyalarda intervyu qanday ko'rinishda bo'ladi.
- Intervyudan oldin taqdir menga eng yaxshi sovg'ani berganligi, men esa uni rad qilganligim.
- Intervyularda kod yozish darajangiz eng muhimimi?
- Katta kompaniyalarda tanishlarsiz referral'lar olish.
- Ishlay olmagan LeetCode masalamni ishlash .
- Intervyuda yomon javob berdim deb o'ylash ba'zida xatoligi.

Dasturlash tili yoki Ingiliz tili?

Yaqinda oziq-ovqat do’konimizdagi savdo tizimini almashtirdik. Yangi tizim bizdagi tarozilar bilan bog’lana olmadi. Tizimni yozgan dasturchilar bir oydan oshiq vaqt sarflab, yechim topisha olmaganligini va 10dan oshiq tarozilarimizni almashtirishimiz kerakligini aytishdi.

Shundan keyin adam muammoni menga olib keldi. Tarozi rostdan ham juda muammoli ekan. 10 soatdan oshiq vaqt davomida Google, ChatGPT va ishlab chiqaruvchining saytlaridan foydalanib juda ko’p ma’lumotlar o’qib chiqdim. Hamma narsani aniqlashtirib olganimdan keyin, 2 soatda dasturni yozib tugatdim.

Bunday holat tarozidek kichik xolatlardan tortib amazon kabi katta korporatsiyalarda ham kuzatilishi mumkinligini Jahongir aka o’z postlarida aytgandi.

Ya’ni sizning qadringiz (va maoshingiz) kod yoza olish qobilyatingizga qarab emas, muammoni yecha olishingizga qarab o’lchanadi. Muammoni yechish uchun esa soatlab, kunlab, kerak bo’lsa oylab internetdan ma’lumotlar o’qish, bilganlaringizni jamoadoshlaringiz bilan maslahatlashish va qilinayotgan qarorlarni yozma ko’rinishda (dokumentatsiyaga) saqlab qo’yish talab qilinadi.

Bularning hammasi esa insonlar tilida (o’zbek, rus, ingiliz) amalga oshiriliadi, kompyuter tilida (python, js, sql) emas.

Shu sababli, agar ingiliz tilingiz kuchli bo’lmasa, dasturlashga shoshilmay turganingiz yaxshi qaror bo’lishi mumkin.

Ko'pchilik qilmayotgan ishni qilsangiz, ko'pchilik erishmayotgan natijaga erishasiz. Garchi u yomon natija bo'lsa ham...

Polshada, ko'pchilik, talabalik vaqtida yaxshi ishga joylashib, ishlash huquqini beruvchi tashkilotni Universitetdan ishxonasiga o'zgartirib, keyin o'sha ishidan ketmaydi. Men esa aynan shunday qildim. Afsuski, ko'pchilik bunday qilmaganligi uchun, bunday xolatda davlatdan qaror chqishini kutish kerakligini, Google'dagilar menga ham aytishmagan, o'zlari ham bilishmagan.

Men esa eski kompaniyamga ishdan ketishimni aytib qo'yganligim uchun, orada 2 oy ishsiz qolib kettim va 2-iyunda Google'dagi birinchi ish kunimni boshladim.
