Throughout your life, you will encounter moments where you have the chance to help someone - often someone with less influence or power than you. It will cost you relatively little to do it, but the upside for them will be high. You should set aside minor discomforts and help them out. They will remember you for life, and should your paths cross again, they will return the favor. At times like this, choose integrity over the hollow pursuit of status. @noordievdev

Malaysia is the most developed out of all the asian countries I have been so far. @noordievdev

ex-McKinsey Partner told me Claude Code Max is better than Business Analysts at MBB and he's already using it non-stop at his current job💀 @noordievdev

My brother, Nur, got into Stanford. His path has been truly an unpredictable one. Coming from Kokand, education abroad was something we had never heard of. If someone did in fact go abroad to study, it meant that they came from a family of power and wealth. Instead of following our father’s footsteps and going to транспортный in Tashkent like many sons would in an Uzbek traditional household, Nur was quite intentional and determined in his decision to go abroad. He graduated from a public high school and lyceum, where rigorous courses like IB or AP were never a concept; in fact most Uzbek schools still don’t offer them. I remember how WiFi was also something privileged families had access to. I’d watch him sleep for a couple of hours before midnight, so he could stay up to use the unlimited night internet service offered by Beeline, called “Do It,” for about 8 cents. He spent two relentless years learning the ins and outs of building a life beyond borders. I remember the days when the electricity would be cut off for two hours for every two it was on, and how we would share candles at the kitchen table to do homework. He eventually landed on Georgetown’s campus in Qatar. Pursuing international relations, he always kept his entrepreneurial spirit alive. He won multiple grants to fund our non profit school back home, where we taught local kids English and coding free of charge. He’s one of the most caring, generous and giving people I know, whether for his family, friends or even strangers. He never stopped helping everyone around him, not because he had an abundance to give, but because he has the ability to truly care about others. He never failed to show up, not once, not even when he was quietly carrying his own weight, far from home, figuring things out with no safety net. Frankly, I would not be where I am today if it was not for him. He’s the giant whose shoulders I continue to stand on. Stanford is lucky to have him. From building legos to building unicorns together! Cheers 🥂 @feruza_dev

You are so cooked @noordievdev

Just met Paul Graham. Co-creator of Y Combinator, computer scientist, essayist - among many other things. It's crazy how things work out. One moment you're religiously reading his essays, the next you randomly get to talk to him. He's quite different from what I expected. Super down to earth and jolly. Nothing like many of the investors and founders you meet in SF. A couple of things he said that I think are relevant: - Don't let AI do all your work. Especially writing, because writing is what helps you think. Write well to think well. (One of the reasons I started this blog, I was terrified of forgetting how to write proper Uzbek.) - CS students, you didn't make a mistake. Even if AI writes all the code, you'll still end up as the engineering manager. And to be a good manager, you have to know how to do what your people do. - To get into building companies, relax the constraint that your first project needs to make money. Just do it because it's cool and fun. - Don't drop out. College is valuable because you can do things for no reason. When you drop out to build a startup, there's only one thing you have to think about, all the time. and many more thoughts he writes about at length in his essays. Definitely worth reading through all of them: https://paulgraham.com/articles.html @feruza_dev

Macbook M4 Pro is heating up when I use claude for 30 mins, and it's draining the battery fast. Anyone tried using it on a vps server or something? @noordievdev
