It's been two months in the Bay Area.One observation among many is that people are on a mission to optimize every fiber of their existence. The premise of artificial intelligence was that we'd win back time and gain our freedom, but now we're busier than ever. We can't afford to lose a minute. Frankly, I find it hard to believe that societies are built to live that way. If anything, I know for a fact that the human brain can only focus for about four hours a day according to some science podcast I was listening to on my train ride, because I felt guilty simply doing nothing. Now that I'm out in the real world, I've been paying more and more attention to it. Thumbs constantly scrolling, eyes moving rapidly to catch a glimpse of one thing before another arrives. Hands -- with no mobility left in them, I imagine -- typing away, postures that look painful to hold. I have yet to see a

A homeless lady stopped me asking for change, saying she hadn't eaten for days. I didn't have cash (haven't held any in years), so I felt bad and offered to buy her something nearby instead. I was in a rush, and the closest place was McDonald's. She responded with, "I'd rather starve than eat processed McDonald's."Earlier, I bought a homeless guy pizza and a small dessert from Whole Foods, only for him to tell me he doesn't eat meat, dairy, gluten or sugar. perhaps, he had genuine health reasons.But still. This is the Bay Area for you.@feruza_devferuza.dev

I write this sitting at San Francisco International Airport, waiting for my two checked bags to appear on carousel 6. My entire life, packed into two suitcases. Joan Baez's 500 Miles is playing in my headphones. It feels fitting.School ended a week ago, and it still doesn't feel real. It's as if I'll surely be back on campus in September, right? As if a week of graduation festivities never happened. The thought of starting all over again is genuinely terrifying. I always entertained the idea of taking gap years, or dropping out to start a company -- sometimes out of existential crisis, sometimes just to annoy my friends. Now that it's actually over, I realize how much I took that experience for granted.Just a bunch of twenty-somethings, living together on a beautiful campus full of castles that most people travel to photograph their most important days. Princeton was a generous,

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

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

I don’t feel 'home'.The not so often talked about part of moving abroad at a young age is that you will never feel home again. The first couple of years, you are still exploring and excited to be out there, making friends and seeing places. You’re naive and innocent. You trust everyone and see the best in people. But sooner or later, that feeling of thrill fades. You simply get used to being a foreigner. You visit home once or twice a year, but you won’t feel at home. Everything is the same in a relative way, but you’ve aged in ways that are hard to explain. You feel it in every conversation you have. Would you stay if you knew this would happen? Probably not. Because at the end of the day, you chose this to create a better life for yourself and the people you love. Soon you lose the idea of what a better life even means for you. It is certainly not the unease of never belonging. Butferuza.dev

UX for setting stock alerts in Interactive Brokers is horrible so I built a mini bot in telegram to set alerts and build your own watchlist. It doesn't have many features, but I'll add them as I go.Check out the bot here: @Buffetindicator_bot@noordievdev
