I wish we can train our nation to consume practical content like this one
U guys only take practical knowledge on forceful conversion of small Hindu girls and exploding
Thank you for bringing Hamid in front of the camera. I feel like these are the real celebrities of Pakistan. Their stories should be featured everywhere. I have learnt so much in such a short time. Thank you Hamid for being so inspiring.

@@codescurveofficial Timetsamps are in the description for this one
but some people say university doesnt matter then why only people saying fast is good for cs ? if we study from any other university and do skills then it okay or not?
one of te best podcasts I have ever listened, after Usman Asif Sir's ;)
You are great gem of Pakistan
The podcast is so well but try to make topics and captions
I get very disheartened and my confidence falls like a waterfall whenever i see that FAST is such a good university and i didn't know this even after Fsc and now passing three years in a low level private university i have got to know about the potential of FAST and now i think like i have wasted my three years and now i have no option but to complete the degree as its my last year in BS CS. There is no option to migrate and now i want to start BS again because i am not satisfied with my degree from this current university. I am feeling absolutely useless when i compare myself to the students of these top universities like FAST NUST etc. Jo bhi dekho sab FAST aor NUST se hi jaate hain in tech giants me. i dont know mene apni zindagi ke sath akhir q aesa kya. I am so much hopeless and extremely regretful and depressed. I dont know how to get out of this dark hole. Should i start the degree again ? 😤😓
In which university you are studying?
To some extent, university matters but in computer science mostly skill matters. There are many channels on youtube which give you far more skills.SHAFIQA IQBAL from PU is data engineer at google and according to her perspective universites give you only social and communiction skills.You may join bootcamps before your job. THEY POLISH YOU AND MAKE YOU READY FOR MARKET.
Then you should read or hear ankut the life of Dr. Zeeshan Usmani.
He is also computer science graduate of a very low level uni but later went to USA on full bright and has worked with US govt as well.
Shafiqa iqbal also got there from pucit.
isnt FAST different from pucit?
Yes Fast is different from punjab university
Shafiqa got job at google and she was from pucit
