Here’s a great new year resolution: taming the machine learning dragon. Machine learning is now a part of every smart product, startup, and data analytics strategies in every company. It’s just so useful. Let’s learn some practical data science together in this new year. We firmly believe that data analytics and machine learning / AI is the new literacy. You will want to know writing, reading, and a bit of data and coding. There’s no going around it. This is why we launched our beginner friendly, bootcamper written machine learning training platform. We are also working hard to launch features that reward learners like yourself : perks, swags, even future events. When the job market the world is discouraging, we want to be your study buddies and cheer you on. That’s why we are putting more work into the developer lifestyle series. It gives all of us something to look forward to — the tech lifestyle.
Uniqtech is entering a new era. With the support of our paid subscribers we are adding new features. Supporting you through this difficult time. We also have a new office address in downtown San Francisco (we are still tiny tiny operation of 1–2 people but we are aiming exponential growth).
Variations of the new year newsletter hero image.
2023 continues to be a tough season for the tech sector, which continues to have massive layoffs. But a new saying is emerging in web3 and tech : Bear Market is for builders. Let’s BUIDL (intentional misspelling of build in web3).

Career — inspirations and tips
Warning: no counselor on staff, not career advice.
It’s good being a developer. Did you know the principal software engineer salary is nearly 1 million dollars at top companies? (Disclaimer : our newsletters cannot get you to principal engineer positions ;-) We do have friends who are principal engineers. Our take: it starts with their Stanford / MIT / CMU educated parents who were already top notch engineers back in the dot com boom days. And they started coding early! One friend learned calculus at home and intended to teach his baby early in grade school. O_o
Did you know that top tech companies often hire through internal referral? It’s like early admission for college, the chances are rumored to be way higher.

Recession proof tech companies?
We asked ourselves how to best serve our users during a time of massive tech layoff. We continue to offer cheap affordable tutorials. If you are suffering hardship, tell us, we can potentially give you temporary access. Is there such a thing as recession proof tech companies? Just like there are recession proof businesses like Walmart and McDonalds, some businesses don’t crack when there’s downward pressure. Examples: accounting service is useful for both record profit and bankruptcy filing. Government tech could also be evergreen. There are always needs in healthcare in both good and bad economies. Did you know both the Democrats and the Republicans had stellar data teams? More on that later in a future flash card: how does President Obama and President Trump’s data team pitch against each other. The winner may shock you. There are always tech research positions at universities. Warning : not career advice.
OpenAI — the King of AI
Did you know OpenAI is founded by Elon Musk and Sam Altman (top managing partner of Y Combinator). That’s right we may like or dislike Elon Musk but he surely gives birth to a lot of unicorns 🦄. In our previous newsletter we wrote extensively about OpenAI, visiting OpenAI office in San Francisco. We even got an OpenAI picnic blanket (It’s silly, but that’s one of the exciting moments in the Silicon Valley). In the near future, we want to do giveaways and deliver these special merch to our long term customers (don’t worry even past subscribers can enter).
Check out our founder’s OpenAI office tour video.

OpenAI going on sale?
Wall Street Journal (Jan 4 2023) : “ChatGPT Creator Is in Talks for Tender Offer That Would Value It at $29 Billion OpenAI, the research lab behind the viral ChatGPT chatbot, is in talks to sell existing shares in a tender offer that would value the company at around $29 billion, according to people familiar with the matter, making it one of the most valuable U.S. startups on paper despite generating little revenue”

Developer Lifestyle

Swag preview coming soon.
Despite recent tech layoffs and disasters, Silicon Valley is still at the center of innovations. It is a geographically significant location with access to capital and talents (from universities like Berkeley and Stanford). This is, by the way, my mentor at Stanford’s research area — how to re-create an innovation hub like the Silicon Valley in Asia. Despite the outflow talent from Silicon Valley, there is one spot that is becoming the AI hub of the Bay Area — Cerebral Valley. Read more about how Hayes Valley is becoming the next destination for AI founders and recent exodus of tech.
Check out our flash card: What is Cerebral Valley? The next AI Hub?
Hayes Valley is the next destination for AI founders and talents.
