Self-Introduction | I want to deliver the joy of "I did it!"

Thank you so much
for opening this article😊

Nice to meet you, I'm Taka!
Please let me introduce myself a little today.

I was bad with computers

Before I entered the IT industry,
I was terrible with computers.

When I was working in sales,
I saw a colleague copy text with Ctrl+C
and paste it with Ctrl+V,
and I was genuinely surprised, thinking, "Wait, what is that!?"

To me, the internet meant searching on Yahoo.
That was the extent of my knowledge.

"Things like this
　should just be left to people who are good at them"

I had always resigned myself to that,
and I intended to live my life
in a world unrelated to IT.

I never even imagined
that I would become an engineer.

Diving into the world of engineers

Life is a mysterious thing,
and through an unexpected turn of events,
I ended up diving
into the world of engineers.

I began a life of touching the computers I was so bad at
from morning until night every day.

At first, it was a constant struggle.

Words I had never seen before
filled the screen,
and when errors appeared, I had
no idea what was happening.

Everyone around me was typing on their keyboards
as if it were second nature,
and I felt like I was the only one being left behind.

"Why did I
　choose this path?"

I thought that over and over again.

But as I faced the computer every day,
the things I could do gradually increased.

Errors I didn't understand yesterday
I could read today.

With the programs I wrote,
manual tasks were finished in an instant.

Those small "I did it" moments
piled up,
and before I knew it,
I had come to love
writing programs and
automating systems.

Because I was once bad with computers,
I know the "joy of being able to do
what I couldn't do before" better than anyone else.

Looking back, that is how I feel.

I want to deliver "I did it!"

Ever since then,
the driving force behind my actions has not changed.

Someone feels the thrill of "I did it!"
I want to create that moment.

After becoming an engineer,
there was a time when I worked as an instructor
at a programming school.

The moment when students wrote code with their own hands
and saw the results appear on the screen.

I truly loved seeing them say "I did it!"
with their eyes shining.

Every time I saw that expression,
I could sincerely think,
"I'm glad I did this job."

Whether I am building systems for work
or conveying something to others,
when I get down to it, I always arrive at this feeling.

Those small moments of joy
move people's lives forward just a little bit.

I want to continue to be present
for those moments.

Anxiety felt in the AI era

While working as an engineer,
I have witnessed the rapid evolution
of AI.

Parts of the work I do
are starting to be replaced by AI.

Code that I wrote by hand until yesterday
is now generated by AI in a few seconds.

While I feel the convenience,
the anxiety of "What will happen
to my job in the future?"
never left the back of my mind.

But just waiting won't change anything.

If I am feeling anxious,
I have no choice but to take action myself.

I want to use my skills and experience
to create a source of income separate from my main job.
And in that process, I want to be useful to someone.

That is why I decided to take the plunge into a side hustle.

In my side hustle, I focus on creating systems.

The systems I am currently building are being turned into
Udemy courses as a way to formalize them.

I just love building systems and
automating tedious tasks.

The moment you clear a stack of blocks in Tetris with a long piece.
The moment you fill in the last square of a Sudoku puzzle.

Systematization has a sense of satisfaction
similar to that feeling.
(Does that make sense? Haha)

Moreover, thanks to the development of AI,
things I thought "I want to do this"
have become increasingly possible to realize.

I can't help but enjoy this era where
systematization proceeds so smoothly.

"IT that creates space for thinking"

While challenging myself with a side hustle,
I arrived at a certain philosophy.

Using the power of IT and systematization to
let go of "things that don't need to be done."

By doing so,
time to think for yourself and
mental space are created.

Technology is merely a means.

The goal is
to create time to face
what is important as a human being.

Working by sacrificing nights and weekends
just to keep selling your time.

Swallowing information on the internet whole
and forgetting to
think for yourself every day.

I want to change that state
little by little with the power of IT.

I want to increase the number of people who can
think for themselves,
make their own judgments, and act on their own.

This is the philosophy I advocate called
"IT that creates space for thinking"
.

What I want to deliver through this note

In this note, I will share my own real-life experiences.
I will share my own real-life experiences.

I will write about not only what went well,
but also my failures and struggles
exactly as they happened.

"This is what happened when I tried it,"
"This is where I stumbled,"
"This is how I felt."

If you search the internet,
you will find plenty of know-how and information.

But "how the person who actually did it felt"
is something only that person can write.

That is precisely why
I want to deliver what I have experienced and felt
in my own words.

It would be wonderful if, through my own down-to-earth words,
I could inspire even a little bit of
"I'll try it too"
or "I think I can do it too"
in those who read this.

Thank you for reading
until the end.

I would be happy if I could move forward
together with those who are taking on similar challenges.

I look forward to connecting with you from here on out.😊
