Factory of Performers: How Kazakhstan Trains 100,000 Programmers and Produces Zero Products

Ten unicorns in a country with a population smaller than Almaty. Zero in 20-million-strong Kazakhstan with billion-dollar grants, accelerators, and forums. The problem is not in the code, not in the money, and not in the people. The problem lies in the system that produces executors, not founders.

Patriotism or Complicity: Why Silence About the Scam of "Our Own" is Killing Kazakhstan's IT Brand

In just 20 years, the average time we can concentrate on one screen has dropped from 2.5 minutes to 47 seconds. While we laughed at "kids getting stuck on TikTok," social media algorithms have quietly restructured the neurobiology of the entire society. Doctors are worse at diagnosing, developers struggle to read documentation, and top managers lose the ability for deep analysis.

Grade Inflation: Why Everyone in Kazakhstan is a Senior, but No One Knows Architecture

In Kazakhstan, there's an epidemic: everyone is a senior by the age of 25. LinkedIn is filled with titles, resumes shine, yet in interviews, a person can't explain why they chose PostgreSQL.
