Explain, I hear this word a lot but no one has really explained it.

A niche in the sense, what area do you want to focus on? Knowing C, C++, and C# to me means you're working on Microsoft platforms. Knowing C and C++ mainly means you can code for microcontroller (hardware based programs), while C# is for software.

You also work with HTML, CSS, bootstrap and js, this means you're into front end web development as well. C#, js, and C++ is also for backend web development.

You can see it's like you're just moving everywhere. Frontend web development is a niche, backend is a niche, standalone development with C# is a niche, machine language (C) is a niche. Even C# can be used for mobile app development.

You forgot horrible internet speed. I lost a job of 1.6 million naira a month because of the rubbish Internet speed in Nigeria it pains me everyday because even though I earn well relatively I don't still make up to half of that. So painful.

get a phone that allows you aggregate your data connection(browse with both sms at once) that way you can use say mtn and Airtel at once whenever you have a serious gig to do

tensazangetsu20:

I started coding at 24 years. I got my first job after 5 months in Nigeria here with an apartment in VGC. I have less than a year of professional experience and I earn very well. Before I became a programmer I was a mechanic/auto parts trader and I could be making max of 50k in a month with 500k to 700k in revenue when all is settled. I was always broke, dirty, smelly and frustrated.

Hi! Did you state your location as Nigeria on the CV you use in applying for remote jobs?

Sometimes I wonder if that has any effect in their decision to respond or not.

They are both useless. I have had all networks fail during an interview before. My wifi and both mobile networks you listed all went down the same time.

Honestly no one in tech cares where you are from honestly provided you can deliver. The key to good remote jobs especially as a beginner is learning what people dont know.

I'm a pro in C and C# though c#'s new features are making my skills a bit outdated, and I hate MVC like die, I'm well versed in C++, html, css and javascript plus bootstrap too, I fucking love bootstrap like die, before the laptop I was using got taken by the owner I was messing with operating system development and was working on a small compiler (llvm was going to do the dirty job of assembly code translation)

You call your self a pro in C and C# so good that you even delved into operating system development, a thing programmers of 30years haven't done, you don't have a laptop of your own, meaning you haven't made or developed any software that is marketable. Guy you need to focus, that's what you lack, however if you are a pro as you claim, show me one out of the world application you have developed, if it's good, I promise, I'll buy you a laptop not more than 100k, all evidence will be posted here.

Commenting for a better reach.

There are other broadband ISPs asides mtn, Glo, Airtel, and 9mobile. There are ISPs that offr truly unlimited monthly or annually billed internet access, you only get to pay for the speed you want. Say 5Mbs/3Mbs or 10mbs/7Mbs that's download and upload speeds respectively.

You fail to include money for data to access premium tutorials or money to enroll in learning centers

To be fair some of the Ops claims are valid, Others, Not so much.

What do I mean?

Electricity: I would think there are laptop Power banks that last for 8+hrs when power supply is out.

Pay for tutorial: Don't really need to pay.
Great resources like:

freecodecamp.org
Runestone academy
Dan bader - Learn python.
Data flair etc.
Free pdf books also exist all over the internet.

Type "*Subject matter *" & pdf on google to choose from a wide range of resources.
Youtube is a massive treasure.

People like Derek banana, Caleb Curry, Mosh Hammedani, Tranversy media, WiseOwl etc are democratizing learning daily.

Internet Access - I don't move around Lagos much but I have heard that Wifi (hotspots) are no longer luxuries as they use to be - Higher institutions, State Library, private Hubs, etc.

Laptop - No solution here as you have to buy.

Time - Focus & drive seem to me as the most important factors for learning here. As well as having a nitche.

Data Engineers, Advanced Data Analysts(AKA Data scientists), Cloud architects, DBAs & Information systems Architects are in demand these days in the enterprise space. I don't know much about web development but it seems to me that competition there is a little tough for a newbie to break into.

If your skills really measure up though, you should be gunning for remote jobs through stack overflow, Indeed & Crossover rather than the lower end Fiverr alone.

God help us.

This was what I was working on bedfore my cousin took his laptop and the difficulty of os development depends on how good you want it to be not forgetting that you must build a graphics driver for different graphics cards of which many have proprietary isas, Lastly most applications of today can't be built using c most especially web apps unless you want to write a back-end library (there are back-end libraries out there but development has been discontinued on most). So you see my stupid life, I really had a lack of aim and focus sometime ago but when I finally got back from the village I had this drive to increase my c# skills. Well it's too late just have to make do with what I have left.

OK, then I'd say I'm into front end web development, application development, was into gameplay programming (unity) but my cousin's laptop couldn't handle it, I've been into a lot of things but don't know how to put it into a certain category.

My 11yr old Son loves coding-die.
He has mastered Phyton, moved on to Java Scripts, C# and Programming in 3D , all self taught.
Now he is pressurising me to buy him a 3D Printer and a high Spec Laptop that costs almost $7,000.
Boy does not know that Kontiri is still hard and Pandemic is not yet gone.
Na posting l just dey post the guy since January but God-willing, if l can, l will surprise him on his 12th Birthday with both.

The crazy dude is always talking about how he will be richer than Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos (My fear is that he does not become one of those crazy nerds or have brain problem, he talks too much about things l have not even heard of! injecting people with nanobots to unleash their memory power, something like' Metheskellar' Machine How he wants to harness electric field power around Mars and he would inject me with some thing and l would live for a thousand years! I told him l dont want to live more than hundred, he can keep his invention bla bla bla ).

Sometimes, l fear he is going bunkers (How can an 11yr old be sleeping by 2am and sometimes by 6am he is awake because he has to dress for school (JSS1), but Thank God, l have other children who are more "normal" Children.
I do block his internet and seize his electronics (phone and Laptops) at times, to force him to rest, before he falls sick and die on me.

Do any adult and experienced Developer and programmer here go through this kind of phase or should l be very worried about his mental state?
He hates playing with his age mates but would rather want to involve in adult discussions or hang-out with them and most time, na to lecture them or some scientific, futuristic thing on is mind.

Now that he is interested feed his interest. If you can afford it get a maths tutor to take him on mathematics way above his level. Introduce him to C++ then let him start to learn data structures and algorithms and get him into competitive programming. He would meet a lot of peers of his age who are crazy doing that. There's also a lot of competitions doing that and offering massive cash prices.

Feed his interest.

I think he is too young for what he is trying to accomplish.
I like him but l will prefer he pays more attention to his School Class Work.
There is a competition for his time, (Homework and HouseWork) with the amount of time he wants to be spending on the Computer.
His Mathematics is average though l can see he has the potential, if he gets a good Tutor.
I am thinking he is just greedy (loves to make money too much, for my liking, he must have taken after his Mother ) at an early age and he should focus on having A-grades in his School.)
I just want him to be a normal kid, grow up like his elder siblings and little by little, enter University and move on in Life.

I appreciate your words of encouragement and l think you would make a good mentor to someone, sometime.
Keep it up.

Naaah, l dont want him to be that kind of person.
I just want him to be a nice adult, with just about enough money to feed his wife and children and have time to come and say Hello to his Pappa in old age. Play Computer games and things like that
I dont envy all those people at all, despite their fame and money.
I prefer a quiet life, a family life, not all those glitter of public eye that those people are exposed to on a daily basis,
Do you know how many people swear for Bill gates in one day, especially as regards this Vaccine and body Implant suspicion?
That is what comes with fame and money.
I dont even know why an 11yr old will be talking in Billions or comparing himself to Billionaire, instead of thinking about how he will ride the Bike l bought for him (Bike that some other children are praying to get, is lying there unused. )

BTW, it is not his talent, he may have been watching too much SCIFI Movies, l think he should be watching more of Children programs and Cartoons. Maybe he just get the thrill of knowing he can do what others his age cant do. I dont consider that a talent. Talent is what you are born with, like you are a genius in it.

But l appreciate you, that you think he is somebody or can become somebody that popular.
I just want a normal son, not some crazy dude that will eventually work for a Govt that build weapons of destruction or change how mankind was created by God.

what you want is as a result of what you have observed personally like the way you have seen people cursed Bill gate

what your son want is different from what you want because that is what he also observed personally
