Yes I code, I'm a python programmer with little knowledge of HTML, settled for backend but would love to chip in when it reaches the frontend too

talkcash:
Wow, you know how to code python, I can't code python, because it's really hard I would like to learn from you.

talkcash:
Just to be honest with u, you are going nowhere, because how can a pessimistic person ever make it in life, look u have to be optimistic to make it in life so that when ever things are not going well your optimistic attitude will make u to keep on pushing to achieve success, or will your pessimistic attitude make you to keep pushing, you have to buckle up oh, be optimistic.

SegFault:

Just so you know. I don't believe success is money, I am an existentialist and a nihilist so, my ideals and the way I view life will shock you beyond proportion.

Yeah, Django can also be used to build sites, but I haven't entered Django yet, would love to master python 1st...

When you're ready, got plenty python materials and videos too

talkcash:
I like the way u think, yes u are correct but which money are you going to use and eat.

SegFault:

Exactly, what I'm saying. We are the worst and we will continue to be the worst simple.

talkcash:
Yes, but can u code? or do graffics or have wonderful ideas, in that way you can contribute.

SegFault:

The one I can manage to make nah. This life, I am prepared to live it anyhow it comes.

Stop decieving urselves.

Nigerian programmers are the worst and that is just the plain truth.

That assertion has been proven time after time. And what the op typed is another proof of the mediocre nature of nigerian programmers.

Just imagine another social network. For what purpose exactly that the existing ones cannot cater to. All you are after is how to charge money for ads. That single thought alone has blocked all the innovative, entreprenuerial, futuristic and problem solving ideas and concepts from filtering through
great indeed
continue decieving urselves. Shior

talkcash:
Just to be clear you are wrong, this is the attitude that will lead Nigerians nowhere, why can't we lead and they will follow.

codeigniter:
this arguing won't solve anything, because both of you are strictly talking from POV, it doesn't make anybody right

I believe we're programmer here, we solve problem, a guy suggested social media development which might not be the best option, even if u develop it successfully what hosting cost, marketing, e.t.c development is the least, why do u think Nairaland has so few users despite the fact that there are same people with multiple moniker, apart from bad UI, the old guy is growing organically.

another person suggest alot of ideas that are worth discussing, Nigerian programmers suck because lack of collaboration, and everybody just want to feel superior, after years of coding I realized that I am not that good, I just needed smarts.

every body want to freelance, some even want to build a whole startup for 200,000 - 500,000 alone...

if
let us catch a big fish by working together
else
we will keep nagging and pointing fingers when we are all responsible

Bottom line
let work together to build a tools not SoMedia let change the status quo.

some guy mention Nigeria using others tools

I would rather use others tools than reinvent the wheel

Emmyloyalty:


You seem to be confident. Message me and let's start something on that idea you have.

NB: I don't code games.

talkcash:
Fine, let's chat on WhatsApp.

SegFault:

We will never be as good as them take it or leave it. Do you know why? The only thing we think about when we write code is money. Now browse GCC, GRUB or any GNU project out there guess what? They are all open source that is they are free. People actually write hundreds of lines of code to give it up for free because they love coding. If you love coding it would feel like a narcotic to you, anytime you do it, it's not always money you'll think about but just how to make something cool. Take the CEO of whatsapp, he quit his job when Mark Zuckerberg with his stupidity like Bill Gates own decided to try to use WhatsApp for money making gains, he simply quit because it is against his standards. If it is a Nigerian, he would go ahead and put ads self to kill it.
Programming is an art, and creative people will always excel at it. Think about it, no Nigerian made OS, no Nigerian made programming language, no Nigerian has made a breakthrough in algorithms to solve problems (algorithms to solve race conditions, parsing algorithms, algorithms to solve deadlocks etc) nothing. We are not innovative simple and as a pessimist I believe it will continue the normal way cheers.

Etinosa1234:

Since u don't care abt it...then why are u disturbed abt pple that are doing theirs to earn money
1)Lol...So the technologies that u are using was given to u free right?...So what's so bad abt someone using other people ... U are even using Americans as an example...Can u Compare the technological advancement of Nigeria to USA.. when Charles Babbage created the first computer,Africa was thinking abt fighting wars and conquering villages. So u'll Na expect Nigeria to boost past other countries that have been developing ICT for over 200 yrs.. I'm sha waiting for ur own technology... maybe when u do urs..it will be able to leave the corner of ur house... Mtcheew...be there complaining abt Nigeria using other people's technology as if it's only Nigeria that's using it...abeg face ur OS and stop disturbing us
2) Another nonsense talk...So in Nigeria...where there is little or no Jobs , u expect a Nigeria to code for fun..I ask u again...Will fun give him money...Shame nor dey catch u sef... comparing America to Nigeria as if their economy is the same with ours... someone that is coding for fun most likely have other Jobs dey do to support them...or come from a rich family.. Will a jobless Nigerian with only a coding skill think of fun??
U Jus dey talk like say u nor know country wey u dey..If to say na code for fun Mark or Bill Gates dey do...dem for nor become richest in the whole world so wetin u come dey talk again?
3)Ahhh....Osanobua...So a CS student is now an authority for u concerning developers.. U nor even type CS graduate.. Ahh.I seriously hope that CS student is good at what is doing.. otherwise na disgrace for u...CS student wey never enter life...Even if u have to use CS student as an example, u should have at least stated the works that he has done that has advantage of the "so called developers"...has the CS student ever built a well recognised software?...what abt an OS...Na u dey talk abt reading ability and u dey quote CS student like say him na Mark Zuckerberg..
4)So in ur mind... GitHub, Stack overflow don't have Nigerian programmers there...Abeg focus on ur CS abeg...and leave Nigerian developers alone

can a Python coders be included?

let's link up na, so that we can find a way to combine every thing in one, so that we will make something different and still add social media in it.

stanliwise:
nihilist ? First time I am seeing someone claim such

SegFault:

Became one recently. I view life as totally meaningless (there are different classes of nihilism) we are left with the choice of finding our own way in life and choosing our own choices in a world void of answers.

stanliwise:
I actually don’t know what to tell you. But nihilist see no meaning in anything. And at some point could live recklessly. I hope you find a meaning soon enough o.

SegFault:

That's a moral nihilist, Who believes there is no such thing as morals. I have done a little thinking on morals and realised where it's roots may have come from and I have accepted that there are morals, as for a meaning in life, I unfortunately can't see one, the only thing I've decided to do is to seek for happiness. As for living recklessly, well I don't give a shit as far as I get happiness from it.

I would have loved to go deeper into this but this is a programming thread not a philosophy thread.
