Mehn!
The shell-permissions project was literally MAD I was insane and mentally drain yesterday.
Imagine working out your solutions throughout the day. Kai coding is hard ooo.
I was so busy that I couldn't attend the AMA session yesterday, I will watch the recorded session later today.

How were you able to deal with yesterday's tasks @Anonymous606?

PS: my git Project is refusing to be pushed to my repository and the second deadline is in 24 hours, need help pls.
AMA watin, anything that wouldn't add mark, I don't bother myself unless I have that time. Yesterday was really tough, 9am-6pm

The AMA session is not important. Just about asking questions.

You should focus on your grades
Although started yesterday's project late but Omo
The stress no be here
The notes I made alone eh... lipsrsealed

Anyways for the git project, try this

"git push origin master"

Good Morning Everyone

You know, it's quite funny but I won't begin this day with negative words

One thing that keeps me going in this program is that I see a lot of opportunities if I finish. Spoke with some senior developers and showed them alx curriculum.

They were so amazed and encouraged me to push up to the finish. one of them said, if I struggle enough to finish the first 9months but securing a job won't be a problem as long as I have my GitHub projects as a backup. IL

I read an article of a startup starting STEM courses for 2million dollars. I quickly checked out their curriculum software engineer, it was funny because it was the normal curriculum for web dev with an addition of data structures and algorithms. Keep pushing forward folks.


Now unto the struggle of alx, Omo yesterday's project really stressed me oh. I couldn't even finish it, I had to wake up by 4am to finish it. Read my note on shell again to refresh my memory.

C project is now available, I was quite surprised to see that because we're starting next week Thursday or is it Friday? But I think the reason why it is available is so we can read ahead, there's a lot of materials to read on.

Gawd!!
I'm so stressed out even though we haven't started C yet

Omo the shell project stressed me oh

It got to a point where all the tasks I have done on my sandbox were nowhere to be found. I tried using the sandbox on my phone and I was able but on the system, I couldn't find them.

I ended up using Termux (A terminal but the phone version) it is really good.

Copied the ssh link, and did the project. Project I started since Morning, I just finished it. I wanna close my eyes and sleep but know tomorrow's project will deal more on advance shell, I will be studying overnight.
Hi at Anonymous6o6, I just downloaded termux for Android based on your recommendation and I'm stacked on how to get it connected to my ssh.
A little guidance will help �

Sure

Go to your dashboard, click on sandbox
Then click on ssh, it will copy ssh
Paste it on termux and press enter
It will request for a password
Go back to the sandbox, you will see the password there, copy it and paste it on termux
And you will be logged in.
Then you can change your directory

You need to know the command lines and how to run shell script.

Good evening guys


Have you ever heard of a tech school named Holberton tech school? Browse about it. They actually partnered with alx to make this program a success and we're using same curriculum with them. The whole point I'm trying to make is that it won't be EASY!!! If you browse how much students in Holberton pay then you will realize it is a huge privilege getting it for free



About USD 40,000. THAT'S N24millon for one year

I'm glad you made a research, we're using same curriculum with them, and when you graduate, we will be getting same certificate with them.

That's an opportunity you don't see everyday

ALX is hard bro
It is hard!

It can get overwhelming if you don't prepare ahead. I'm just grateful to have great peers around me. To learn is not by doing the projects alone because the whole essence of the project is to check if you really understand the topic materials sent to you.

Not going to lie, but I have forgotten most of the shell permission commands, (it was quite a crazy one). I will be dedicating today to re-reading Shell and doing my C project.

Re: My Software Engineering Journey In ALX Africa by Anonymous6o6: 7:41pm On Jun 26, 2022
The past week has been quite a struggle, a number of people I know ended up quitting. Some applied for other courses alx has to offer. Not just C project but also Shell project on int, variables, O/I redirection are now accessible.

I have to confess, the C project is seriously frustrating, especially when "Betty" marks the task with error, you have to keep redoing it until you got it.

Just having the knowledge of C isn't enough to get you through the projects if you don't jot down the command lines.

Below are pictures of my script for C and after running it with Betty, it returned error.
