Boss I can wait, sharing resources with me won't change my situation sir, I've spent a lot of time downloading stuff all over the internet and watching endless vids on YouTube, non of this things are practical because if it was I'd have gotten even a single client, I dedicated so much time buying courses and all, and I realized that the one thing I'm missing is a mentor, pls don't let my efforts goto waste, I'd offer to pay you but what will my money do for you that you can't already do for yourself, I'm humble and ready to learn pls help me.
To be a successful programmer you must first build a special software and sell it. The program may be malicious ie a malware, a crypter or even a comment bot that can be used to comment, like or share a post with one button. And you will become rich overnight. WormGPT was created in less than 2 months ago, but the programmer have made millions of dollars. WormGPT is an AI chatbot like ChatGPT, but there is no limit to what it can do!

I don't have because I haven't seen a NY client to work for, I'm supposed to put my work in the portfolio but no clients, pls don't think I'm unserious, is there a way I get stuff to put in my portfolio without working with someone? Do I falsify stuff? That's why I need guidance, but I have a UI and ux design portfolio I put that on my Upwork profile already.

You can create a Shopify partner and play with a test store. Portfolio on Upworks matters, but you might also want to look outside Upwork, meaning slack, and others.

You can ditch upwork and design open source projects


Most open source projects design sucks


You could try that


If your work is good , people will recommend and refer you

Register for a physical coding school class, pay the required fee. It might take you around 6 months to 1 year to be solid programmer but it is better than all this mentors you are looking for. They will teach you the basics very well. There are many of them now, starting from ALX Africa, Stutern, Aptech etc. I myself did 2 years at NIIT when I started, I didn't go around looking for mentors.

Junior Devs too, it's about maximizing your values. Most junior dev don't do real world projects, they do bootcamp work.


So if them do real life jobs, dem go give them jobs?

Don't be decieved, most of them are only IT trainers cos they are broke. None of their products are in the commercial market fetching them money on a daily basis.

I talked about this some times ago.

Being knowledgeable in IT does not necessarily translate to being good in business. Commercial success for a software product goes way beyond being able to architect a solution. If you criticise them for not being business savvy, that's okay. But not that they aren't sufficiently skilled in IT.

I'v never seen a rich programmer in Nigeria. Apart from hearsay...

How many have u met?
Is this playing?😂
Seems you never jam one before, one thing is that most of em don't know how to show off their social lifestyle.
I have one Egbon in my street that wears only two pairs of jeans, those blue white ones 😁 but comparing it with how he spends omoh I dey always pray he meets us where we dey flex, he doesn't disappoints.
Me wey dey learn sef wey dey house within two weeks doesn't even think about overgrown beards

Chrome extension is quicker to learn and have a portfolio, Shopify is profitable but requires a team as its alot of work
