VLSI engineer earns more than software engineering guys. Very Large-Scale Integration (VLSI) is the process of creating integrated circuits (ICs) by combining thousands, millions, billions , or even trillions of MOS transistors onto a single silicon chip. It enables the development of complex, high-performance, and compact electronic devices like microprocessors, memory chips, and smartphones.


Marvell’s Silicon Photonics and Advanced Packaging Innovation

Marvell has invested heavily in silicon photonics platform development, accumulating over 8 years of mass production experience and more than ten billion operational hours in real-world deployments. This ongoing evolution enables tighter integration between photonic components and traditional electronic chips. One major outcome is the development of an optical system-on-chip (optical SoC) architecture, enabling chip-scale long-reach optical interconnects.



Now Chips can be stacked vertically and horizontally connect using photonic technologies .

Some vibe coding tools will tell you the password in the login page because they didn't use a proper user authentication and user management application like supabase, clerk,firebase or Auth0. Before deployment you have to test all the features and use some tool to find vulnerability.

Most programmers that develop AI have a PHD or degree in computer engineering or science related fields . PHD isn't just to become a lecturer but to join a national, communal or international research institute while writing your papers . The award should based on new discoveries and prototype of advanced projects .

Learn and getting a certification in computer engineering is important because it gives you an edges.

I hardly like to respond to posts on vibe coding as a mobile and full-stack engineer so as not to be mistaken for hatred but i think i will like to respond to this one.
When new tools arrive in tech industry many novices and newbies mostly assume, in ignorance that will certainly displace established practices.
Another assumption is that these tools will make them professionals in no distance time and they tend to use that assumption to mock veterans in the industry who have made mistakes and learn from them, took time to learn best practices
Electric machine never replaced true seamstress it made them become faster and more productive
vibe codig will never real developers it will make more better faster and increasingly productive
What vibe coders will become in years to come:
dumb coders
zombie coders
less logical coders,etc.

I am predicting that hackers will have the best of time in the nearest future

Meanwhile true vibe coders are the ones who know and control the tools not the tools controlling them. They learn and the working and the internals, they can tell when the tool isn't working well. They fix things without the tool or when the tool is not available
Imagine you need to use a new API but your AI tool isn't aware about it. So you are stalk
You vibe-coded an app,it worked, hurray! Suddenly it grew,and you start thinking of next direction to go
What happens when you need to load balance,find-out which microservice pattern you need to use,migrate datasource,etc. While your AI tool will likely write the code for you will you understand it?

If your AI tool write your Queques for you will you even know where to put them? Then you ask the AI again for that!
When non-programmers start vibe coding they become dumbier and dumbier

In summary if you want to truly vibe-code, learn the fundamentals, be a programmer who knows what the tools produce. That way you will control the tool not the other way round!Do not forget that car manufacturers still control the kinds of cars robots built in the factory!
I vibe-code but i control it and even correct it when necessary

some beginner coders have basic knowledge, while others have none, and Udemy instructors are focusing on AI videos for quick profits, neglecting fundamental programming skills. This has caused many seasoned programmers to lose job which is a major problem. Now in Silicon Valley and China Senior developer are applying for junior role which is absolutely absurd.


Tools like HackAI can actually help identify vulnerabilities, making the field more accessible to newcomers.. Even hackers will become lazy we will only have a few White Hat/greyhat in the future.


I am not saying that we should hate vibe coder it will enhance productivity. You can use figma make or v0.dev and lovable/onspaceai some have free and paid versions .

Create a tinder boxing app with AI peers opponents according to weight , strength and BMI with good AI matching system . We can create a game to make it virtual using boxing gloves for boxers in far countries one match a day.



Create a loan to money investment matching system with 7% APY and reverse.

That's what I want to learn now.
I am very good at it now.
Why don't we create a WhatsApp group to share ideas.

There are many ways through web to Mobile using free builder , iOS or Android no code. You can try the following way

1. API using Https to app
2. Progressive web app
3. Webview app
4. Webscrapping to app

You can use AI to write them or use Google and YouTube in any languages.

Prompt as a template we can say semi built template and fully built template make sure the LLM follow the right direction.

I swear. I have built two solid web solutions with vibe coding

Vibe coder remote job is hitting the market now. But you will need to learn how to convert them to mobile app

Exceeding Moore's law by putting 1 trillion transistors in a single wafer . This is about Chip design and computing . The silicon Chips was printed using EUV lithography machine.

The emerging technologies in Direct Wafer-Level Integration and Photonic Interconnects, expected to develop between late 2020s-2030s, include:

- Wafer-to-Wafer (W2W) Bonding: This involves stacking full wafers for tighter integration, enabling more complex and compact chip designs.
- Co-Packaged Optics (CPO): This technology embeds optical I/O within packages, overcoming electrical interconnect limitations and enhancing data transfer speeds.
- Chiplet Standardization: Efforts like UCIe (Universal Chiplet Interconnect Express) aim to enable interoperability across vendors, allowing for mix-and-match chiplet designs and more flexible system architectures.

These technologies are expected to drive further advancements in high-performance computing, AI, and data centers.

A vibe coder uses AI to generate software by describing desired outcomes in natural language, essentially "vibing" with an AI assistant to build applications, rather than writing every line of code manually. This approach, popularized by Andrej Karpathy.

Indian and American vibe coders are building impossible software than the rest of the world converting ideas into real product using various tools those guys has mastered the art of vibe coder that is why I call them senior vibe coders .

Nigerian vibe coding community are growing we have some Nairaland programmers building softwares using AI . We are trying but Asians and Americans are leading this field . You can build something a human can do in 6 months in 5 minutes. If you want to get a job just search vibe coding remote jobs on Google.

Nice one looks like gui python framework Ktinker . Did you use use the API keys directly or you have access to the light weight models.

Agents and robotic agents performed queue task monitoring specific things . it requires implementation all the abstraction.

AI agents use queueing to manage multiple tasks, prioritizing high-priority requests while delaying lower-priority ones, ensuring efficient processing and preventing overload. This boosts performance and reliability, allowing agents to handle user requests smoothly.It is like advanced cron jobs.

AI can calculate the fastest way to complete tasks difficult to humans. This is a research and a live projects that AI researcher need to take into considerations.

You can use appsgeyser to convert HTML, CSS and Js code in one file or URL or a HTML zip file to app . Just Google appsgeyser.


The prompt will be like create HTML, CSS and JavaScript of chess game in one file . Copy the codes and paste do it repeatedly by tweaking the prompt for different apps

Replit,Onspace AI and base44 AI you have to write a detailed plan about your app the UI and database like supabase or firebase with clerk for users management. The features depends on the credits used you can also use a good AI like Gemini to create project architectures.


Most AI tools has a way to respond to it's users the best recommendations so you don't go off track. They might ask for ApI keys register and insert. The hardest part is deployment of the app to app store you can use Despia to convert lovable apps to Mobile app but you have to host it which isn't free

Good achievement by Trump and Lagos state government by connecting talents and startups. We need more companies to come in the future . Maybe one day I might attend an event .

Templated models are structured and repetitive, following predefined patterns. Non-templated models are unstructured and adaptive, handling varied or unique inputs without fixed patterns.

Generative AI for food quality and security processes food item details and user interaction data in real-time. The app will be built with Open source vision models. Product Identification like identifying food items via images (e.g., fruits, packaged goods. Detecting spoilage, damage, or contaminants using effective quality checks.User Interaction Analysis and tracking user feedback or interactions with food items.


The AI app will tell the next phase if you if the item is needed for fermentations with the life span of the food .

TensorFlow Lite / quantum LiteRT: These are specialized toolkits designed to deploy machine learning models on edge devices like mobile phones and IoT devices. TensorFlow Lite / LiteRT should be integrated to hybrid classical-quantum algorithm.

A quantum camera that can visualize objects in 3d or real time and simulate it Captures visual data, classifying objects using a metric dashboard with prediction analysis built with material design principles. Future prospects are in drug discovery and treatment, materials science , defense and astronomy .

Each info will be connected to an AI quantum neural network to satellite and advance telescope and microscope. The knowledge of merging hybrid quantum and super computer is the growing as many nations are accepting prototype and experimentation.


Advanced use case are radio sweeping form satellites detecting far and near objects. More use case is quantum lidar using AI cognition. Deepmind CEO was true about AI is considered the most powerful invention.

Building an AI marketing tools to automation emails, sms and calls (audio and videos). Social media agentic system is a plus.

If ppl catch you ehn..same Gemini with dementia

Me way dey space dey write code . I nor say e be the best . Claudia is better in some task shall but Gemini dey try . I like the competition.

I was just checking how to create a multi-vendor e-commerce website in ASP. NET core 10 using a PRD and I noticed Gemini is better than Copilot. It tell you the next suitable prompt and implementation faster.


Many Java and C# Dev are switching from copilot since Google antigravity was created. I like the features predicting the next feature avoiding critical thinking and it will tell you a better recommendation of design from screenshots.


I am not trying to say it is perfect but you need to be a better prompt engineer. The wrong prompt causes delays. It helps in error handling , refactoring and debugging.
