Learn a tech skill. The most profitable skills in future are going to be mainly technology and education (research) oriented.

A mother hen. I'll never forget that day even in my next life

A status feature to indicate or 'raise' one's hands during a video call meeting.

That's very cool!
Is it for a personal or work project?

[color=#1980BC] An Algorithmic Trading Engine from scratch, which uses my extensive trading experience as a database and also able to build on top that database via updating its trading skill sets, making trading decisions, watching and learning of its outcome not to mention that of growing its own extensive experience on its own as its scours the fx market looking to take advantage of excellent trading opportunities for my financial benefits........I have 19 (each at least 900 lines of code) of these engines all working in different paradigms of the fx market independently and interdependently.I plan to merge all the engines together into something close to a neural network or Artificial Intelligence[/color]

Wow, this is huge!

Mynd44:
I have 24 hour power supply.
Totally off grid

Gen or solar?

Even Discos have petrol generators

The Egyptians you see today you shall see them no more.


I have set the Lord always before me, because He is at my right hand I shall not be moved.

Eaztzide:
No. Just testing out the power of random module and Python itself.

Oh, okay. Happy learning!

aronski:
* Twitter hash-tag system (mine shows who was the first to use the hash tag/created the hash tag)

* User is typing feature for message systems

* Dark theme feature (and other coloured themes)

Number 1 sounds really dope!

I'm wondering, how did you achieve number 2?

Fr4nk:
recently I've been writing a lot of code to solve numerous codewars Kata, it's so hard to choose the best one though, because I love all of them,

For now I'll just pick my sudoku solution validation algorithm and my N×N matrix determinant calculator

This is super cool!
What language did you write these projects in?

Eaztzide:
A Python code to randomly generate phone numbers. 100% of the numbers generated were valid and active when called.

Wow, that sounds great! But what's the intent for the project? Are you harvesting the numbers for something or just trying things out?

Think4Myself:
For now, it's a small game I've been working on, being written in JavaScript

That's amazing! I look forward to how this turns out! Happy coding!

tensazangetsu20:
Know how to use use effect and use state hooks really well. It won't hurt to know how to use usememo and probably use callback too. How to write unit tests with jest or react testing library.

There's more but a lot of companies look at this from a beginner.

This is on point!
Hooks are a must, also I'm thinking one should know at least one of react's frameworks. E.g NextJS or Gatsby and other CSS-In-Js libraries such as Emotion or Styled-components and also know how to consume APIs.

I know testing is important but how many juniors are going to bother writing tests for pet projects? I think it'll be okay to just understand how to write them when the need arises.

This question is particularly for the experienced developers. By experienced I mean you have worked in a team before or you have handled or built enterprise applications with react.


What React.js skills, projects or concepts would you expect a junior to know before they can be called a React.js developer?

Thanks for your reply!

Okay. You may call this a brag post if you like, it's fine, because that's exactly what this is all about.

So tell us, what's that piece of code written by you that you are most proud of as a software engineer/developer? Doesn't matter you are a junior or you have 20yrs+ of experience!

It could be a personal project, an open-source contribution in a popular project or tool, a plugin or an extension you wrote for fun or more terrific, you're one of those who helped send NASA to space! Everything counts!

Please share your story let's get motivated!

You'd need an admin dashboard with some forms that use a text editor such as (DraftJS, assuming you are using JavaScript) and save your post in a database. You can then parse or transform the content as you wish and render anywhere in your app.

Like someone above suggested, you can use a content management system instead if you want a ready-made solution.

A good example will be Strapi or WordPress

2/10... It's looks childish and unprofessional. I don't think web dev is your calling. You need to look for another suitable path away from tech. Your design is poorly done UX and UI are shitty. It's like something designed by a total lunatic(no offence)...

My honest opinion

Hey,
I understand this is your personal opinion but you can't just condemn things that take effort and time without giving a constructive feedback on what feels childish and unprofessional to you. There're better ways you can critique the project without being rude and attacking the OP.

Who are you to tell anybody something is not their calling?

You just need to learn it isn't everyone you can just speak to anyhow anywhere.

What the goddam* is wrong with kids of nowadays? You lots don't even understand what privacy is. Irks me

justwise:
People are getting banned by spambot for quoting the above post, please avoid quoting it..i really don't know why the spambot tagged that post as spam.

The OP's name contains the word 'Virus.' I think that's why

Staged how? I’m lost

People are staring at her when the pictures were taken.

If you think this generation is the worse. Wait for the next generation

LMAO

tensazangetsu20:
Why would a man not do DNA test at child birth like seriously in 2022. It should pretty much be the first thing you do before you even take your child home and start spending money on baby formula.

This got me bursting with laughter, LOL

Please take a picture if you can when this happens. Thanks

TheManOfTheYear:
My interview was great. I'd rate it 8/10.

I was already in the meeting room online about 5 minutes to the start of time. The first question was the usual "tell us about yourself and your background".

I gave a brief narration about my work experience so far, (didn't let them know they were internships), also talked about some of my technical writing experience.

At this stage, I quickly chipped in on some of the open source works I've done. The CTO guy immediately developed keen interest when I mentioned open source.
I've actually been doing some beginner friendly open source contributions on GitHub. Both in code and in technical writing. The guy seemed to love that fact.
I made sure I use that moment to shine.

He asked me to show some of my open source contributions on GitHub, which I did.

Now, after about 30 minutes of chit chats, it was time for some technical rounds.
Unexpectedly, it was my projects on GitHub they decided to use to fire me questions.

They went through my different code on GitHub and ask me questions. For example, the guy would enter a file and see a block of code somewhere, he would ask me to explain what the code was doing. Why I used that approach instead of another approach (which he would mention).

Omo me wey don forget why I write some code sef
However, I would do my best to explain to the best of my memory and knowledge.

I made sure the interview was as communicative as possible. I expressed myself a lot.

So after one hour, they finally relaxed me.
Now it was time for me to ask them questions. So I decided to ask about their product. What their product really do and what the aim was in the near future.

So yeah, interview process differs, the main thing is to give them a reason to employ you.

But as for DSA, well, that's different lol.
Not all companies use DSA, that must have been a very high paying job role.

They gave me a specific time they'd get back to me, so fingers crossed.

I wish you good luck chief and may their response favour you IJN.

Ayinke93:
Wish I could take all the breaks in the world, but I’m currently interning in two different places, front end dev at the first, Springboot and sql and the other one. And they both come with serious responsibilities. There’s no sugarcoating it really, it’s hard and the funny thing is, it doesn’t even get easier eventually. One just needs to get used to it.

Hello, I feel enlightened and inspired reading your story and I'm happy for you for doing what you love.

I'm a junior myself and I would be grateful if you can shed some light and give helpful advice based on your experience at the internships.

Firstly, what projects do you suggest a junior dev build to land a front-end role? Secondly, do you mind sharing how you went about landing the roles and your interview experience? Finally, do you mind sharing your portfolio and projects that you have built?

I know this a bit much to ask for but I'll be very grateful for your comments on these.

Many thanks!

frankfab:
I can relate with everything you said. I'm currently in this stage and have been procrastinating on writing.
Have few articles on hashnode, dev.to and medium.

I'm planning on writing 1 article per week from next month and would need accountability partner.

Hello,
I think we're in the same boat. Written a few articles already and I'm hoping I could find someone as a partner to speed up and improve my writing skills.

Do you mind having me as a partner? We could start a group for technical writers to share professional tips and helpful materials. The group will be strictly by invitation and we'll need some mechanism to verify if truly a prospective member is a valid author.

I await your reply, chief.

Congrats, chief

[quote author=Lastbornbuns post=112697618][/quote]Wow, very detailed and thank you for the swift response. I appreciate it

Hello everyone,
Please I need clarification on some questions as regards the Undergraduate NA. The reg for this year has began and I'd appreciate you taking your time to shed light on the process.

1. Is there going to be any verification on the exam day? If yes, what documents are required?

2. After the exam, what are the next steps? (I'll need a detailed explanation here because there're things like the Award Letter, the verification process).

3. Any other things the applicant is expected to do before payment after a successful application.

Again, I appreciate you taking your time to answer my questions.

Now these are people who have got the guts. I think we as a people need to learn how to hold our leaders accountable for their misbehaviours but unfortunately we Nigerians are always waiting on God for everything.
