truthCoder:
Let me ask you the following questions:

Have you managed or have been part of a large code repo before?

Have you used AI in code analysis, reviews and maintenance before?

Have you seen real life code issues on production codebase before (like say an attack ) and been part of the team that resolved it?

Have you written testable codes before?

Have you tested codes before?

Have you been part of a devops team before?

Finally, will you as a CTO guarantee that your codebase is in safe hands with an AI and thus sack your whole tech team?

While his reasoning is quite shortsighted,ChatGPT is really just the beginning. AI will be much more powerful and versatile in the nearest future. Even tech teams comprising of humans has people who set the overall vision, monitor and manage it. For lower roles,it's very possible AI will be a replacement.

ChatGPT:

As an AI language model, I don't have the capacity to judge a business idea or provide professional advice regarding it. However, I can provide general observations and suggestions based on what you shared:

1. The concept of an Uber for logistics/delivery is not new, as you mentioned. There are already a few established companies that operate on the same model, such as Postmates, Instacart, and Doordash. So, you will need to think about how your app will differentiate itself and offer a unique value proposition to users.

2. The subscription-based revenue model could work, but you will need to consider other revenue streams as well, such as taking a commission on each delivery or offering premium features to customers and agents.

3. Building an app from scratch will require a significant investment of time and money. You will need to have a clear plan on how to fund the development and marketing of your app and attract enough users to make it profitable.

4. Managing a network of delivery agents will come with its own challenges, such as ensuring quality control, managing disputes, and ensuring timely payments. You will need to have a robust system in place to manage these issues and provide good customer support.

Overall, the idea of an Uber for logistics/delivery is a promising one, but it will require careful planning, market research, and execution to make it successful. Good luck with your studies and future entrepreneurship endeavors!

Go to servicom there now. And explain the reason for missing your date.

servicom
Is that at the same passport office? Will the capturing go on despite missing my appointment or I will be rescheduled?
I can't afford to wait another two or three weeks for a rescheduled appointment date

Failure2019:
data science for sure.

I personally prefer data science,but I'm hearing no jobs just like his friend.

ekitimanalways:
This error means that there’s disparity between the data provided on your passport application form and NIN. I would advise you to visit the NIN office in your state for clarification and/or correction.

Abeg I missed my appointment date for capturing. Please what do I now?

yesloaded:
If the date given to you is not too long, I will advise you wait till then

These people have mood swing and they can push your file somewhere it will be difficult to locate

I'm not saying you should not go before the appointed date but it will be better if you go on the appointed date

Some people paid as much as 60k to 85k to so called agent but still waited till around 8pm before they captured while some were unable to capture due to error in the data

To make it soft, arrive as early as possible and keep like extra 1k for hand.

They will call you for verification, interview and all that.l then you will be prepared for capturing

Prepare your mind to spend the whole day at the place, some family member who submitted their document the same time got different capturing session, wife capture around 1pm while husband captured at past 8pm so just be prepared

All I shared here is 100% personal experience as I followed someone to the place last week & today

Note: PLEASE DONT GET ANGRY & NEVER ACT WOKE! They will try to frustrate you to have reason to chase you away but be calm

Abeg I missed my appointment date for capturing. Please what do I now?

Hopefully, including the part that said they're Biafrans and not part of Nigeria

tensazangetsu20:
Na he never did. Went into cyber security

Wow.
Isn't the job prospect for cyber security even worse than data science

hadelany:
I'm grateful I didn't make the wrong choice. A friend of mine introduced me to DS and i didn't delay by conducting research.

I came across ejiod post in my quest to know more about DS( I read more than half of his thread in the midnight. I completed it the same day).

Truth be told, I had wanted to study CS but found myself in Med lab.

Do I have any regret, I bet to say No.... Story for another day.

Currently, I'm taking a basic course in Python via edx (aside doing some other research work on YouTube and the rest).
If you're interested you can do that too.. Those guys are awesome.


I decided to settle for Python because it's more than fundamental to knowing DS, DA and many others (I will still learn R and some important programs too)


As much as I'm concerned, I'm taking the bull by its horn.

I'm thinking of doing same too. Abeg how have your journey been so far? Has it been worth it?

tensazangetsu20:
My own friend started learning data science in 2019. That was a year before I learnt coding. I have switched like 3 jobs now and he's yet to get the first data science one. I have told him to abandon that crap he said AI is the future. Future my ass. Person no go chop for present.

Abeg how far your friend ? Did he later get the data science job? I'm yet undecided wether to learn web development or data science.

Kaycee54321:
Very true too.

I also feel that it's because of how the Nigerian employers try their possible best to not give a F*CK about the programming mumbo jumbo.

I remember vividly, my very first job, I prepped a long ass Word Doc on my processes, talked about how we should integrate Jupyter so we can work on code and bla bla bla

The CEO met me on Monday morning and told me that all he's interested in is, whether he's winning or losing.

If he's winning, why?
If he's losing, why?

I jeje began to use Excel pivots and sweet BI dashboards and everybody was happy.

I've been reading similar posts like this on Reddit. It's the same thing abroad.

MrBiGGEST:
Since you're including the south south states in your Biafra map,don't you think having ministers from those places too will be good ? ... Or are their no volunteers?

So far in all the appointments,I've only been seeing Igbo names.

Dafresh:
All those advance countries have stable electricity, good health care system good roads everyone is equal

They wouldn't have gotten there with such policies like using a large fraction of it's revenue to pay for people's petrol.

Baddestguyp:
Because it is Nollywood abi...

But it's still far better than so many mid Hollywood movies this year and last year like Shazam 2, Black Panther 2, Thor love and Thunder, Black Adam, and probably Ant-Man 2 sef (I haven't seen Antman 2)

But you will watch these trash, but won't watch Nollywood to support your industry

Well,in the world of the blind the one eyed man is king. Based on Nollywood standards,then yes it went above the bar. Otherwise,the movie really isn't great.

jackest1:
Thanks
Alright, you can send a mail

Don't really get how that works. Here's my WhatsApp number: 08148622932.

Hello Nairalanders

I'm a self taught Mobile App Developer.
Please Review and check out this app i built with flutter.

Your reviews and suggestions are highly appreciated.

Playstore Link
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.julitech.jnotes

I've been using your app,it's pretty great 👍🏻

Anyways,I am an android app developer myself (pretty much a newbie).
I've essentially completed a file sharing app like xender,with some additional unique functionalities. Can i get your WhatsApp number please? I need some clarifications on setting up a Google play developer account,and the use of admob(if you're familiar with it).
I'll really appreciate.

Devdevdev:
Nonsense. You can't teach CSS in two weeks.

I've been learning to code for over 6 months and I haven't "learned" CSS. I've built lot of cool stuff and even accepted live projects from people on this thread:
https://www.nairaland.com/7534595/css-challenge-post-ui-ill

yet I still don't think I've "learned" CSS.

Stop deceiving people. It will take someone new to programming at least 1 month to be comfortable with the HTML and CSS syntax and then at least another one month to actually start learning how it all actually works.

You don't have to "master" a field before getting your hands dirty on major projects. Learning is a lifelong orocess. It took me less than three weeks to learn full stack development.

TheManOfTheYear:
So people, I've not really been active on here, I apologize, work wan kee me lol

Soon, I'd be leaving the country for the first time (for work), and I'm super excited. My passport and visa ready, I need to do a COViD result test a day before the team leaves. Tech can literally change one's life, but at the same time, it has been so challenging lol.

My mental health was tested many times , but so far so good, I've been faring well. Thank you Lord!

Is it the same salary you'd be getting when you travel?

PureMe01:
Seun and mynd44 will never see this

Helinues is an unrepentant night but he will meet his Waterloo


They will learn the bitter way by taking their properties by force?

☹️

Alphabyte2:
It is not compulsory to own a data center but big ISP have their own since we have many provider for data server like Google cloud, Azure,AWS no outage like the one experienced in Nigerian servers. He wants to build a mobile network like MTN , Airtel and Glo .

He was so not talking about building a mobile network

Do you have google play developer accounts?

Maclink288:
1 -2 years should be okay to start handling projects though.

However, learning never ends.

It took me two weeks and I started handling major projects

Wole Soyinka that went to prison because of them is being disparaged by the same people

Phoen1X:
Israel alone can nuke the arabs out of existence.... no 18 is mere statics meant to calm nerves (like yours ) down.

No one can nuke the Arabs out of existence,not even US or Russia. To do so would require the whole of humanity going extinct,and in a even more horrible manner. The "nuclear winter" is a thing. You only have to drop a nuke in Tell Aviv and most of the world's Jews will be gone– and that won't even be a new thing

Nonny95:
APC think they can white wash this armed robbery of an election by deploying Soyinka.😆😆😆.

The international media war has started dudes.

Noble Laurette vs Noble Laurette.

Of course,the sort of people ignorant enough to think there's another Nobel laureate in Nigeria.Na you dash chimamanda 😂
How many trumpists till today called his election rigged and petitioned heaven and earth, even led an insurrection that claimed lives– that is still fresh in his,and America's memories. Why do you think she'd be taken seriously over what he has so little knowledge of

mrvitalis:
Igbos rather have 1000 millionaires than have 1 billionaires

Pick any agent anywhere ask him for tribal identity of people who buy best houses , choice lands ,rent best houses then come back

Let's see the data, or everything you say is your opinion.

mrvitalis:
And this man is not even among top 200 richest Igbo man ooh

👏🏻

tboynaija:
Magic is real. I have had similar experience in India. A man that i met outside a shopping mall wrote down correctly what was in my mind... He asked my favourite colour, date of birth and where I had in mind to go after shopping and they were exactly what he wrote down in the paper, I was so shocked and scared at the same time.

Believe it or not,it's a trick.

Hakeem12:
Total BS, guy simply had inside info

He's a performative magician,it's not supposed to be real.

Gohs:
Have you never heard of Payoneer.com?!

They will give you USD bank account + EURO bank account (if you ask for euro)

You will receive direct deposit in USD.
You will receive direct SEPA transfer in EURO if you ask.

You will be given free virtual debit cards upon request.
Then you can use your card to buy crypto and exchange for Naira on binance.com or localbitcoinexchange.com

You will sell crypto at black market rate not bank rate.

It's legitimate, you can register on Payoneer.com with your voter's card, international passport or driver's license.

I don't get,why all these long process? Can't we just open a Dom account with a Nigerian bank

Why looking for rare,untested ideas. You can do the same thing others do,but offer a superb service than the shitty execution of the Nigeria finTech apps we currently have and you're good to go.

Wow
