Travel / Re: Can't Afford Study Route, Please Advise by DC49: 9:55am On Mar 09
MrAAA2:


Before we talk opportunities, lack of it thereof, one should be able to speak German up to B2 at least.
Without good German, the market size potential drastically reduce to up to 70%.

But blue collar and entry level IT is an open field ground.


English language IT roles there are really competitive at this point. Vacancies with English regularly have over a 100 applications on LinkedIn unlike the German ones. So even in IT, your life will be 10 times easier if you can speak German.

I'm hoping to start applying by July when I have B2. No need to waste my time on it now.

buildlogichub:
Please note that before applying for the visa appointment I had already received an approval from the responsible alien authority in Köln. My employer applied for the fast track procedure since June 2023 and we completed the process in November.

Why did the pre-approval take so long? I saw somewhere on Reddit that it should be a maximum of 2 weeks. Did they need to apply for ZAB recognition for your certificates?

Travel / Re: How Oluwaseun Olaniyi Fawale Scammed People Of Of Over 46.5m For Canada Visa. by DC49: 11:00am On Nov 30, 2023
Nigerians will always be prone to agent scams because we find it difficult to research and read on our own.

I will always maintain that no one needs an agent for visa processing. Everything you need to know is on the embassy websites and online forums. All you need to do is to spend a few weeks on research, then compile all the required documents and apply.

If you meet the requirements they'll give it to you, if you don't they won't. There's no real shortcut about it.

The only alternative is to risk losing your hard earned money is this difficult economy.

Hello everyone. I applied for ZAB degree evaluation early this month and hope to start the job search by February when the recognition document comes in.

I want to get insights from those who have previously gone through the job search and work visa process. Sorry I've gone through the thread, but most of the recent posts are on family reunions.

Some of my questions are:
- What is the current job market like for IT workers? I have about 4 years of experience in backend development working primarily with Python and Rust, along with some open-source contributions. What are my chances? German knowledge is currently at A1, but I hope to complete an A2 course before February.

- How long is the current wait time for Blue card applications?

- Anything else one should take note of.

Also, if I can get an internal referral from anyone working there, I'd really appreciate it.

Romance / Re: My Broke Girlfriend Is Draining Me. Advice Me. by DC49: 1:54pm On Sep 30, 2022
Faber:


When Trump became President, he said " He is putting America first" Maybe in his 2nd term he will begin to reason other countries like those in persecution in Africa. That's why he never went to war with any other country. He worked for Americans first. Little did he knew he will not be re-elected. Today Americans are clamouring for his return. Had it been he focused on war, maybe with North Korea, Iran, Syria etc, forgetting his home, his country first. Americans will forever hate him.

Bros in life, put your interest and that of your family first. I will not spend any dime I will use to keep on building up my self like a skyscraper on a lady. Bros in no distant time, you will run out of resources (though I pray heaven keeps opening doors of money to you) she will still leave you. Only those whom their money long keep funding their babe continuously. If all your resources are gone, where will you fall back to raise money to keep yourself at the top in the dating market.

As it stands now, if my relationship crash right now, it's a matter of 24hrs, I will be with a super beautiful new girlfriend, unless I decide to take a break. This is because I think of myself first. Should I exhaust my pocket meeting the demands of my girlfriend, my wardrobe suffers, my home is not updated with the latest gadgets, my face and physique detoriates, how will I meet up, if am served breakfast. grin grin

Before I spend on my girlfriend, I always make sure my needs are already settled then, I consider her...don't be afraid of losing her. If she leaves you because you fail to meet her needs, that's enough reason, for you to be happy, because she will still leave in the future.

Donald Trump said: " Whatever you do, think of your God, your family, your country"
He no mention babe o grin grin

Let's take a look at Donald Trump's life, he divorced his first wife, but he keeps investing in himself, became a billionaire and a president. When he was sworn in one of the hottest blondes was standing beside him as his wife.

Look at President Putin, divorced his wife, only relating with his daughters. Pursuing his dreams of making Russia dreaded among other nations.

Look at Aliko Dangote divorced his wife, and focused on his refineries and big projects.

Look at Bill Gates, divorced his wife and keep focusing on his Microsoft.

Look at Jeff Bezos, divorced his wife Scott, later bought Twitter and is now into Space. His wife remarried and just divorced her new husband two days ago. grin grin

Look at Romans Abrahamovic, divorced his wife and is building up steel companies and buying football clubs and investing.

Look at Kanye west, immediately he became a billionaire, he allowed Kim to go, Kim got another boyfriend and she don leave that one, looking for way to come back to Kanye West.

Look at Elon Musk, omo, he get like 3 ex wives.

Look at Mandela, his first wife left him

Look at Buhari, his first wife left him, today he is president, name any sitting governor whose wife fine pass Aisha Buhari. Even Buhari use his mouth tell you, woman belong in Kitchen and in the oza room grin grin

Look at Atiku, Atiku dey marry base on his interest, if he wants to run for Cameroun Presidential seat now, expect Atiku to marry a lady from that side. Also bear in mind that he don divorce his Igbo wife lawyer, that one was stubborn and Atiku allowed her to go.

Women dey serve big men breakfast talk more of little peasants like us.

Big men, and men destined to change the world, keep letting women go. You will always get a woman, far good in bed, far good in the kitchen, far good in keeping money, more prayful etc than your present partner. The only woman that is irreplaceable is your mum. Others can come and go.


The case of Mauro Icardi. Mauro Icardi snatched His fellow Argentine team mate Maxi Lopez wife in the person of Wanda Nara. According to legends Wanda Nara can Bleep 10 times in a day, and gives Icardi blow jobs every night.

Icardi latter tattooed Maxi Lopez's kids with Nara on his body, this didn't go down well with Lopez, but he kept his cool.

Last year Wanda Nara wanted to dump Icardi, Icardi focused on pleasing the babe, he signed off all his assets to her, made her his agent. While the likes of Messi and Neymar, na their papa be their agent. Icardi's career nose dived. His former coach a folllow Argentine is no longer at PSG, the new PSG coach, decided he is not in his plans. Today he is now playing in Turkey. While his Argentine mates Dybala, Di Maria, Messi are still in Europe playing in the top flight leagues.

Guess what, Wanda Nara divorced him two weeks ago. She is now posting the pictures of her former husband on her profile with their kids.

Wasted money, wasted dreams, wasted years cannot be gained again. But you see pussy, pussy is always available.

Thanks for your sound advice. This is all I needed to hear today.
Programming / Re: Learning Backend Web Development by DC49: 9:05am On Feb 26, 2022
It'll be a little bit difficult for you to get into backend if you're a complete newbie, but that doesn't mean it's impossible.

The first thing you'll need is the desire to learn. From your write-up I see you have that already, so go and learn the basics of HTML and CSS. Don't go too deep, and leave JavaScript since your target is not frontend.

When you're done with that, get the Python Crash Course book by Eric Matthews. It'll teach you everything you need to know about Python. Also learn how to use git and GitHub then start pushing your code, and use leetcode once in a while to practice data structures and algorithms.

After this, go to YouTube and search for Denis Ivy. He has a lot quality Django videos where you'll get a chance to learn Django while building real life projects. When you feel you're comfortable with normal Django, about 50% of your journey is complete.

Backend devs usually build APIs and the normal Django is more suited for a monolithic app, so you'll need to learn Django-rest-framework. It's a library that helps you build rest APIs with Django. Go to their website. They have a very good documtation. You can also check a few YouTube playlists on that.

When you're done, build a to-do API to help you practice CRUD operations. Go a little bit further and add user accounts creation and login to help you practice authentication.

At this point you're almost ready. Go to the tutorial section of the FastApi website and learn that too. It's very self explanatory. When you're done, build that to-do API again with FastAPI.

At this point you're almost ready to be hired. What is left is Docker. All of the places I've worked at use it for containerization. Get a video on YouTube that explains how to use it. When you're done, containerize the two backends you made above.

After this, look for a complex project you can think of. Maybe an ecommerce or social media app. Build the backend, containerize it and deploy on digital ocean or AWS. Here you'll get the chance to learn about nginx, SSL and general server management.

If you can dedicate 3 - 5 hours every single day to this, I expect you should complete that curriculum within 6 to 8 months. Practice on leetcode, set up your LinkedIn profile and start applying for jobs. Make sure your GitHub shows that you're active because that is very important for someone starting out. Push code everyday!

Family / Re: The Harsh Things Your Wife Has Ever Told You. by DC49: 5:47pm On Nov 19, 2021
Useku:
This is always the case when a guy loses his job or business.

Action plan, apply for your 25% pension fund.

Start a biz immediately, no matter how small.

Channel all your energy on the biz and provide only feeding allowance for now while your wife takes other bills or fork off from your house.

If your below 40 try searching for another job but if your above 40 face the biz squarely and grow it.

Lesson

If you got a job under 30, ensure you get a land on the outskirt of your city and fight to build at least a miniflat before spending any rubbish money on wedding!

Take a loan, suffer, but have a place you can hibernate in the event of any unfortunate incident.

Wives are never good back up plans,they will definitely desert you when life gets tough!

Don't spend a dime on marriage until you have secured yourself!

And if you are already married now with a working spouse, cut your current family expenses, force your wife to pick bills while you hurriedly get a small house for the family.

Any woman wet no gree cooperate,discard her sharply.

If you sacrifice your all,and nothing to fall back on,woman go abuse you,leave you when better option shows up while you fit develop bp,stroke and finally poof.

Stay woke bras!

Happy international men day!




Best advice ever!

I just observed this on Binance P2P, and I don't know what to think of it. USDT is selling for about 490 Naira, so why would someone want to buy for above 600 Naira? The funny part is that these accounts seem to be pretty well established with lots of trades and high completion rates. Am I missing something?

Programming / Re: What Does It Take To Build A Robust E-commerce Platform Like Ebay And Jumia? by DC49: 7:17pm On Apr 12, 2021

Thanks for your response.
Do you have experience in managing and sourcing a team for a project like this?

Unfortunately I'm a developer, and I know very little about management. I think you'll need a professional project manager for this.

Programming / Re: What Does It Take To Build A Robust E-commerce Platform Like Ebay And Jumia? by DC49: 2:47pm On Apr 12, 2021
Something that huge will need a team unless you don't mind waiting a while for a single developer to build it up.

Ideally the team should consist of 3 members, with a UI/UX designer to design the wireframes and user interface, a frontend developer to build the frontend, and a backend developer to handle the back-end. However the team can consist of 2 or 1 member(s) if any of the members can handle more than one area, but the delivery time will most likely increase. The advantage here is that it'll be relatively cheaper.

As for the technologies, the common ones are Figma/Adobe XD/etc for the UI/UX, Angular/React/Vue for the frontend development, and Django/NodeJS/laravel/etc for the backend. I must add that the technology stack really doesn't matter. It all depends on what the developer is most comfortable with.

Finally the cost. I'm sorry to burst your balls here, but I don't think you can get something the quality of Jumia and Ebay for cheap. Don't let anyone deceive you.
My rough estimate is that this whole platform may have upto 60 pages which could cost above 100k for the UI/UX alone.

The actual cost of course will depend on the people you're working with and their experience level.

Programming / Re: Angular Bug Bounty by DC49: 5:30am On Jan 30, 2021
Karlebolu:


I have looked into the matter. grin

I think the problem is coming from profileDataResolver. Espcailly the this.profileService.getProfileData() method.

In the profileService class, you have two apiUrl and imageApiUrl variables.

I am guessing the ones you commented out are the ones you intend to use in production. Are you sure you swapped them.
As in, did you comment out the ones with localhost and uncomment the real API url in production?

Aside that, do you have the authorization to consume the APIs?


Also, in your profile.home.component.ts


// the version below is used on live server
// this.profilePhoto = data['profileData'].profile_photo
// this.coverPhoto = data['profileData'].cover_photo


did you uncomment the bolded and comment out the ones you used in development.

I also think you should make your development environment as close as possible to your production environment.

I want to believe this is a pet project. Why not get your data from a single source all through?

Thanks for looking into it. During my tests I'm reasonably sure I swapped the variables, but I'm going to redeploy it this afternoon to recheck.
Also I have the right permissions to access the API. It's a software I developed personally.

I'll provide an update after I redeploy.

Romance / Re: Fulani Women Wanna Marry Southern Guys by DC49: 9:43pm On Dec 22, 2020
7victor:


My brother let me tell you the truth, the whole truth and nothing else but the truth:

You don't need to even talk about hausa/Fulani Muslim ladies.

There are so many hausa/Fulani Christians ladies in the core north that you can marry as a southern man.

In fact they are so many that you should not even consider marrying a Muslim.

Where I stay,on a Sunday morning in the school chapel, 99 percent of the hundreds of students who come for fellowship are Fulani Christians.

Then you go to universities, polytechnics and colleges of education chapels and see thousands of young fresh Fulani males and females Christians.

So many of the ladies are single and would readily agree to marry you.

So it is up to anyone who wants a Fulani lady.

Just go up North and marry a sister in Christ and you will not regret it.


Wow cool...
Where do you stay?

xammax:
Hi guys,

So i have an idea I want to work on, then apply for seed funding from VC's I've been able to gather unfortunately for most VC's you need a technical cofounder.

...And besides, we'll need to develop the MVP (minimum viable product) of which I can't do myself because I'm not a programmer. I've contemplated learning programming but that will take me at least 1 - 2 years to be fully good at it.

So I've been thinking of searching for a technical cofounder ( who will develop the MVP) but deciding on equity is another issue. A lot of technical cofounders would want a higher equity which is kinda difficulty to grant.

On the other hand, I thought of just paying software developers to have the MVP developed but moving forward I'll still need a technical cofounder who is a programmer.

Now my question is, how can I find a technical cofounder who'll develop the MVP or should I just pay to have the MVP developed?

I'm actually on the lookout for a potentially scaleable idea to invest my skills in. You can reach me on Whatsapp let's talk. Contact is on my signature.
Programming / Re: Backend Software Engineers, Let's Talk About System Design by DC49: 6:41am On Dec 06, 2020

In my case I would use a decoupled architecture. That is, separate the front-end from back-end and host them separately.
Front end would be an Angular app hosted on firebase, while back-end would be a Django Rest API hosted on Google App Engine with auto-scaling support to handle traffic surges.
I'd utilize a caching system like Memcached to reduce load on the back-end server, store the user generated contents like media files on a separate file storage service like Amazon S3 or Google Cloud Buckets, host the database separately on Google Cloud SQL, and finally use a CDN like Cloudflare.
This setup would be expensive though, but for a platform that gets such a huge amount of requests I'm certain the owner would be able to afford it.

Try freelancing. There's a demand for React/Angular developers right now. Set up accounts on upwork and peopleperhour, and also talk to people around you. At some point, you'll meet someone who knows someone that needs something.

You can also check around your city for any web development agency. From my experience, they usually don't have more than 2 developers in their team, so schedule a visit with the manager and offer your services as a freelancer/subcontractor for whenever they need extra hands/skills on a project.

You can also use Google maps to lookup local businesses in your area that don't have a website. Even if they can't afford to pay well, atleast you'll get your name out there.
