What's going on ? how's 2023 on Upworks ?

2023 so far

While a lot of people are talking down the OP, I think he is making some salient points. The need to standardize and professionalize the field. Back in the dark ages “surgeons” were roadside apprentices to other “surgeons” who had also learnt surgery “on the streets”. After plenty failed “butchering”, surgery had to be professionalized.

Think about it, would you have a self-trained doc diagnose and treat you? Would you allow a self-trained engineer build your house?

Edit:
On the flip side though, some of the greatest frauds have been performed by the best trained professionals. Enron quickly comes to mind

Actually he makes no point and I didn't want to have to feed the troll by adding a comment to his thread

Professional fields are standardized for a reason, so people have a reference point, an assurance of quality of some sort not because any of those fields can't be learnt outside the boundaries of a standardized institution. Even medicine can be learnt by just picking up and reading the books and then trail and error with patients but that is costly, inefficient and dangerous.
Same with every field out there, it can be learnt and everyone can be a self-taught anything they want.

Even CS has standards, the degree, oracle cert, AWS, GCP certs, Salesforce admin cert etc. Some jobs require them and some don't.
The field is standardized and the reason self-taught get jobs is because the companies don't care for the certs but the knowledge.

It becomes annoying when someone who is neither an employer of labor or a certified professional in the field creates such a thread. Like? How exactly does someone so insignificant in the CS gets to decide who the gates are closed to


Final words: AI will take all our jobs anyway, so what's the point.

Please, apart from the payment I will make for my phone and the cost of shipping in AliExpress app... Am I going to make another payment when the phone arrives Nigeria? Like custom and all that or even at the post office where I will collect my item?

That's based on luck

My phone came in without any issues though, #500 at Nipost

aieromon:
If it is a registered package, go and check your local PO.

If it is unregistered, relax and wait.

People still go to Nipost without a call or text?

11.11 order still never reach me. 5 more day would make it 2 months in transit

Aliexpress is not for the weak

Riverpod doesn’t depend on context but stays at the very top of the widget tree, wrapping even MyApp() in a ProviderScope widget.

Since it owns the whole building instead of being a co-tenant, it logically seems not to be fighting against the tree.

RiverPod 2.0 is out and even better.

I chose RiverPod because it was developed by the guys who actually built Provider and its seen as a ‘correction’ of the ‘lapses’ that they noticed.

I heard a lot of Flutter devs just stick to ChangeNotifier() and deploy jejely. I dont like leaks and vulnerabilities which is why I believe variables should not just be everywhere not needed.

I consider myself a greenhorn in Flutter.

My choice of RiverPod might not be the best and i would gladly appreciate if the professors and deans of Flutter here can advise on the best package in this regards.

I'm yet to try Riverpod because when I wanted to, the docs was bad and the code never worked, pre-1.0. I hear its better now but my current codebases use other state management solutions.

I prefer Bloc for its maturity. Its been tested trusted and works well. Plus VGV maintains it so I have every confidence in it.

Although Remi is a beast so eventually I think Riverpod will grow to be the mainstay state management like Provider has become if people can get comfortable using custom stateless widgets instead of the normal one

I wonder if Riverpod solved the issue of side effects like Bloc does with BlocListener. When you want to make a UI call, say show a toast when a particular state change occurs. In provider, I had to setup streams. Any idea if riverpod has a solution for that?

Your JAMB score actually inspired me, unfortunately I fell 18 points short, lol(made 302)
My school is actually Rivers State University
Thanks for your kind wishes

Congrats in advance. With that score, RSU is sure. I'm also guessing you're an indigene which should seal it for you

Clinton39:
Am an aspirant actually, I initially applied UNIPORT but changed due to the aforementioned strikes.
I learnt about you when I was reading through the thread, you are an inspiration.

oh! I see. Well Uniport is a nice school and the strike go reach everybody las las except some states schools and private universities, so its best you learn to embrace it.

There are times you would pray and hope for the strike and it would come save you. Don't worry, you'll understand later

Also, not sure what about me is inspiring but I do hope your application is successful

Clinton39:
Boss, I hail you oo
How has UNIPORT been to you??

It's been alright. ASUU wan kill person with back to back strikes else I for dey final year by now

I don't recall your moniker, which school and level?

I had great help here then and should offer same

What's the cost of paying for guarantor at the PH office

Is it required that the Guarantor has an international passport?

I'm in port-harcourt, send a mail amaechi.chukwuebuka1@gmail.com

You can simply search how to do that on google and get many different implementation from stackoverflow

The basic idea is create an array called cart, and add or remove products from it. You might need to persist the cart, then the implementation for that would depend on which backend you're using, and if its using sessions or RESTAPI.

Either way, since you didn't provide any context, simply google your problem, hopefully you'll find better answers

Hello, can someone point me to a link or relevant page outlining the steps for UTME registration

Also, how much is the total expenditure and when is the closing date?

Thank you

This is an open question to developers and the general public

What do you think is a better monetization model for the Nigerian society considering the economic challenges.

I understand that a lot depends on the demographics and other factors but generally, what would you go for?

1. A low-cost monthly subscription model

2. A one-time payment model

3. Advertisement(Free)

Interesting discuss anticipated. I feel I am underestimate the purchasing power of Nigerians but I might be wrong

Do you have UI mockups and a backend ready?

Nice.... which font is that by the way?

I've downloaded the freecodecamp javascript video, tho it's 3hrs long, I'm still in one hour
I put the video at the end but how he ended it didn't seem like he did some projects or is that just one of the videos?

there's no way you'll learn everything from one 3hrs video

take the parts he taught and build projects yourself or just watch another video on a project

it would help to see snippets of the API docs and what you're sending

For some reason people run away from official documentations which are pretty good especially for recent frameworks and well established ones

This is the best place to start is https://developer.android.com/

Java or Kotlin? I'll leave that to experienced devs
