FoodRe: The Noodles I organized as Dinner. by emmyN(m): 6:29am On Nov 05, 2022
Enimin:
Overcooked noodles

Why do you people cook noodles like rice, leaving it on the fire for execssive lengths of time.

You even crushed the stuff to mimic grains of rice, noodles aint rice. Ten minutes on the fire (gas) and you should be done
People got different taste buds. I like mine the way she presented it, and if you gave me your "properly cooked" noodles, I wouldn't eat it.

Thanks precious.
I followed instructions given to me not to stir fry that's how he likes his noodles.


If it's mine only I do stir fry.
I like my noodles soggy and dislike the stir-fry taste.

U cant use you naira card if the amount is above 20dollars for some banks....some banks dont even allow any foreign transaction at all..

That should explain my case too then. I use mastercard with first bank and tried to register on AWS yesterday but they said my preferred payment method was declined and asked that I contact my bank.

Yes it actually also checks when you look up things online through their in search engine and tells your employer what exactly you searched for. Please next time when taking another coding assessment. Use another laptop or tablet or mobile device if you intend to search anything.
Okay. Was actually surprised when it opened in a new tab. I think it was a glitch in the system, because the second time I did a search, it used the in-built browser to return the MDN result.
ProgrammingRe: See The Question I Was Asked During An Online Interview by emmyN(m): 8:02pm On Oct 16, 2022
tensazangetsu20:
Op I hope you didn't switch tabs when taking this test. We use coderbyte at the company I work for and I volunteered to take our recruitment test to gauge how fair it is to applicants and it practically takes a video of your screen. It also notifies how many times you leave the tab and if you copy or paste when you switch tabs it flags your answers for plagiarism which leads to an automatic rejection.
I took a coderbyte test on Friday and used the built in browser feature to look up some MDN documentation stuff. But when I clicked on the search result, it opened in a new tab. Could this be grounds for disqualification too?
EducationRe: ASUU Suspends 8-Month-Old Strike Conditionally - ChannelsTV by emmyN(m): 6:26pm On Oct 15, 2022
ignis:
Pathetic, now the court will keep postponing hearing and court session until a new government comes to power.
Exactly what I thought too. The court is being used as a tool to subvert Justice. How can you be renegotiating the same agreement over the course of 13 years, and each time there is a strike you make a promise to get them to call it off and abandon them afterwards? This is the situation with ASUU and the FG.
PoliticsRe: Malami: Nnamdi Kanu Discharged, Not Acquitted by emmyN(m): 4:52am On Oct 14, 2022
JASONjnr:
My only concern with this NK discharge case is his uncouthness.....

He will just come out and begin to kill Peter Obi's chances....

I hope he stays silence till after the election...

He will begin to say stupid things that will turn everyone against the entire campaign and support for Peter Obi.

The fear circles on the tribalistic nature of every Nigerian who are very quick to draw their judgement on tribal sentiments perceived.

I hope that PO wins this election...
I think a lot of persons are sold out on Obi's candidacy now, so there is very little Kanu can do to change that.
EducationRe: ASUU Suspends 8-Month-Old Strike Conditionally - ChannelsTV by emmyN(m): 4:49am On Oct 14, 2022
ignis:
On what ground did ASUU suspend the strike ?
ASUU keep suspending strike without any solution at sight.
They can't appeal the court ruling asking them to suspend unless they first suspend it. You can see the government have them boxed in a corner.

ProgrammingRe: Got Invited For A Senior Frontend Developer Interview. by emmyN(m): 5:57pm On Oct 08, 2022
jbreezy:
Yeah…it’s an onsite job actually.
It doesn't matter if it's on-site. Just doesn't make sense when you get invited for first stage assessment in person. In one of the interviews I rejected, the same invite was sent to over 100 persons for a small company that needs to fill just one role. It's better they do initial interviews and assessments online, then send in-person invites when you've gone far in the process.

Hardly anyone does physical interviews in tech except it's onsite whiteboarding interviews. Most interviews are virtual and can be done from ones room.
It's common with Nigerian companies. I've had to turn down two interview invites recently because of this.

ProgrammingRe: Java Internship Full Time by emmyN(m): 3:39pm On Sep 28, 2022
qtguru:
1 Year is okay, as long as you have done something with Java or at least know Java enough with Spring boot. training is expensive, so self-trained is more preferred, which is why BootCamps are sponsored to save companies the cost of training.
Sounds fair if they are all willing to take that approach.
ProgrammingRe: Java Internship Full Time by emmyN(m): 2:33pm On Sep 28, 2022

Entry level with basic Java Experience yes, but entry entry no.
Okay. The reason I asked is because most entry level positions at Nigerian companies are always requiring two to three years of experience. I wouldn't consider myself an entry level dev if I had three years experience.
ProgrammingRe: Java Internship Full Time by emmyN(m): 8:56am On Sep 28, 2022
qtguru:
It depends, for Nigeria both will get you jobs, but Java/Kotlin is a more relevant language because:

1. Java is more popular and established libraries Apache Commons
2. Android Dev and Spring boot at once
3. and other Java dialect platforms.

But I would advise picking Java so I can forward your resume to Interswitch they need a lot of Java Engineers.
Are they open to hiring entry level devs?

Anyway,i blame the lady
because the moment you make yourself become too available to a man he will never take you serious or even respect you cos he will start feeling that whenever he leaves you will definitely come crawling back

Nigerian men huh Godforbid!!!!!!!!!

You should always apply for jobs. Let them reject you, don't reject yourself
But the rejection mails now ehn... Once I see "Thank you for your application..." I don't bother to read further cheesy. I don't know what's with many tech companies and 3 years experience for entry level role. Formerly 3 years experience upwards were regarded Experienced Hires while zero years were GTs. The worse is the ones that want 3+ years experience and the pay is 150k. I will apply sha, at the least I will use them to learn how to interview cheesy

Na hin real hustle be dat...

The lecturing job is just a side hustle...

Same set of lecturers want 100% pay rise, dem no go show for class, only time u will see dem in class is when they are giving student course outline and the recommended text to use, after that maybe once inside examination hall sha and dem no go spend 5min sef , their project student don suffer, dem go call call call before dem submit a chapter, project wey no suppose last 2month, 6month, they are still on it...
U check them in their office, locked.. nobody can caution them, dem get long leg reach senate, enter ASUU, they are there when all the lecturer in the dept were appointed, u give them supervision, u don ridicule them, dem go reassign assistant lecturer to do am..
This same lecturers still wan make FG pay them for 6month of doing their side hustle...

U should check ur brain, if u think ASUU is not a bigger problem than the FG
I studied a five year course, and all through my stay my lecturers were committed to teaching their students save one in my 500 level. My good Prof and project supervisor died because he couldn't raise 2 million early enough to afford treatment for a spinal injury he sustained from a fall. My prof, an erudite scholar, drove an old mercedes benz and had been a professor for more than a decade before that time. Still think ASUU is the problem?

Na he applied through one of these job ads. If you pay attention banks are seriously recruiting tech-savvy people due to the high attrition rate. They have dropped grade requirements and even age requirements. Banks now even have boot camps to train people.
That would be a good way to go. I've seen a couple of them out there though, just skeptic about applying.

Use LinkedIn but you need to know how to speak their languages either Spanish or Portuguese as interviews are in those.
Ah, I'm not ready for that yet. Most of the job adds I saw were in english, so I supposed they had companies that used english mainly for their communications. I've tried Linkedin before though, but their job adds never pop up in my notification. I get the most notifications from companies in US, followed in close succession by those in UK, very few from Netherlands, and nothing from Mexico.

I am learning portugese at the moment and lemme see how it goes. The ease of permanent residency and citizenship is very attractive and no hassle to get visa.
How do you make your applications to firms there? Most I've tried on Angellist decline applications due to difference in timezones.
