I hope she won't steal from herself

Hardgun:
That's very bad telling your husband to wash plate

What is bad in washing a plate?

A broke man is a dangerous man, he felt insulted because he is jobless and broke.

A man who is assured in himself will not be offended helping to wash plates in a business that is literally feeding his family.

Biafra or nothing. Opportunity to restructure was maybe 10 years ago.

Foolishness of the average black person is unlimited. Here you are wife of one of the most powerful men in Nigeria.

God has given your husband power, to create jobs and improve the life of the people. Your husband has clearly failed in conjunction with the rest of the political class and all you can do is pray?

May God answer your prayers and get rid of all you politicians

When justice is perverted, chaos reigns

No matter the severity of crime , every human deserves a presumption of innocence.

My only worry is that our justice system is a joke
and usually goes to the highest bidder.

Baba Ijesha could be as guilty as charged still walk free if he pays the right people.

Black people are indeed close to apes, may God help us

Nnamdi Kanu predicted this turn of events, at least 6 years ago

I was in an interview training last week and it is interesting to see how companies in Canada view candidates vs the Nigerian perspective.

For example in my training, we were specifically told that dressing does not have any bearing on work performance. I am not advocating going to an interview in dirty clothes but if you think about it, what does it matter if you are dressing in a suit or you rock up in shorts?

For full disclosure, I work in IT, so maybe we just do not care how people dress

I do agree that both the interviewer and the candidate should be on time for the interview.

When I was in Nigeria my experience was that interviewers, rarely ever were on time and most were very unprofessional and rude.

You still dont understand the problem, most of these terrorists nicknamed bandits to make mild their criminal activities are mostly not Nigerians. They are fulani murderers invited into the country by the Kaduna state government to destabilize the country.

Imagine a Nigeria with a GDP of $60,000 per capita, do you really think we would entertain terrorist's?

Haven't you noticed that terrorism thrives exclusively amongst poor people in poor countries?

DubaiLandLord:
I fully agree with you.

You can come up with the most severe deterrent you wish but if we don't solve the underlying problem that has exacerbated this issue which is years of mismanagement and mass impoverishment of Nigeria, it won't make any difference l.

Not true

Don't mind black people

Ole na racist nah shey ighalo no better than martial during that time

So Martial is white abi? Or maybe Rashford is white ?

Umahi well done oo, Fulani slave

Esseite:
Good gesture but tp what end?.. what is the longevity of this?. N325m would set up a Nigerian renowned factory in that community that would employ and feed those families for life directly and indirectly.. bags of grains or maize would always finish and they would return back to square one..

The Govt should start an initiative.."One factory per village", it would be indigenous, most specifically and restricted on the major raw material/produce of that village/community for cost effectiveness.. that is the only way to get the manufacturing mantra kick started. Alongside rapid development of rural areas..

Wisdom will not keh you. We have a class of leaders that think sharing money will make up for years of underdevelopment and deliberate impoverishment.

Sexual displicine is important in life

Na them them.... the men that destroyed Nigeria. All of them from A....Z

Black people, this is what we are discussing in this age

Golan007:


By scientific method.

How do people know there's heaven and hell?

You do know that it is approximate. Not saying it js wrong but it's not exactly science.

Why is it not 70, 140, 543 years?

What Stack ? I am curious to know which stack depending on the country, nice one and hoping to get insights from you

Frontend: Typescript, React, GraphQL
Backend: clojure
Database: Postgres, MongoDB


I am fluent in Java, Python, Clojure,JavaScript and PHP

I am Senior Software Engineer based outside of Nigeria. It has always been my goal to help mentor younger engineers to be better and thrive in a society that is out to frustrate young folks.


Feel free to ask me any thing, I will do my best to answer in reasonable time. Anyone I do not know , we will find out together.

You create a website in 10 mins , or you can create one in 1 year.

It depends on the features, and the resources to implement said features

Tech is honestly the best industry to get into right now. The opportunities are numerous. Almost every job vacancy out there is tech this tech that, developer this and developer that. I stayed in school for 4 years studying for a useless engineering degree and I have never in my life seen a vacancy for the rubbish I studied but there are tech roles every day. But in spite of so many jobs in tech, a lot of new developers struggle to get opportunities. I started being active in the tech community recently and I am meeting developers who have been coding for 5 to 7 years but have never had an opportunity. Talking with them has led me to discover that it's actually not the tech industry but a few of the reasons I am listing below.

1. You follow the trends: A lot of us developers love to focus on the sexy trendy stuff. Newsflash, what is sexy and trendy isn't used and even when used is used by very few companies. So millions of people who have struggled to learn the sexy stuff are all going to fight for those few roles out there. Take for example the latest coolest CSS framework tailwind. It's really cool and hyped up and it's like the go-to framework right now but the thing is in the industry people are still using bootstrap. People are learning tailwind but they don't know the number one CSS framework out there. Just because something is cool and sexy doesn't mean that everyone is going to switch to it overnight.

If you give junior developers a chance between Angular, React, and Vue. A lot of people are going to pick Vue. They will say it's sexy and cool and has a ton of GitHub stars. There are jobs using Vue but they are so few compared to React and Angular that you would be pigeonholing yourself by learning that. Theres a whole of difference between coding for fun and coding to get a job.

2. You have unrealistic expectations: This is something I usually see on Reddit cscareerquestions but it seems to becoming a norm amongst everybody. People believe that if your salary isnt starting at 100k USD a year or you dont work for a tech company, you arent a developer. Its so elitist and unfortunately a lot of developers in Nigeria are beginning to have this mindset. They learn HTML, CSS, JS. They have built absolutely no projects but because someone said you need the knowledge of DSA to get a job they immediately start grinding leetcode day and night with the hope of getting into Google. You learnt to code from a Udemy course and you really want to compete at DSAs with people who went to MIT. People who have been doing competitive programming since 5 years old. People who get gold medals at the international olympaids of informatics like its nothing. . Funny enough, I also had this mindset when I was learning to code but corrected myself later on. The truth is that not every tech job out there tests with DSA or needs knowledge of DSA and not everybody must work for a big tech company. This reasoning is so flawed. It is like saying every lawyer must work for law firms like wale olanipekun and co or every engineer must work for exxonmobil. There are a ton of jobs that will pay you well as a junior developer like really well and you need not struggle to get them. They wont test you with DSA. They would only look at the complexities of your projects and go through them with you. By well paid I am talking of 500k and above. Ask yourself how many people asking you to do DSA in Nigeria have not yet worked at Google. There are even whatsapp groups dedicated to DSA and if you cant solve one you are kicked out. The person giving you DSA is not working at Google or Facebook hmm give yourself a brain o.


3. You do not know how to cut off the bullshit from social media: There's so much information out there today but if you don't know how to cut off the bullshit from what you need, you would waste your time. A lot of influencers and creators are putting information out there for themselves. They follow the algorithms and put out what is going to give them the most value in terms of money for their time. If I put out WordPress content, nobody will watch it but if I go out there and make MERN stack tutorials I would be getting millions of views but to be truthful you do not need the MERN stack as a junior. No one is using MongoDB in prod. Very few websites use Nodejs. You are just limiting yourself with that. If you want to be a full stack developer look at things like C# and Java springboot. Those pay really really well and there are even certifications you can acquire in those frameworks that can help get you opportunities at enterprise companies that use them especially if you don't have a computer science degree.

4 Your projects are not worth paying for: People put out calculators, todo lists, tictactoe games and a lot of bullshit on their portfolio and wonder why they aren't getting interviews. You have applied for 100 jobs and haven't been called back and you absolutely do not know the reason why. Nobody is going to hire you with a to-do list and a calculator on your portfolio. Even if you get an interview, is a calculator something you are going to show your interviewer. What happened to making a social media application, a chat application, a blog, an analytic tool, a dashboard. Something that people actually use in the real world every day. I remember one of the first interviews I have, one of my projects was a payment application I used paystacks API for. Everything was done with HTML, CSS and Javascript and once my interviewer saw the project and the button I used to connect the API, he made an offer to me immediately. Your projects matter especially as a beginner. One solid project is better than 100 garbage projects.

5 You don't research: Honestly, in this tech thing, I take what everyone is saying as bullshit. The senior developer I work with an Australian guy was telling me to learn web assembly if I really want to get a job with visa sponsorship which I so desperately need. I am tired of remote especially doing it from this shithole zoo of a country. I went to Linkedin Jobs and various countries indeed websites and I couldn't even see up to 500 jobs total in web assembly. Why would I waste time learning something that has no jobs because it might be relevant in ten years. Nodejs came out in 2009 and it is still not relevant in 2021. What is the probability that web assembly will be relevant in 2031. Research. When people tell you to learn a technology. Go to linkedinjobs and indeed and check how many jobs exist for that technology worldwide. People always advise you from their own point of view but the point of view of a senior developer in America, Europe or Australia is not the same for you a junior developer in the world's poverty capital.

Tech pays provided you do it right men.

Teach people to learn how to learn that is what software engineering is all about. You have to keep learning things .

Saying NodeJs or MongoDb is irrelevant is myopic, however I do agree that the job market should help junior developers optimize their learning.

RemiAbdulSamad:


Boss your posts are always informative and eye opening.

Am learning to be a front end developer. Here are what I've learnt so far:

1. HTML
2. CSS
3. Sass
4. Bootstrap
5. JavaScript.

Am still learning JavaScript.

Once am done with Vanilla JavaScript, I hope to pick Vue or React.

I will like to learn Figma for UI/UX design. I'll like to be a front end developer and UI designer to increase my chance of getting a job.

Have a look at my portfolio = https://abdulsamad.xyz

Thanks boss

I will pick React over the other frameworks. There are more opportunities in React .

Also add Next.js

The dunking on DSAs is hilarious. Studying DSAs helps developers form a strong foundation that will serve them well throughout their career.

In my list of things to know to be a great dev.

1. Basic DSA , understand BigO.
2. Learn how to write clean code that someone else or you can read when you want to add a new feature in 6 months.
3. Learn how to breakdown a problem in pseudocode, that is without any programming language.
4. Learn and object oriented language
5. Learn a functional programming language.
6. Have a basic understanding of databases, SQL and NoSQL, when one makes sense over the other

It will be easy for you to pick up any new language or tech, when you have a strong foundation.

^ This was exactly what I was advocating but hmmm, a story for another day. I am currently a Lead Engineer in my present role and I don't even wish it on anybody, lol. The title sounds nice, but the workload is insane as I am responsible for any slight infrastructural breakdown that came thru codes. I have but only 2 eyes, so while I still churn out codes, I have to make sure the codes churned out by other teammates pass our CI/CD checkmarks. Most times I catch the bugs, a whole lot of times I fail to, requiring unplanned hotfixes. QA sucks by the way.
However, some people have opined that you don't need DSA unless you want to work at Google and Facebook which I find very, uhh, misleading and sad. I tried to correct that opinion, but the backlash since I have never worked at Google et al, I need to keep shut, hehehe
Then someone once said he has never seen an app built by a Nigerian that was bug-free. While that was over-bloated, cos no app is bug-free, but you get the idea. It all starts with these baby steps of no DSA and then it becomes problematic. Personally, I am trying to shift the culture back to how apps were built pre-flashy frameworks, where you gotta account for the craziest of tasks such as memory utilization and variable eviction.
Would you rather write bad codes and have money in your pocket as fast as you can or you would rather go hungry for a while but then hit your target.
The story long sha.

You need to change the process , no one can work like this efficiently for long.

If you don't need performance optimisation why do you want to go back to memory management? Does that help you solve a business problem?

What do you mean nobody is using mongodb in production
Something I used this week

This where I begin to question the credentials of who is making this claim. I work for a company that uses mongoDB with over 2 million read and write ops per day
