Hello Foodies/Chefs!!

With Joy in my heart, I wish to announce to you guys that I am now a Pastry Chef. I graduated on Thursday.
Culinary School was hard for me but local boy scaled through. There were times i requested for deferment but peeps kept encouraging me and boosting my weakened morale.

Thanks all for your kind words. Next stop is Cuisine chef course...I don't know when but it will happen by God's grace.. Amen!

The fruit tart was my exam work.
Crust (dough) was made with Pâté sableé dough, filling was a combination of Lemon curd and strawberry compost. Topping Swiss meringue mixed with pastry cream. strawberry and banana slices.
Congratulations my dear, I wish you more and more success

Lol I don't know if it's that I'm not passionate enough or I'm too 'comfortable' at the moment. But yeah it's definitely something to reconsider

ok, you can teach me delegates then grin , about work - is ur firm into embedded systems or some kind of automation (asked because of c++).
Embedded systems

Lol I’d say check out pointers in c++ for a similar concept but it would probably confuse you more

Cool cool

Hey can you let me know what you actually do on a day to day basis in your job? If I can recall correctly, you work with C/C++?
Mixture of things, but mainly:
Write code to create software applications (mainly for windows), the system I work with is pretty established already so I’m not really creating anything big or exciting, I do more modifying than ’creating’ to be honest
General system testing
Documentation
Installation and integration testing
Some networking

Lol. Not in Northern Nigerian though. There are a handful of broke men there with more than one attractive wife.
Most don’t even have an opportunity at formal education, they’re limited by their system in probably every way possible except being impregnated

I don’t know the details, but I’ve heard that a a good portion of the world is semi lactose intolerant, which apparently means you have trouble digesting this specific thing called lactose, that’s commonly found in dairy products. I’m not a medical expert however, I just heard that it’s allegedly pretty common

Hmmm. Maybe, bt to learn it to the extent I want and the scope of what I want might take years.

Hacking, mobile apps, website design and blockchain programming and maybe some others. I already gave up, only waiting for a time when I could employ a team and make a design and they program it. I know that should work out too.

Programming is very involving. Only for those who have passion for it. But I always feel most programmers are underpaid except for CEOs who were able to create a money well for themselves like Cloud Mining Bezos, Facebook, Google guys, Microsoft etc
Yeah it takes time to learn. If you have the plan and funds to hire someone else to do it, why not I guess

It's becoming quite a saturated market to be honest, most run of the mill and just doing it for the sake of having a job, which is fine and what most of us end up doing

And then you'll have those who are super passionate, patient, dedicated and a million miles better than the former, naturually they tend to earn the most

Respect! I wish I were you. smiley.

Coding is the new oil well. Some guys from Russia designed a smart contract program on Eth blockchain and it got popular this year, they got lots of eth by now.

Programming/tech + good idea = Money.
It isn't too late to start to be honest

I 'fell into it' because I did it at university so I was lucky I guess lol

Do you know any site i could learn these programming languages from without needing a physical tutor?
Places I've used:

Tutorialspoint (free)
Udemy (free and paid)
Udacity (free and paid I think)
Youtube (free)

Pretty sure there are others, these are just the ones I've used

Being a professional is the first thing, being an entrepreneur should be easier that way.

Not an entrepreneur though, I was being silly

Yes... just like in University, one covers different courses simultaneously without problems.

Fidelismaria, the suggestion by ibkayee to start with Python certainly has merit. However, I've also come to realize that you can gain a better understanding by wetting your feet in all.
I'm just considering that he's a beginner, but if he can handle it all together, even better

Yea.
If you investigate, most members on NL between 2005 to 2008 are rich kids or exposed big guys and ladies, and most of them are already over 30 yrs by now. So if you're on NL between 2005 to 2008 and not yet 30yrs. Then, definitely you must have had exposure early enough. That was my calculations.
Makes sense

In Nigeria, web-based languages are the thing:
Python, JavaScript/Node, PHP, Ruby, Java, Rust

You should start with them all. Spend 1 week on each, and rotate. All the tools to develop are freely available.

See here for a list of possible job options; scroll down to software engineers:

All ke?

Fidelismaria, definitely don't do that lol, especially as a beginner

Pick one and start from there, easiest is probably Python, but you can do your research to see which one aligns the most with whatever you want to do. Then when you have the basics down, branch out from there

Lol, I never disagree with you about that, infact there are many affordable browsing phones that time but you in particular, my instinct and logical calculations suggested you must have had a rich background or good exposure, to have been on NL by then.
Ok fair enough
