Vickiechuks:
I’m in my 30s and seriously considering transitioning into tech as a software developer using Flutter. I’ve developed a strong passion for it, and I’m committed to learning and growing in this field.

However, I’ve had some people tell me it might be too late to break into tech now , that the industry is saturated and opportunities are harder to come by. That has left me feeling a bit confused and discouraged.

I truly want to make this work , both because I love building things and because I want to earn a good living doing what I enjoy.
Is it realistic to start a Flutter developer career at this stage of life? Any advice, encouragement, or tips would mean a lot.

Thanks in advance!

Don’t listen to naysayers saying that the market is saturated…..you still have a lot of time to achieve what you want…learn what ever it is be it flutter, devops, cloud….and don’t be intimidated by people’s experience and whatever…AI is now a leveler and is here to assist you and not replace you…work closely with it…be dedicated and the sky will be your starting point.

Mariangeles:
Is it a crime to come from a poor family?
What has that got to do with anything?

The only crime is having a poor mindset.

Thank you very much for this comment

Seun how has your day been, have you written any code today?

JetStar:
Judging from the comments I think many people are chasing runs girls for wife. if thats the case then a lot of men will suffer.
People should understand the kind of girls they want to date before approaching them. Runs babe can never be a wife material.

They chase runs girls because they want to satisfy their sexual urges immediately. No right thinking man will go to a brothel or pick an adult film actor to wife and give birth to his children( if she even still has a womb sef)

Truths9ja:
not true at all. It's the poverty mindset some ladies has that create this expensive demands from men.

There is poverty mindset. True

But then again, a lot of the men caused…because tell me why you’re sending a girl 500k just because she is a fine girl or paying her for overnight 200k just because you can’t control your thirst for sex? It’s the stupid men amongst us that caused it.

dominique:
Exactly! Nobody commercialised relationships as much as Nigerian men and now the broke ones amongst them are crying.

In as much a lot of us men don’t support using money to lure women, is the bolded a necessary statement? Try and not always be going off point please.

Chilipepper:
How did we get here? Man questions Gen Z babes’ luxury standards after lady says she wants a terrace in Guzape for a start 😩💸🤔

It’s stupid men who send girls they’ve not met 500k just for being a fine girl that caused all this rubbish. Leave the girls and blame the men that caused their entitlement.

culf:
This is a lie! They should review their stuffs abeg

How is this a lie? Currently banks are employing people because there is shortage of staff…not all bankers stay in the banking sector for long…some leave after a while making banks always in need to get staff for understaffed branches

goran3310:
NO !
Understand?
NO !
Simply unnatural and unacceptable.

See what she is saying…”if she doesn’t have womb you can adopt”

How can you tell me what to do because you damaged your own womb? These are the species we have walking around now oo

FameGlory:
Her past is her past.
Nobody should ask her about her past.
Even if she is a retired OS, it's her past.
Even if she has done 20 abortions, it's her past.
Even if she doesn't have a womb anymore, it's her past. You can adopt.
Don't ask her about her past.

She has chosen to be with you.
Stay with her and make it work.
Her past doesn't matter.

lol.. ladies will damage themselves and still be thinking they have options…why should I adopt when I can have my own seed from my own loins in peace? damaged goods does not have the privilege of choosing…it’s men that pay bride price…you want to marry me without womb? Tufuiakwa just go and become a nun please.

If you check this topic on nl fp…this is another reason they are still single.

Just pure stupidity.

You for no reduce am. Next is to remove the share button. It doesn’t have no use.


No comment; next question

The share button is used to alert your followers about a post so that they too can engage. If you don’t know something ask questions instead of assuming

Esthered:
This man commercializes the gospel. The Bible says freely have you received, freely should you give. Did his gift come with a price that people have to pay for?
He's one of the reasons people don't take us serious.

He is obviously a false prophets just like Abel damina seeking attention. It’s not surprising because Jesus himself said there will be a rise of false prophets in the last days.

You can’t blame him

Because mumu people who can’t discern false prophets will still buy it

seborrhic:
When I read comments like this, I just shake my head.
You think Trump gives a hoot if there are even 10 genders?The man is only doing things that he feels will appeal to his MAGA base,his own whims,outlook or political consideration.
A man that says he wants to deport all illegal immigrants but sending ICE to only Democratic governed states.Florida with similar immigrant problem,if not more than LA has been left "unICED".
Then when his MAGA base started complaining of lack of manual labourers and farm workers,due to the ICE raids,has reversed course and says some of them can stay.
I bet you if a major trans person publicly praises him and pledges support,he would reverse course and say that they can be allowed under some situations,later he further gives go ahead by saying for eg,that if they can be confirmed to have been fully comverted to their preferred sex,he doesn't find anything wrong.
The man is a clown that sees the office as a big circus for him to be foo ling around and have people coming to see him perform.

I didn’t even read past the first two lines of the jargons you typed and mentioned me. Keep shaking the 555 stainless steel.

zero8zero:
Trump is a clown, he hasn't achieved anything tangible so far.

Trump has brought back sanity in having only two genders as it should be. Your own push and start C I C couldn’t get to a community because of “bad roads” while private citizens did.

What a shame. Next please

lol naptu blocked me because he couldn’t handle the truth. Let it pain him very well.

naptu2:
This is the best thing that has happened on Nairaland since Nairaland 2 in 2011.

There's no longer any need to make lots of reports to the moderators. The bot has taken care of the toxic posts.

It seemed like trolls were trying to discourage people from using the forum. The level of misogyny was unbelieveable. The trolls would ignore the topic of a thread and concentrate on attacking people. Now a user can simply block anybody that is toxic and he can continue to block trolls who open many accounts to harass people.

Users can now focus on issues instead of the constant wars between people.

Women can breathe a sigh of relief, because they don't have to bear the constant abuse.

The 40 character limit is a minor inconvenience in the battle against spammers.

Basically you've done a very good job with these updates.

Good afternoon…kindly don’t try be a woman wrapper. I believe you have been here long enough to know jeon Saphire….siofra and the likes with certain mods siding them and when guys retaliate they get banned. The abuse went both ways but at least it’s better now.

Tightpussy2024:
Please can you reduce the number of times "women" or other slurs targeted at women being made in a day?
For example,a moniker is not permitted to use "women" more than 3 times a day in the romance section?

This makes no sense whatsoever

………..

BodePolScience:
I hope Nairaland can take a snippet on how Reddit is run. What I notice is that comments aren't ordered on the basis of 'first come first serve' but comments are ordered using certain parameters. For instance the comment below me: 'E no concern me. Anything wwy una like make una do. E no change the cost of foodstuffs in the market.'. This kind of comment shouldn't be on the front row because:
1. It's irrelevant to the discourse
2. It's a digression
3. It's likely to make some guests or some sort of elitism individuals to lose interest in the site.

In contrast, the successive comment by DaveP: 'Pls can there be a suggestions box thread where ideas can be picked from your hallowed forumites to make upgrades and UX an excellent one?



We need polls on this site. It is a great engagement tool and that feature will help alot, especially in Sports and Education section, etc.'.
The above comment ought to definitely make front page because:
1. It's relevant to the discourse
2. It sparks up new and reinvigorating ideas that can help augment the discourse.

In a nutshell, I hope Nairaland can implement a system where comments are not ordered on the basis of first come first serve.

Which one is elitism? Oga…there are all kinds of people on twitter for example and the elite are still there also who haven’t lost interest

Secondly, this is a Nigerian forum where people can type in any language be it pidgin or whatever…the commenter expressed himself about the Seun update on the forum how does that affect you?

And Seun…again on this 40 character whatever, If. I may want to respond to a comment probably using a laugh emoji am I supposed to be a talkative to do that? Or a question I want to ask that may not be more than 5 words? I’ve said it before and would say it again, the minimum number of words I have to type before I can post is in irrelevant change. Doing that wouldn’t make your platform more interesting. What would make your platform interesting is eliminating those who incite tribal violence and the likes and work on the antispam bot. Thank you

Alliswell248:
Fake news .

Tinubu didn't travel by road. He used air.

If they insult you now you will be lamenting. After landing his plane on the runway, is it leg they will use to trek to the community? Ronu oo!!

Honestey:
Finally, the news of Baba trapping in tsunamic flood was scary.

Scary kwa!
There a different others sweet means.

Racoon and penguin2 can tell you that also

benuejosh:
Welcome yet again your Excellency to Benue State.

We believe that your visit will bring calm to he state and help get Alia smart enough to protect the people and stop playing politics of power grab and also help reduce his 'pride'

If it were me that employed you to defend me like this on social media platforms I would have sacked you long ago.

What is he arriving to come and do?

Ajala the traveler with no blueprint for anything.

Meanwhile, the yeye governor of benue state says he is not in support of people have personal guns for self defense. He knows what he is doing.

Dem dey use f-14 in 2025

Something wey Tom cruise don abandon since

xjiggy:
What that child need is a treadmill not an iPhone.

lol so true

@seun. Good morning
Again..kindly adjust this your spam bot banning unnecessary…yesterday I asked a question that was not rude and it banned me.

Also…nairaland is not exam center where essay is written last I checked
If a question I’m asking doesn’t need to be more than 5 words why do you need me to add more extra wordings not needed, just to ask a simple question? Please stop stressing people unnecessarily. Wordings are not part of the issues on this forum. At least kudos in bringing some decorum…but don’t make it such a way that people can’t really still express their displeasure about a person or event even when done in a decent manner

Thank you

Ajala the traveler on the beat again…after visiting…nothing will happen because it’s clear these bandits are bigger than the government

helinues:
In this century, you people are still fighting your ancestors fight without letting go.

It's not the government killing people, it's some of the citizens who are likely from the same area

What much would you expect outsiders to say when those involved are not ready to shed their swords

You can always shut it if you have nothing reasonable to say.
