Only like two companies are using ruby in Nigeria

tensazangetsu20:
I have been offered 25000 a month in the same Nigeria o .

airsaylongcome:
Hit me up for a linkup

tensazangetsu20:
Chale even with Salesforce, AWS or gcp certs. Nothing in Nigeria. On LinkedIn the average job posting on LinkedIn Nigeria has at least 300 applicants. I even saw a job with 3157 applicants and alx is just one o. You have altschool, decagon, stutern and co. Where Are they gonna work and no one should say remote o

emoboy4u:
Lol Boss, freelance nowadays is for those of you that started early and are grounded in your stacks. It's not easy like that for newbies especially when you have to compete globally.

tensazangetsu20:
I am really shocked that ALX and co are still training people in the tens of thousands. Like 40k will graduate from alx this year and Nigeria has a total of 5000 job openings both tech and non tech. Tech jobs are around 500 and you have 40000 new developers being pushed into the market

airsaylongcome:
No idea. But I can find out

airsaylongcome:
Physical route would be my best advice. Too many dodgy people on the online route plus I think you need to submit biometrics for it. Check your SCID, they should be able to advise. But if you can I'd say go direct to FCID cos na dem dey issue am

airsaylongcome:
Telegram. Check my post history for link

Is it only more work? The interview alone for Senior dev is brutal. The pay is also delicious. But the koko na to enter first. After you fit “guru up” and become a Senior

airsaylongcome:
That's not what I'm saying. I'm saying many of us that have gotten to where we are, aren't fully clear about what path we are following sef. Ma y have less than 5-7 years experience working professional remote roles. I will be an example, I started of learning my current role exclusively relying on YouTube. A 21 chapter playlist I listened to and executed the task step by step. I've shared this resource on here. And no one, not one person has reached out to say please can you help me explain this or that from the playlist. I personally trained one person step by step in the middle of juggling two jobs. And the person literally told me to find a job for him. I linked him up with a handful of Upwork freelance jobs and ended up executing the jobs myself. My point? A lot of these people who are looking for mentors are looking for free teachers to spoon feed them, get job for them and then work the job for them.

iMalyk:
I'd like to talk to you more about this, i'm also on the devops path. how do I join these communities?

belovedsamex:
I actually do, and i also developed the app with a VE. However, as this is my first time doing deployment unaided, i didnt quite figure out in time how to incorporate that with deployment as i was rushing to beat time. But i have learnt something from that.

belovedsamex:
Very cool bro.
May ask if you will be doing that for your Portfolio project with ALX or you just want to do it ?

If the latter is the case, may i ask that you do that under a new branch in my repository, i would love the collabo.

Thanks.

belovedsamex:
There is an opportunity for interested persons to contribute to the project.

bedfordng:
I must say you've done well. Maybe with time when you get more contributions, the data will add up.

Anyway, I will recommend you look at Django framework. with its batteries included and robust features, it will make development swift for you.

niel63:
Devops is definitely NOT and entty level role. Just know this and know peace.
All these CI/CD verbs... who you think say dey use them... Still, it isn't enough to make you a competent devops engineer. It's a combination of both practices and tools for applications and services.

And you know how tedious it can be to master one.
So, devops can never ever be an entry role.

efelico:
100% on point.

Working as a DevOps is not an entry role. It easier to break even in frontend, hard in backend and harder as DevOps. One major mistake as a DevOps kiss your server good bye

arejibadz:
thanks for reading, the token isn't complete i deleted some letters, please post link to the documentation cause this thing really frustrate me

emoboy4u:
So where is the starting point for any of these disciplines. My little research shows that there so many concepts, tools and technologies to learn though the one that stands out is getting comfortable with Linux OS. And some people even assert that DevOps is not an entry level role, they believe that you must have some form of development experience with a touch computer networking to really be useful in the role. Navigating tech can be a hassle!

airsaylongcome:
Might be you. Font looks good from here. What browser?

Regarding your points, they are well articulated. Many people run away from terminal because it's easier to click around. CLI gives almost god-like powers. Make you come be root user, you go dey do and undo.

Point 4, you'd be surprised at how random bots will come at you for just hosting a server on your LAN. It however offers an opportunity to learn about security and system hardening. God punish all those Russian, Chinese, American and Palestinian bots. Fzcking keep your router fully busy. I've hard to learn router management purely because of these bots. But you get to learn Transferable skills if you can then get to talk about how you are able to manage security as part of keeping your infrastructure always up.

I’ve known of lemmings since last year. Knew of the fediverse when we had twitter banned and came across Mastodon and PixelFed. It mostly used to be an echo chamber and I just had my accounts there so they can be aging. I’ve started using Mastodon a lot more and I like it. I’ve never really liked Twitter when it went pop, but Mastodon reminds me of the very early version of twitter where there aren’t any commercials/ads. You still have trends and all put you don’t have stuff shoved in your face like on Twitter.

For lemmy alternatives, I mentioned one earlier but looks like you glanced over it. It’s kbin.social. I kind of like kbin’s UI over lemmy. kbin is federated and federates with some lemmy instances (lemmy.ml and beehaw I believe). There’s also tildes.net but not sure it’s federated with any of the major others. I might end up sticking with kbin for it’s clean and ascetic UI.

I think this small migration from Reddit will lead to the fediverse becoming more mainstream. In 5 years, I see the Fediverse going global popular

airsaylongcome:
So old Reddit is going to be killed off eventually when Reddit goes public. And any web browser extension is going to only be a band-aid. And could also be killed off. Youtube over the weekend mad a move against invidious.io even though they don’t use YouTube’s API. I’ve been messing around with the several alternatives and I’ve started to enjoy the fediverse. Looks like I’d be settling with kbin or lemmy.

airsaylongcome:
So I don't know that "excessive" is the right adjective. It's the speed at which Reddit is planning to implement the changes that people found repulsive. Add to that the fact that the content that Reddit is looking to monetize is user generated. I understand if they charge commercial rates for LLM. But for 3PAs, those rates are atrocious.
