Why not share the discord link here or on your profile, to contact you on WhatsApp first before joining doesn't seem free to me.

Ps: I'm a mod too.

Goodday chief

I'm interested in being a mod too...could you pls onboard me

Thanks

TheManOfTheYear:
Hey all.
I finally got my first offer

My base salary is 400k and I'd be resuming as a Frontend Developer for a new startup.

Don't give up.

Congrats sir!

Wish you growth and progress in your career

TastyFriedPussy:
okeyyyyyy, I grab now... What level did you guys do data structures?

200l first semester boss

TastyFriedPussy:
You no sabi wetin you dey talk....
The tech youtubers who are programmers that their niche is all about programming are what? Are those one's not tech influencers too? Joma tech and the rest?

You know deep down the people I refer to as tech influencers.

This people are different from the youtubers that put up content to help others. These ones will never tell you to ditch your degree and attend a bootcamp.

I remember when Compiler Construction, a course I took in 300l was difficult to me....it was through them I understood that course and passed my exams.

But you see these other tech influencers I'm talking about that are on tiktok, sc, twitter. Most of them spread false info.

I hope you understand what I mean? You grab?

Telegon:
The bolded hit the nail on the head. I pray they listen

I've also been a victim of this your post, that's why I'm trying to incentivize others. And the tons of misleading informations online are the ones causing this.

Even on this nairaland, there's a thread that dissuade people from going to higher inst. at all, that prospective students should just focus on programming and making money when they finish high school.

Exactly boss.

This tech influencers aren't helping matters.

The few of them that put out genuine info don't get views and likes.

Firstly, how on earth can one combine programming and tech influencing?

You Don sabi good dsa and system design wella wey you still get time to dey create road map threads every 10 mins on twitter?

Telegon:
Bro, I want you to do some personal research, check some american tech companies requirements for employment online and you will know the degree is not useless. You will see a lot ready to employ computer sci. graduates without experience, while requesting self-taught to have minimum three-years experience. Though, a dull computer sci. grad. will drop at the interview section.

Concerning courses being rudimentary, have you seen any first-class grads who only stick with the syllabus, they always go extra-curriculum to get the first-class. So even as a student, to be highly employable, you have to be outstanding.

This is true asf

But yet tech influences are preaching the gospel of "no degree to get a remote job".

Thereby, making folks ditch school to attend bootcamps even when they have the time and money to do so.

One thing I don't like about we Nigerians is that, we don't like following laid down procedures.
We love to create shortcuts.


Despite this your preaching of getting a Cs degree if you can...... self-taught programmers will still pick jamb form and put mech eng or marine eng or medicine lol...knowing fully well that they intend to work as a programmer after graduation.

DrLevi:
The FAANG dream is a highly ambitious one but the Leetcode DSA thing is quite real especially with established companies, I hear American devs talk about it a lot.

Still your employment will always require expertise with certain languages and frameworks because you have to be productive immediately after the onboarding.

Advising people ignore productive skills for optimisation hacks and efficiency(DSA) is quite misleading because at the end, you won't be employed as a DSA engineer but a ROR or React or Python developer.
Makes no sense passing the interview only to get fired a month into the job for being totally useless to the team

Recently I found out most people debating this DSA thing are not Cs grads cos anyone that studied/currently Cs must know dsa is the core fundamental upon which other things are built on including those frameworks,libraries and languages so it should not be surprising that companies test for the knowledge of this.

Yes dsa is hard,even foreign engineers don't find it easy but since this is the situation we find ourselves....we all have no option

Hannania:
Comments only an African can say. India has millions of developers and DSA is of no secrete. All FAANG AND 90% of Fortune 500 firms opened offices there, because there's a large pool that knows "Fundamentals".

How many senior developers in Nigeria can architect large distributed systems?

Before now, what we had were WordPress masters. but it's all different every since Bloomberg, Goldman Sachs, Bank Of America, Palantir, and Microsoft, started giving lads opportunities, and now big firms are seeing the talents from here.

It's a good thing that DSA is now evangelized. Before you know it, big cooperations will come to set up offices here so they can outsource developers here at a cheaper rate.

So if you want to get among the elite, better learn it. Because soon, employers in Nigeria will revert to it, to keep top talents and filter script skiddies.

Microsoft and Amazon just opened applications to recruit engineers from African Universities to US and Canada, not experienced engineers, but new grads.

The result if this is that the level of difficulty for interview questions will be tougher.

There's a joke that In India, to get into Google you have to prep lc hards very well and pray to God lol for you to pass the interview

looks nice and spacious

airsaylongcome:
Comeback in 6months and tell us how many of these you completed. On time. And with expert proficiency.

Scatter gun approach never killed an enemy. But you may be different and I'm interested in your feedback after all the programs. I'm rooting for you

I'm just reading and laughing.

The other guy said he's reading both computer science and transport management.

Computer science? Abi is the computer science I'm studying another course?

Course wey fit choke person...you con dey study am ,dey learn coding, con dey do transport mgmt omo

By the time you finish core Cs courses like:
Systems programming
Compiler construction
Queuing systems
Netcenric computing
Software engineering
Modelling and simulation
Computer architecture
Data structures and algorithms
Systems programming
System analysis and design
Discrete structures
Numerical methods
Distributed systems

As you finish ehn..body go tell you

Shout out to Cs majors..It ain't easy

Oem18:
You are the One promoting nonsense.

Why didn't you stop that guy from denigrating the country in the name of leaving it?
He is free to go but must he insult the country.

He said he doesn't pay taxes, the country he wants to run to do their own citizens not pay Taxes even if it is being looted
which one is worse than being happy you don't pay your fair share? So those who pay taxes in Nigeria are fools ?.

A Wild animal in Africa is a wild animal in Europe.

--- The End ---

I prefer to pay tax in Europe where I will see what the government used the tax for than to pay tax in Nigeria where the tax is just enriching the men at the top

What kind of derailing is this now?

Can one work remotely or it must be onsite?

odinson1:
With a banging body like this,you can only imagine the Battalion of simps in her dm's begging for her account number

She is Romelo lukaku's ex.

She recently posted her only fans, after seeing the reactions of people....she deleted the link lol

tensazangetsu20:
You have to know how to code to master dsa. It's the building block of software.

Thank you.

I was just shooked at what the boss(misterRobot) you replied to said.

tensazangetsu20:
Oh yeah DSA isn't hard. It just requires practice. I remember when I started I really hated it but I am not even good and I am passing some of the technical interviews I have had somewhat. I think I will be very good with more months of practice.

I'm not doubting you o boss...but how can one master DSA without knowing how to code ?

Good evening everyone,

I wanted to recharge my prepaid meter but after inputing token,I get "no ack" message.

Has anyone here experienced this? If yes,how did you go about it please?

ProphetJeroboam:
Its not desperate when she’s really into you, if a lady is genuinely into you, she wants to spend time with you physically not on texting or phone calls. She makes things extra easy for you, like super easy. She wants you and her alone, when you get her alone, a real nigga knows what to do. You’re only perceived as being desperate when you’re over investing and she finds it overwhelming. At the peak of her attraction for you, a real nigga knows when to strike.

Woww thank you for this explanation

ProphetJeroboam:
Being chosen gives the “high” feeling, it doesn’t happen to the average guy a lot so it’s understandable most would want to savor it, enjoy it and relish it. In all cases you’ll start thinking she wants to be with you and just you, she chose you so you must be special, you have her in your hands. When a woman chose you, the onus is on you to steady the dynamic of your relationship with her. Most guys enjoying the moment don’t realize this until replies start getting dry and monotonous then they create throw-away accounts to ask “How do I keep a girl interested” . She chose you today cos you’re funny and you make her laugh, she could chose another guy tomorrow cos he has a nice physique. For women it’s all about satisfying their biological urge to be physically and mentally hooked to a guy with qualities they find endearing at that moment. At the same time, playing the no-sex game works sometimes albeit for a short time when you’re higher value than all her options at the moment. The only way to keep a woman is to consistently prove to be higher value than any guy she has met or will potentially meet. You can have the keys to her emotions at the moment but some guy elsewhere has the keys to her body , you gave her the feel good emotional feels, some guy gives her the mind blowing orgasms. Both guys are equally as important to her and her selfish nature will convince her that both needs must be met regardless of who she hurts. Remind me of when I was in 1st year in the university, i flaked on this chick so hard during a Sunday , she called me and was crying asking why I like to hurt her, came to class on Monday to see some nigga grabbing her ass in class. I never got the chance to smash though but I am positive that guy did.

Nice write up.
I have a question though...
Won't this lead to see finish ?or make her see you as desperate?

Ovaltine:
You can learn (web frontend) with even a Chromebook.
Just make sure any Windows you've got has SSD.

Okay thank you very much

qtguru:
The spec is very good, what OS are you running that will alsp depend too ?

Thank you for your time sir...I'm currently using windows
but i intend to change to ubuntu later

.

I think you use Udeler

salvationproject:
Was just browsing through my previous post here and I saw a post on an ATM machine codes I wrote with Java. I decided to just play around with HTML, CSS and JS and see what I can bring out from them.

Check it out below,

What you think guys?

Nicee..how did you do this with only HTML CSS and js?

MirthOsas:
Hey D! It's been a while, but I am here again, LOL

I am glad that I am making steady progress even though there are days I feel like giving up, but I just remember why I started out in the first place, and that tends to rekindle the zeal to continue.

I finished a module on Numbers and strings, where I learnt about the floating point precision, the .toFixed method, the Big integer, The global Number and Math objects and assoicated methods and properties such as the .random(), .floor, etc. I also learnt about Regular Expressions.

I also finished another module on Asynchronous JavaScript, where I learnt about synchronous code execution, asynchronous code execution, blocking code and event loop, the effect of multiple callbacks. I also learnt about promises

Another module on Promises is gone too as I learnt about how to create promises, how to chain multiple promises using the .then() method. I also learnt about error handling using the .catch() method, the async - await, and the other some other methods available for Promises, such as the Promise.race(), Promise.all(), and the Promise.allSettled.

I have also finished a module on HTTP requests and I sincerely loved and still love this module. I learnt about how to send HTTP requests, the different types of requests, the concept of JSON data and Parsing Data, how to get the response when we send a request, and an alternative way of sending requests using the fetch API.

Yesterday, I finished a module on JavaScript libraries, where I learnt about some third party JS libraries available and how they make life the life of a developer easier. I learnt the different methods of adding libraries - by downloading or by using the CDN link. I specifically learnt about AXIOS, a library that makes sending HTTP requests way easier. I delved into jQuery, but its capabilities can be done by core JS APIs. I also learnt about using npmjs.com to search for resources and documentation regarding JS libraries.

I also started creating basic javascript projects and they are really basic though , but it keeps getting better. I created a counter app with live url: https://mirthosas.github.io/counter-app/

A random number generator app with live url : https://mirthosas.github.io/Random-Number-Generator/

A hex-colour generator app with live url: https://mirthosas.github.io/Hex-colour-generator/

It keeps getting better D!

Hello please where you able to download css and java script books by maximillian scwartz?
If yes,could you please share to me?

Lindner:
I receive at least one email per week with the same question. I hope to create a thread soon where I'll share my own journey and practical tips to transition from a learner to landing the first remote job. I can't address it here cos it'll be too long.

Not to brag but I got my first remote role just 4 months after I started learning. I ascribe that to favour and the fact that I had a clear path to follow which others too have followed and achieved the same result.

Please beginners like myself will find this helpful �

Avast:
Data Structures and Algorithms

Thank you

The5DME:
I remember when you used to tell people here to forget about DSA now things don change.

What's DSA please?

ubunja:
Lol what is "see-finish"??

A term used to explain familiarity that brings contempt.

So if someone says avoid see finish the person is saying that you should not get too familiar to the extent that you lose respect the person had towards you.
