You have a valid point.

But I think this may only hold for unchanging data, which is rarely the case in business, because, events, seasons, economy, and even Gen-Z behavior among other external factors constantly shift meaning.

AI is not perfect because hallucinations have been a big problem, so letting AI be autonomous is very risky, especially when making business decisions.

You may think of RAG as a solution, but there is no one size fits all for every kind of data, especially with different use cases.

The issue of dynamic data makes this even harder, particularly in data streaming, where context and concepts can shift, models start drifting, and assumptions break in the analysis.

Even self-training models do not fully solve this, which reinforces the point that a human must still be in the middle.

I mostly agree with this

Dynamic data is exactly where the limits show up first. Concept drift and changing incentives break static assumptions fast and AI still struggles to notice when its own confidence is no longer justified

RAG and self training help, but they don’t remove the need for human judgment. They only reduce friction not responsibility

The real risk isn’t Ai making suggestions, it’s letting it operate without a human who understands when the ground has shifted to.

I contacted a friend who is into workflow automation for mentorship, she directed me to an automation expert who taught her. When I inquired about the cost, she mentioned 500k for the training and lifetime access. Is it worth it?

I started learning the basics on YouTube today.

The fact that you already started on YouTube is good
That price alone doesn’t tell you if it’s worth it and lifetime access matters only if the content is updated and there’s active support or a strong community

Workflow automation is one of those skills where the fundamentals are free and the real value is in applying them to actual problems

Heres my advice to you: learn the basics for a few weeks, build small automations, join community of like minds on discord & X, see where you get stuck.

If you hit a clear ceiling where structured mentorship would save you months then paying makes sense. Until then, spending that much upfront is a risk not an investment.

Nope.

AI will only automate parts of data analysis, not eradicate data analysis or data science.

AI cannot define the right questions, understand real business or social context, decide what data truly matters, or reliably detect flawed assumptions, bias, and misleading correlations. It also cannot translate insights into accountable real-world decisions or exercise ethical judgment.

AI will only replace routine data cleaning, basic descriptive statistics, simple dashboards, repetitive database queries, and standard reporting tasks ( tell if it is important, misleading, or something to take action on without human feedback).

This is mostly true but overstated in a few places

Firstly, "AI will only automate parts of data analysis, not eradicate data analysis or data science”

True, what will change is the shape of the job, not its existence

But...
AI can define the right questions
AI already helps propose questions when given context

AI can understand real business or social context, AI can and will understand represented context and can decide what data truly matters as well as reliably detect flawed assumptions, bias and misleading correlations

In a few years from now, AI will increasingly perform most mechanical and analytical tasks in data work

But that's not eradication, that's compression and elevation

I made over $5k from video editing last year!

AI will evolve around so many skills including editing, I'm sharpening my skills around project centered contents for brands websites and applications while learning AI Integrations for these kind of businesses.

Here are some skills that can make you $10k/mo if you can lock in for the next 3 months

1. Workflow Automation
2. YouTube Automation
3. Prop firm Trading
4. Video editing and
5. Sales

Pick 1 or 2 skills, source for materials and disappear for the next 6 months

If she's a virgin, marry her.

If you met her in her father's house and she has been fvcked and mounted by many men, don't marry her.

Even devil rejects non virgins.

There is a 0.000001% probability that she's a virgin.

"Truth is that an average student can pass through medicine if he can sit down and read"

This makes me understand that my weakness is not coming from my capacity to read and understand but actually my inability to stick to an 8hrs reading table I created myself

Glory be to God Almighty
I passed my first MB. I'm now a clinical student. I'm so so happy 😊😊

Big Contratulations to you dear. I tap from your blessings and thanks for the motivation 🙏

More grease to your elbow comrade.
Stay prepared for the journey ahead it's worth doing, just don't give up.

Many of these pros are realizing how disposable they were working for the large tech companies and will be looking for opportunities to feel more valued... It's not just tech.

It wasn't a hack and none of their customers lost 50kobo.

Hi

The peer pressure currently is just too much, people mentality is that traveling is the best option, my partn er started giving me pressure to move out of the country too at the other end am not seeing that as an achievement I mean she expect me to leave a job I created by myself 6years ago in nigeria that is currently fetching me at least 2-3m monthly to japa, if I do will loose all customers because the job is competitive, and for over 6year now I work from home, lose that kind of job and go to Uk as in what kind of job will fetch me 2-3m monthly savings in the Uk.

Now my partner will be looking at me as an enemy of progress, the skills I have is only plumbing work skills i most do that as a side job in nigeria here I only attend to big job, japa is not for everyone you people should stop looking at it as a big achievement… and stop calculating you earning In naija just to say that you better off over there… we all cannot leave nigeria, after you will be saying if you cannot do it for yourself do it because of your children ABEG and what of my mental health…. Please stop calling NIGERIA shithole

What do you think I should do?

Use 23hrs or your day to fear women and the remaining 1hr to remind others to do so

Should you fail on the journey, she'll be the first to blame you, compare you to your mates or possibly leave you for someone better

Make she no sweet talk your 6yrs of hardwork into a hopeless plan!!

This one go make sense... I don pitch my tent here!!

Mahnn!! It's a never-ending ancestral mentality!

I asked some friends what their family planning was gonna be like... And they went
"at least 5 is good"

Why??
"Cause their siblings are also 5 in number"

Someothers see it as a means to escape poverty...
As in, they'll have their kids get involved in so many different sort of things to survive, then if MAYBE one becomes successful tomorrow, he'll help the others.

The moment you came on NL to blast about your new laptop and how you've become a C++ master... I just knew you were ready but not prepared!!

Here you are to attest to that...

I swear if I never gave up on saving that money for this laptop, nothing can make me give up on programming, not even C++.

Be calming down, plan your life well before you take your decisions, else you'll come back again screaming how yahoo itself is a scam!

So, change the title to
"Your personal perspective about reading books"

Or
" Why you've always hated reading books"

Don't misguide anyone!!

Let me break this down for you
Let assume this first page is ur brain and when u read one book there is one dot on Ur brain….
{image 1}



A line between dots represents a connection between ideas.
{image 2}



Reading books gives your brain more dots to work with...
{image 3}



Then, it helps you connect these dots

The more connections you have, the more understanding you develop both logically, spatially and otherwise...

To think that the old man is a professor and a father...!
He deserves to be disciplined behind tiny cells
Senseless human being!!!
He could have settled the matter between the 2 girls instead his own got worse

He deserves to be charged with
Illegal abduction
Sexual harassment &
Attempted murder.

ProfAyomi:
I made an update yesterday, a long one but naira land wiped it off .

So I have been working mostly on javascript. W3s is really under rated, especially their videos, that's what I have been using as my video resource after I finished Mosh's introduction to Javascript.

Basically, I'm more of a book person. I read pdf more than I use videos. So I focused on reading 20 pages each of eloquent JavaScript and Head first Javascript.

What I do is to watch at least an hour of video daily, 20 pages each of pdfs and then write codes for minimum of 3 hours daily. Sometimes I feel like a zombie just going through the rounds but consistency and discipline and the fact that I signed a contract already is keeping me going.

What I have notice is that, programming takes time, you can't force the process, sometimes I feel very dumb especially when learning some concepts, but when I wake or maybe while doing some task unrelated to coding, I get this flash bulb moments when the pieces starts to fall in line. My mind is so consumed with programming that I try to mentally replay the tutorial I watched the previous night in my head. So far, it's been working.

Must say this, I don't know anything, I'm not special, I'm just lucky, lucky to have a lot of gurus around me, I'm always the dumbest in most groups I'm in. When the technical margins and arguments on what the shortest possible runtime should be, I just stand aside and soak it all in, sometimes, I chip in my little baby ideas and they all tend to notice and want to help out. Yesterday, I got 2 guys, one from Cameroon, the other from South Africa each doing a one hour zoom meet with me to explain some concept.

I have realised this in programming, you can the the most senior and still feel like a noob sometimes. And I have gotten very good at googling, just that I type out my answer instead of just pasting it.

Funny thing is that I hate front end with passion, and having to learn CSS isn't so romantic, just wish I can float through and still known enough to google my way out of problems. Also did something over my head this week, the company I work for review my CV and out of curiosity, I applied for 2 jobs, one as an intern, the other as a junior dev.

I got to the interview stage but the i was surprised that a company will ask DSA questions from an intern, in was able to solve the first one, something about using recursion to solve a Fibonacci concept, I can't even remember again. But I know I but I remember that during one of our numerous harkerrank exercises on the group I had seen something like that before. I did it C language, instill don't know what it means at all. I have a photographic memory and was able to type it out line by line, when asked to explain why I did that, I became dumb, the interviewer was like, "calm forn, i know you are under pressure, you can try to explain it later, but can you refactor it?"

In my head I was like refactor what? What I don't even know what it means. Anyways, I was given another DSA question about blackjack, I told them, I don't know what blackjack is nor how to play it because I'm not a gambler. They said no problem, and one of them used 10 minutes to explain what it means and how its played. The more he talked the more confused I became.

He then afterwards repeated the question, at this point I couldn't hear anything again, my head was spinning and I couldn't think anymore. I started questioning my sanity. Then they said, lets just go back to some regular coding challenge. They asked me what complex coding challenge I have done. I said I have built my own printf function in C and was working on building my own shell. Mind you, this was a project in Alx. I wont say I understand it very well but I at least could replicate it without using the standard library.

After an hour plus of sweating. He said, what I just did was supposed to be done in more than one hour. I told them I was learning in a coding school, at this point he asked " how long have you been doing this for? And be honest." I told them 2 months, give or take. Then one of them replied, whats your IQ, me that didn't even know just said 180. I could swear I heard them all gasp. In my mind I was like, have I said something wrong. They were like ok. Can we get back to you later. We will be in touch.

I couldn't even think much about it. I was having another interview the next day and also a presentation at work new project so I just started preparing for it. That night, I went check what IQ of 180 means and even me gasp, there is no way I am a genius. Simple maths can make me disorganized sometimes sef. The second interview was a disaster but they said they would get back to me.

Meanwhile, I had to go back and check that blackjack stuff again, I wrote a pseudo code and algorithm for it. Will share when I have the time again.

Now my lesson from this week, just 2 months in and I think I am moving too fast, programming is a journey,it's a process that shouldn't be rushed, it's better to understand the concept rather than rote memorization.

2. Don't go near DSA unless you have a good working knowledge of low level language or python or Javascript or Java. You won't understand much,

3. Having a high IQ is the biggest cheat in programming. I don't have it ooooo

4. Make an effort to meet those ahead of you and ask questions, make new connections and give value too. I was able to teach 2 people something I have learnt before and I love the joy I got from it. I also understood the concept more.

5. Don't learn how to code. Learn how the mind of a programmer works. And codingnwill be like a simple puzzle instead of an impossible mission of cramming syntax and keywords.

6. Build projects with the little knowledge you know, when you run into problems , use google and continue, if you don't understand ask those ahead of you.


## the first company sent a reply, they would do another video session with me. I don't know what it is about. But for now, I wont apply for jobs anymore and focus more on learning. The company training me won't even allow me leave until I have worked for them for 6 months.

Your experience is both inspiring and humorous.
I used to think they don't get to ask DSA questions to juniors, but this shows that no matter what role you're in, just learn it.

At least, the very basics
Thanks to our bosses here, they've shown the way, it's left for us to follow

I'm looking to meet with a few tops as well, do you mind sharing the link in pm.

Food is ready!

The design is epic indeed... Love the idea
Try make the site load abit faster, at first I felt those were random texts and comments not until the images started to show up

Blanche quite observant

Are you a comedian or just this dumb

Well done boss... I bet the experience will stick around for good

Take your chances bro. Might be a good opportunity
Even if it doesn't go well, at least you'll learn from the experience

Congrats on your pc... It's not much but it'll really go a long way for you
