The project requirements will determine whether there is a need for 3 repos. For complex projects used buy three different departments, it's better to have 3 repos. When starting a new project, designing a good architecture is important and this will determine what pattern is good for the application, just like building a house, the architect comes up with the best design based on the requirements they are given for the building.

You are the one going against the writeup as you have not considered the requirements from the stakeholders but you just want to start coding away. This is what the writeup is against, like using React, MongoDB and GraphQL for all projects just because that's all a coder knows, without first doing some analysis to determine which tools are best for the job.

Keep it simple stupid and don't repeat yourself: Can mean to use Microservices if that will make it simple or can also mean to use a monolithic approach if that will make it simple.

The tech community on Twitter, should not be the ones to determine if a system should follow Microservices or a monolithic system. This will depend on the requirements gathered during the initial process.

Karleb:
All these things you listed are no enough reasons to split a project into multiple repos because it has more than one dashboard.

Talking of microservices, if you are familiar with the tech community on Twitter, it's a pattern that has now been ditched for monolithic because is 'premature optimization' for most projects.

The reason why people use microservices is to allow developers of different language work on a project.

You are suggesting the exact thing you condemn in your write up. The fact that you can eat eba with fork doesn't mean you should.

Keep it simple stupid and don't repeat yourself.

The self taught will need to take a professional course like the BCS to keep their jobs. Software development is like building a house where there is a need for a qualified: Architect, quantity surveyor, structural engineer, brick layer, carpenter, plumber, electrician and painter. Each one of them doing what they are qualified and trained to do.
But in software development that is not the case. All the self taught I have met on a project have not been able to code complex logic and they would rather let the project be scraped then allow a person qualified and skilled to handle the project as the self taught becomes insecure and aggressive and because these self taught are mafias they are well protected by their organisation for their incompetence.
Only proper regulations can improve software development.

Alphabyte3:
Many will lose their job if this happens. Most top developers don't have degrees in computer science or engineering even In top corporations. The problem is that the bodies or FED will put a backdoor in most applications serving as way to control it remotely intensionally . The most safest operating system is Mac and iOS it will take even security agencies forever to hack especially when you don't log your socials in a browser. I am not against regulation but software bug sometimes are features to monitor people.

Regulating software development is quickly needed as the low barrier to entry has allowed mafias to take over the software development sector.

Regulation will make sure that only those with a degree in computer science, software engineering or computer engineering are allowed to develop software for commercial use based on their level of expertise and they must also belong to a professional body like the BCS for CPD.

Was this a Scam or they have decided to keep this great African technology secret?

Zimbabwean President And Politicians Duped By Local’s ‘Radio Wave Energy Invention’

President Mnangagwa praised Chikumbutso as a brilliant inventor whose invention has never been seen before anywhere in the world, making it a first of its kind.

Senior Zimbabwean leaders, including President Emmerson Mnangagwa, are reported to have been duped by claims that a local inventor had created an “ultrasonic” generator that turns radio waves into power.

Zimbabwean officials were a bit too quick to believe that the “groundbreaking technology” uses radio waves to power generators, motorcycles, and electric vehicles using a “microsonic” energy converter that turns radio frequencies into “pure energy”.

Zimbabwe’s official presidential communications account on X last week posted a statement – and a video – saying that Mnangagwa met with the “inventor”, Maxwell Chikumbutso, at State House to discuss this and other “inventions”.

According to the presidential communications, “President Mnangagwa praised Chikumbutso as a brilliant inventor whose invention has never been seen before anywhere in the world, making it a first of its kind.”

In the post – and others belonging to official government accounts – Chikumbudzo is lauded as the brains behind several inventions, including a vehicle made in partnership with an unnamed Chinese vehicle manufacturer.

Things however took an awkward turn when a well-known Zimbabwean journalist and Harvard fellow Hopewell Chin’ono revealed that the ‘groundbreaking technology’ was actually a portable solar power station sold on Amazon for $109.

“So a whole president was conned and his state security was so useless that it allowed this to happen? I am just disappointed by the dunces who were defending this conman – it shows how terrible our education system is!”

To make the whole thing even worse, the other inventions by Chikumbutso, touted by President Mnangagwa as world-firsts, turned out to be nonsense, including a radio frequency-powered television, and an electric car that he claims to have invented by himself but turned out to be a Kaiyi X3 Pro – an electric SUV sold on Made-in-China.com.

President Mnangagwa’s government seems to have now distanced itself from the whole mess to save face. After all, it’s embarrassing to fall for such obvious lies. You know, like “I will be better than Mugabe,” or “I will put the people’s interests above my own”.

Please stop spreading falsehoods and conspiracy theories 🤦🤦

Are you the mod that removed it?

Having 3 different repos is a good software engineering architectural design, this is why:

1. If one department wants a change or a new feature to their dashboard or any other part of their own project, this can be done and deployed with out having to stop the other departments when deploying to the production environment.

2. Different programming teams can work separately on their own project.

3. Access Control & Security: If each department's data and codebase need strict access control, separate repos make it easier to enforce.

4. Department-Specific Customization – If each department has significantly different workflows, business logic or UI requirements, separate repositories allow tailored development.

This type of architecture is called SOA or Microservices which are used for large enterprise applications.

So you can see now that na you sef don fail am and now wants to break a good software engineering architecture.

Nairaland is like a boxing ring, and once you throw the first punch, you don start the fight, so prepare for a return punch and na knockout remain

Karleb:
Trust me, even if they are used by a million departments, all you need is a singular repo. You also don't need 3 different databases.

JUST ONE!


ONE!!!!


If hypothetically, the project is now having 10s to 100s of million of data entries per day, then you would have to replan the application's structure but by then the project is probably a big success, in the league of Facebook, Instagram, ticktock and co and the owner is at least a millionaire in USD.

You see say you sef don dey fail am , because you don't actually practice. I am assuming.

Theoretical knowledge can only take you so far, that's why non-practionals should be humble when discussing with professionals.

Just pulling your legs. I don't want fight abeg.

3 different repos because the figma has 3 different dashboards: Depends on if the dashboards are to be used by 3 different departments and the 3 have their own separate databases.

This guy's blog is wrong on Kubernetes, as this should the determined by the number of different operating systems the application will be deployed to which will then require containerization and not by the number of developers in the team.

From a blog post not mine: A little over a year ago, a friend of mine hired an agency to build a web application for his business. The application is basically a simple online platform for medical appointments and consultations via video calls using Twilio. Since my friend doesn’t have that much technical knowledge, he asked me to help him validate what the agency was proposing. When I read the proposal, I was shocked. Not only because of the value they were asking but even more so due to the technological choices. It was clear to me right away that they were the typical agency where no one knew anything other than Javascript and MongoDB (thanks, Freecodecamp! 😠) - in other words, they know very little about proper software engineering.

They mentioned React, Strapi, MongoDB and GraphQL as the foundational technologies for the application. This made absolutely no sense:

Strapi is a framework to build CMS, not a framework or library to build a full-fledged web application.
MongoDB is a document store but this type of application will obviously be based on relational data and thus, it needs a relational database.
GraphQL is meant for scenarios where you have a lot of scattered data and you need to easily be able to fetch random pieces of data from random places.
React might be a good fit for large teams building very large and very complex frontends but this is a fairly simple application and the agency building it is very small. [Would suggest jQuery still for any size project]

In summary, none of the tools they chose were meant to solve the problem at hand, which was building a very specific and very well-defined type of web application. Sure, any of those tools could be used to build the application, just as you can also use a spoon to cut your potatoes and a fork to eat your soup - but does it make sense? Just because you can doesn’t mean you should.

All of those choices added unnecessary complexity, which meant unnecessary time spent building the application, unnecessary electricity spent and the accompanying carbon footprint, unnecessary money spent by my friend, and ultimately even unnecessary frustration for the developers who are working on it. Yes, “working”, not “worked”, because they still haven’t finished it and are way beyond their original estimation of three to four months.

I’m not sure exactly how we got here but I think it’s a combination of at least three things:

The “anyone can code” culture, which led to too many pseudo-programmers contributing negatively to the ecosystems.
Marketing folks pushing buzzwords to everyone’s mind.
Script kiddies wanting to use the cool tools from the big guys because they all want to be the next Zuckerberg, without understanding the problems these tools were designed to solve.

The vast majority of companies are small. Your company is most likely a small company. What huge companies like Google and Facebook do does not apply to you. Not only does it not apply, trying to replicate what they do on your smaller company is actually detrimental. You do not have the same problems they do, and certainly not at the same scale. And even if you did, you don’t have the amount of money or people to absorb the complexity of the systems and tools they use. It’s incredibly counter-productive to adopt, for example, micro-services and Kubernetes in a company that has 6 or 7 engineers. Such a company does not have the type of problem these tools solve, nor do they have the capacity to absorb the complexity that comes with said tools. And yet, this is exactly what many small companies do.

Returning to my friend’s project: over a year later, what started as a simple medical appointments platform has become a cautionary tale of modern software development gone wrong. The unnecessary complexity introduced by poor technological choices has led to delays, increased costs, and frustrated developers - exactly the problems I’ve outlined above. Through this series of posts, I hope to show that there’s a better way: one that focuses on choosing the right tools for the job, embracing simplicity where possible, and remembering that our goal is to solve real problems, not to chase the latest trends. Perhaps by examining these issues one at a time, we can start shifting our industry back towards more sensible, maintainable, and enjoyable software engineering.

Unfortunately, society doesn't run on a voluntary sign up to ethics. It relies on rules and regulations. Why is there a huge spend on policing, armed forces needed.

Not knowing the origin of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, our POWER IS IN God Almighty of the Original Torah in the Original first Temple in Jerusalem the only true God, who does not need a cross!

1. Ancient Egyptian Ankh (☥) - c. 3000 BC

2. Mithraic Crosses & Roman Military Symbols (c. 500 BC–1 AD)

3. Solar Cross & Sun Worship (c. 3000 BC–500 BC)

This was why Jesus said in: Matthew 16:24 (KJV) "Then said Jesus unto his disciples, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me."

Mark 8:34 (KJV) "Whosoever will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me."

Luke 9:23 (KJV) "If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me."

God Almighty of the Original Torah in the Original first Temple in Jerusalem is the only true God, who does not need a cross!

Hmm .. men always believe that they're supper than the former husband of a divorced woman. It is only a matter of time before you discover why she was divorced in the first place.🙄🙄🙄🙄

Same with marrying a none virgin, men think they are super than the men that have been banging her before till she shows the husband her red card and start calling those men again.

Jezebel woman have a very strong JAZZ that can pull a man down from miles if they want that man they can control

Marriage should be for free s*e*x and not for having kids only the very rich like Bill Gates, Dangote etc should be allowed to have kids.
A man has a job or business and managing himself well then gets married and when they start having kids the stress begins.

Why many men and almost all women not rich like Bill Gates etc want to have kids to stress themselves is the biggest mistake I can imagine.

This is what having kids led to for this Doctor:
US-based Nigerian doctor allegedly kills self over $15,000 child support: https://www.nairaland.com/8332499/us-based-nigerian-doctor-kills-self

Scam! No business gives free money

Good. Next University Electrical Engineers and their professors should create cheap 24 hours electricity from local materials.

Alphabyte3:
While in school one lecturer said we should embark on hydroelectricity project to create it using the river at the back of the university to turn a turbine. He didn't even do a solid estimate. The cost was about N5m the next lecture he stopped because of funding.

A turbine is crafted from locally sourced raw materials. Edo State has a traditional iron smelting factory and copper craftsmanship too, so your professor should have visited these areas to give them his design specifications for his turbine design which will not cost much and with free student labour cheap electricity could be made available.
This approach is used in developed countries, where local traditional factories are used for such projects.

Isaiah 53:12 (KJV)
"Therefore will I divide him a portion with the great, and he shall divide the spoil with the strong"

Isaiah 53:10 (KJV)
"he shall see his offspring, he shall prolong his days"

Truthseeker10:
Baba Truthseeker10 go and sleep...you need rest after exposing you.

Isaiah 53:12 (KJV)
"Therefore will I divide him a portion with the great, and he shall divide the spoil with the strong"

Isaiah 53:10 (KJV)
"he shall see his offspring, he shall prolong his days"

Truthseeker10:
🤣🤣🤣baba goodbye. Thank you for exposing your messiah in Isaiah 53:12. I now know that Truthseeker10 messiah will die. Thank you. Bye bye.

Isaiah 53:10 (KJV)
"he shall see his offspring, he shall prolong his days"

Truthseeker10:
🤣🤣🤣this guy is funny oo....you were the one that showed me a verse and you are running away from explaining it. In Isaiah 53:12, why will a portion be divided with the Messiah, is it not because he poured his soul unto death and was counted with the transgressors? Yes or no?

Truthseeker10:
Are you saying that Isaiah 53:12 does not say that the Messiah will pour out his soul unto death?

Isaiah 53:12 (KJV)
"Therefore will I divide him a portion with the great, and he shall divide the spoil with the strong"

Isaiah 53:10 (KJV)
"he shall see his offspring, he shall prolong his days"

Truthseeker10:
So explain Isaiah 53:12. How will the Messiah pour out his soul unto death and be numbered with transgressors?

You explain:

Isaiah 53:12 (KJV)
"Therefore will I divide him a portion with the great, and he shall divide the spoil with the strong"

Isaiah 53:10 (KJV)
"he shall see his offspring, he shall prolong his days"

Truthseeker10:
Does this verse mean that the Messiah will die?

No:
Isaiah 53:10 (KJV)
"Yet it pleased the Lord to bruise him; he hath put him to grief: when thou shalt make his soul an offering for sin, he shall see his offspring, he shall prolong his days, and the pleasure of the Lord shall prosper in his hand."

Truthseeker10:
What about human sin and suffering and death?

Isaiah 53:12 (KJV)
"Therefore will I divide him a portion with the great, and he shall divide the spoil with the strong; because he hath poured out his soul unto death: and he was numbered with the transgressors; and he bare the sin of many, and made intercession for the transgressors."

Truthseeker10:
So why do the Jews need a messiah?

1. Rebuilding the Temple (Ezekiel 37:26-28) - Not predict it's destruction
2. Gathering the Jewish Exiles from around the world back to the Land of Israel (Isaiah 11:12, Ezekiel 36:24)
3. Establishing World Peace and ending war (Isaiah 2:4, Micah 4:3)
4. Bringing Universal Knowledge of God so all people recognize and worship the One God (Zechariah 14:9, Jeremiah 31:33)
5. Restoring the Davidic Dynasty as an eternal and righteous kingdom (Jeremiah 23:5-6)
6. Upholding the Torah and Its Laws, ensuring that Jewish law is observed worldwide (Ezekiel 37:24)
