that's a myopic way of looking at things.
[color=#1980BC] More like that's just been an unpolitically correct way of looking at things, yes?.[/color]

All fields are open to all.

If you want to study medicine, pharmacy or law today, smash your Jamb and postume and you will be offered admission or you could just buy the admission. undecided

Tech is even harder because it's takes time and you have to know what you are doing unlike in school where you can pay or cheat your way through, buy a job and become a quack doctor, killing people and earning government money until you retire.
[color=#1980BC] That's why we are telling him to stick to his field because it would be best for all parties....as a medical doctor he will need his 100% focus on his duties to increase the survivability of his patients instead of being distracted by the rigours of tech.Tech is not beans neither is it for famzing..It's for extremely intelligent people with the mental fitness of a fighter pilot, the physical self discipline of a heavyweight boxing champion and the asceticism of a Buddhist monk....He better recognize.[/color]

You don't have to gate keep Tech.

Tech will getkeep itself. Even abroad where everything is available, a lot of people are still not interested in coding.

So stop this joke.

Gatekeeping is not advising.

And it will never be sweet for you in Jesus name... so you're even a medical doctor transitioned into tech? You and other medical doctors and pharmacists trying to go into coding are very big he-goats tongue idiots in the making that will only end up failing. tongue Thunder scatter all of you. What happened to your medical field? Or you guys no longer want to make your parents proud again? You people always belittle people who intended to study Computer science that year, calling them all sorts of names, saying rubbish about the course and people who study them. But now na the same CS all of una don dey rush come, bunch of idiots tongue you're gonna fail woefully in this field I assure you that, you won't earn shishi from it, better go and face your medicine jejely, rubbish tongue

You people use to see your selves as Demi Gods in the society, every parent wanted their kids to study medicine even if the child does not want to, just attain one yeye social status and be called a medical doctor, (my son is a medical doctor, my daughter is a medical doctor. All those yeye stereotypes)... You and your parents would be looking down on CS students calling them all sorts of derogatory names, saying they will end up as phone repairers on the streets. Back then, A child in the average Nigerian home can't say he wants to study CS without getting instantly rebuked by his parents just because of the same stereotype. That was how my dad refused me to study my CS five years ago after secondary school. Instead he forced me to go study pharmacy, just because he wants to use me to brag to his friends who's children are also medical doctors and pharmacists. Now I'm a drop out because I couldn't continue the useless course and he's being blaming me even since. Rubbish... And I'm even sure you never had passion for medicine, you only wanted to study it just to look good to the society and your parents... Rubbish tongue

You guys should better face your medicine and pharmacy, leave programming alone ohhhhhhhhhhhhhh. idiots tongue
You sound really unintelligent.. all your comments are just a reflection of who you’re in reality.

[color=#1980BC] It's crap bro not crab...And you still getting the gist wrong. Tech is unforgiven, it selects a very microscopic few. Check this, Tech is so f**ked up that some people that are coders might not actually be "good" at it, while others have the "gift" but don't even access to computers.... That's how enigmatic tech is, We are all about telling people the cold harsh truth..[/color]

[color=#1980BC] I'm sorry bro but that's just bullsh**t to be honest...We have to police in Tech so it doesn't go the way of others especially when those who don't know better think there's some flamboyance in the area only to find out how harrowing and difficult it is, then they fall out and disabuse the minds of some young tech talents out there, to believe that tech is an impossibility .... Stick to your field, at least there you are cossetted and worshipped but here in Tech, its a field for pioneers, adventurers and the brave heart...Like the wild wild west ,It's for those with passion, hunger for success especially when they have nothing and you think your medical degree gives you a hall pass? f**k no. You're going to get crushed and broken, don't say you weren't warned.[/color]
Just like the horrors of med school and the incessant dropouts, long doctor shifts and terrible pay has done well to deter the 100k+ students that apply for medicine every year?

People wey go join tech go join and those wey go fail out go fail.

Telling people from other profession not to join tech is actually a pointless endeavour because las las, na who good go get job not this "stick to your field" chant.
That's why instead of gatekeeping, you'd be get studying and building. Make doctor wey start today no go sabi pass you

Does his getting into tech affect you?

His success and yours are mutually exclusive. Just face what you're doing in peace

I will say it again this programming section on NL is a joke, it's full of people tearing each other down. My personal advice , just form your own community and leave this Platform, on reddit they are encouraging others to learn code, but it's here idiots are doing the crab bucket thing.
I'm telling you. After we'll be shouting racism racism. But the bad belle and negativity from our country men is enough to kill someone's morale.

He has no point whatever and spends more time being a nuisance to the section than he does actually contributing anything worthwhile

Nigerians have this thing where they spend so much time policing others instead of improving themselves tongue

"Tech" is nobody's assign field or birthright. Whether or not anyone from anywhere wants to transition into it, they can and should.
Doing tech is not even easy, so anyone that stays earns his right to stay

Las Las, your sentiments won't stop or deter them. Makes me wonder why you bother with the gatekeeping


PS: a medical doctor that can add tech to this routine is doing what any of you wouldn't even dream of attempting. Maybe work harder before someone juggling medicine and tech kicks your ass at "you own field"
The boldened is very correct. I've been waiting to see the guy's work or his story about his tech journey, nothing has been seen from the guy.

I think he's more frustrated than enthusiastic about tech

YOU ARE JUST A NONENTITY!

This poster is not the cause of your problems in life & he was not the one who insisted that you study Pharmacy. Please go and settle whatever grudge you had with your father, that is nobody's business on Nairaland, my own is quit acting like a spoilt brat that you are.

He studied Medicine & surgery, then moved into tech. Please how is that your business or that of your family members?

I can assure you that this poster will eventually become successful while you're here blaming your parents for their own mistakes with you. He will earn money from this tech insha allah!.
The comment shock me self. Omo the way human beings dey reason dey marvel me. Someone chose to transition into tech you came dey insult am like you payed his medical school fees? off me!!!!!!!!

Re: How I Transitioned Into Tech. by AustainoPatrick(m): 2:11am On Sep 06, 2022
You guys should stop this nonsense, allow someone to make his choice. He did not stop any of you from studying medicine and surgery.

If you think you can do it just like him go write jamb and start med school, that is if you have what it takes.

Medicine is for everybody that has what it takes likewise tech.

Stop being bitter over someone's else achievement.

You people should bring up positive energy here please.
