Common lies from programming newbies by Ifeoluwadev(op):
Just ask them which framework do you use?
Only ask even for their front end and see them go mute cheesy

"It's Just A Simple Website, It Should Take One Day"

People see a finished website and assume it was easy to build.

They don't see the planning, design, testing, optimization, content structure, security setup, and deployment involved.

"I Don't Need A Portfolio"

Many beginners spend months learning but never showcase what they've built.

A portfolio often speaks louder than a certificate.

"I Saw A Similar Website Online, Just Copy It"

What people don't realize is that some websites cost millions of naira and months of development.

Copying the appearance is easy.

Copying the entire functionality is another story.

Topic should be “Common lies from programming newbies”

Tech goes well beyond just writing codes. My tech vertical for example, CLI is the most used “frontend”. Any fancy frontend UI just consumes unnecessary extra resources even though it makes configuration easier for less knowledgeable folks. Take Kamailio for instance, CLI configuration gives the most power. KEMI frontend just complicates configuration or comprehension of underlying concepts

Of course. If you get a SIP trunk and a VoIP number (mostly those starting with 02). VoIP is widely used in Naija. All those bank and telco contact centres you call when you have a complaint, all VOIP
