A 19 Year Old Me Gave An Advice That Doesn't Help Me 3 Years Later by 0luwatope(op): 1:32pm On Feb 10, 2020
Okay this is funny

This is what happened, Jan 31 2017, someone asked a question on the best strategy do develop a whot game, the 19 year old me who was feeling himself because that was exactly when i started android programming. I answered the question like a boss cool

In my mind then, i was thinking my advice was the best, so last month, i got one freelance job to develop a whot game like chopbarh, i should have been through with it, but the lazy me didn't start until yesterday, lol.

So I've done some things, the bots are playing, well but not well enough, i need to write more algorithms for them to be able to play very very well.

So i looked up whot strategies and i got to this page.... https://www.nairaland.com/3599738/what-best-strategy-win-whot

So, reading the comments, i found mine also grin grin the funny thing is, my comment back then was so so useless, i didn't even find it useful one bit, it was so useless that i had to say who posted this rubbish.

Lo and behold, i got shocked when i saw the moniker popping up grin it was mine grin

So anyways, screenshot of the game is attached, let me feel my self again, i hope i wont find this post very annoying 3 years later smiley

Android full stack, that includes UI/UX, developing using native java, backend apis (php, mysql, firebase)

Roughly 5 years later, I'm laughing at my posts lol, I would say I'm proud of myself, although I want to do better, pay is great, life isn't so good sadly, but pay is way way high up, roughly 2.5m monthly.

I just came here to login my account because i want to run ads for my side project.

Anyway, my version 5 years ago version would be super proud of me
