I do not really like having heyeye convo because i tend to sound like my opinion is based on sunk cost fallacy. here is a bit of my POV.
I read on HN that Sam Altman said they need a lot of cash injection from the US govt as bailout for them to continue to stay afloat to achieve AGI this is like saying "make we fit continue dey build" in addition the current latest version benchmark is not better than previous versions, think of Iphone 17 Pro Max performing less than I5PM. In addition, I personally believe if they have the hidden sauce to release the break through model, they would have without hesitation.
heyeye is great, it does stuff that I struggle with as a junior obviously, but can it do stuff qtguru or other senior eng can do, does it have the emotional intelligence to understand human context? and what happens when the current senior leaves, will they hand over codebases to AI to vibe code it, who will guide it through the process.
even if its vibecoders, you still need to know what you want to acheve or how to go about it, if you doubt me, well, as a challenge, there's this trending landon norris website, I am yet to see anyone replicate it using Cursor or any of the "premium" models.
My point be say if heyeye go dry jobs, e no go be 2026, and e better make I get the skill make I no use am than I need am but I no get am.

las las, e fit be say you dey use heyeye take cope with how steep Java SE be.

AI is not bad , but most times it breaks my app more than it helps, it's good for boilerplate code, but Claude has context based on your previous code and generates a code style like yours

Glad to be here, I'm going to share my journey and plans towards PR

Forget Canada. Nothing is happening there. Immigrants are having a very rough time there. Better move to Europe

I disagree, I moved here and seen people get jobs and have their live changed, there is something here, it's just that most people come with aduro or without a plan, if you have a good career and know how to network on LinkedIn, it will make a difference, it won't be easy but the ROI for relocating would be worth it. I'm seeing people who were regular citizens in Nigeria have a good life here but at the same time it's alot of work involved.

Good day family, I greet oh. Would be nice to get your thoughts on something.

Say you’re a guy in your early 40s (Got a wife and a kid), based in Naija. You’ve spent over 3 years transitioning from Sales into Tech. Now you have head above water, freelancing as a web developer (Upwork and the rest).

Let’s say you’re now looking to Japa (with or without family, they can come later), and you can raise about ₦50m or more. You’d like to plan it properly and give yourself about 5 years to get PR (Permanent Residency). The goal is to relocate without starting from scratch again or going back to school.

I know the popular routes: Canada Express Entry, UK Tech Nation visa, different Digital Nomad visas. But I’m wondering would they still be what you'd recommend? Or are there other viable and maybe less expensive routes that make sense? Especially ones you’ve tried personally or know people who have. I don’t mind learning a new spoken language, but I want to stay in Tech (programming, or something related that my software Development skills would still come in handy) as a career.

You can explore the Portugal residency it eventually leads to PR and while it might not be the US/Canada you will have access to EU region, the cost of living is not crazy and there is a community of digital nomads.

Personally Portugal would be my next option if Canada doesn't work out for me.

All the best, you should leave naija and get a second passport and be shuttling between countries.

If the world was left in an African man's hand, a whole lot of animals would have gone extinct.

Nose and waist can't stand hose, but I like the ear one a lot

guess you did not leave the space after all

my full-time job is already Chrome extension, but you're right I left but came back because of fast money. I still get invites from Upwork

3exe3:
ever tried ml ?

no maybe in the future

The guy/team that worked on this are very smart. They can partner with platform tools and all, I am working on something like this too but for Chrome extension integration. Great work

How do i go about optimizing my profile
Any tips?

https://www.upwork.com/freelancers/~01cc1c25d320513311

Your profile is already good, it's just that the niche you serve is saturated, I do mostly Enterprise platforms and core programming so I avoid some webdev like html,css gigs, if you were tied to a platform like WordPress or something using those same webdev skills, you'd thrive plus Upwork is not the same as before too.

It's still good just that there's more money in Shopify consultancy.

I decided to resume this, since I have long stopped writing Chrome extension for Upwork, I plan to use TypeScript for writing the decorators and have support for Chrome Extension.

I had no idea people were checking this or that it went on the frontpage, thanks all, feel free to ask questions and I work for a US fintech where I manage some extensions and solutions. gracias

This is a question thrown to all, why do women cheat on good men?

You see them saying they want God fearing, gentle and hardworking men, but the slightest given chance they cheat on the said God fearing man which they once asked for.


So, why do women cheat on good men?

Same as why men cheat on good women

Cheating is not that deep for me, I will divorce and find another woman, than being restricted in jail.

Lol back to Upwork, I am hoping it still works as one can use the spare cash. I'm switching niche though this time.

Lol boyfriend turned destiny helper

Tech hasn't casted, I work for a US Fintech however getting a job from Nigeria just makes it tough, I shared my portfolio on LinkedIn and a US company reached out and the rest is history

Yeah sorry a Queue is better, because a constant check is wasteful great job too. What language is this though, however most Queues are language agnostic i think
