FahBuLous:
You have been applying for a job abroad and after so many attempts, you finally got the job, with the excitement and all, you told your babe about it and she said "if you leave for abroad that it's over between you guys" saying that you will dump her for a white woman, what would you do?

For me, I'll head to court and add her to my application so we can go together if we can save for it, unless you don't see a future with her.

The creator of C++'s website.

Paystack:
When you start adding CSS you can tell us.


Seems you were depressed when creating that

No I disagree some top engineers have similar site like Bjarne, failure2019 is different type of programmer, he's into C++ and low level stuffs so he doesn't need to have a fancy site. The knowledge in the site is core value for us engineers not the UI. E.g his Chip8 emulator code on his GitHub is something I've learned during my childhood "emulation", for him to be interested in low level stuff like that already means he's a different calibre of dev. Most of us are web developer, so he deserves some respect, if he was on Reddit, he would get a different response, but we Nigerians like to be negative towards each other.

Please what should I give to her.

A good perfume works or some nice jewelleries .

Maryloveth:
Alright, criminal loan agent.

Sha pay your debts,

Maryloveth:
RIP in to whose friend?

Look at the person I have been wasting my time on.

The young debtor who committed suicide

Maryloveth:
Go register your loan company to the appropriate bodies and see if defaulters won't pay the loan they took.
Harassing people and invading their privacy is against the rule governing lending companies in Nigeria,and that's why the federal government is clamping down on those criminals.
There are rules guiding legals loan,but criminals hiding under the guise of loan apps wants to cheat the system by bypassing every protocols that govern legal loan companies,with their criminal interest rate and their criminal loan period.

Criminal loan apps should go do the right thing.

Na so isn't it this same thread, people are talking about how to not pay back, legal or not? we have criminal minds, anyway RIP to your friend. I worked in a company that scores people for loan, and the stats for Nigerians not paying back is very high

Maryloveth:
If you're not an illegal loan agent,why are you pained ?
Is you number inthat list ?
Do you work for the loan app that just murdered a young guy ?
Are you among the murderers?

Why exactly are you pained ?
Lol, there's nothing you can tell me,I know who you are.
Just be careful out there.
Just one day lender taskforce go arrest you and your fellow illegal loan agents.
You will be paraded inthe public like common criminals.
The government will continue to clamp down on you illegal loan apps and companies until you all do the right thing & register under the appropriate bodies.

Should the loan companies just leave defaulters alone ? is that the alternative, you're blaming the loan agent but there's no solution on what happens to the loaned money.

Probarbly checking account balance

Nigerians take loans with the intention of not paying, your friend killed himself not the loan apps.

We are saying the same thing bro!! Game development is capital intensive

And also piracy.

Thanks for the freelance suggestion, but I thought the freelance market is saturated? How can I go about it? Where do I start and on what platform?

I love RTKQuery. I actually prefer it to thunks and even React Query. With it I don't even need to write much logic with slices. And the useMutations and are very helpful. The fact I can make a http request and see the result immediately without having to refresh the page or write any Frontend logic as a placeholder is very useful for me.

Start with Chrome extension and React, you already know enough, I built an extension with RTK, but I don't like it as it triggers the re-render alot. Chrome extension you'll make money and the tasks are meaningful.

Failure2019:
I'm not a web dev not ui ux designer so don't expect mi website to be pretty and modern

100% love it, I love Text driven UI, also the fact you did a Chip 8 emulator, I wanted to do that in the past, but coding for bills and passion is a struggle in Nigeria. keep it up

peterincredible:
Woman woman woman woman woman I just tire for this gender always seeking for drama and attention

It's not gender, LikeAKing have shared the same sentiment too

Emmacy001:
Javascript is broad not even what you can master within a short time.

JavaScript is massive, most people talk about JavaScript ECMAScript and not JavaScript the API and DOM interfaces, JS has so much API ranging from DOM to GPU then now add Chrome API to it. it keeps growing.

Devdevdev:
For those insulting me, just know that I've been learning for months like a mad woman. I'm not your average developer. I have time and I'm not in any rush. Even though I'm still a junior I'm very intelligent and learning at a fast pace.

Despite criticizing JavaScript and the CSS crap, I know how to use them well oh. In just 7 months of learning:

I've used Javascript to solve problems on Codewars up to Kata 4, I've solved lots of questions on Hackerrank and I've solved lots of leetcode easy questions with optimal solutions. Again I'm not your average beginner dev.

I've learned react to an advanced level and by that I mean I've learned routing, data fetching using server side state management tools like React Query; learned how to cache data and use mutations. I've also learned Redux tool kit and RTKQuery(builders and thunks) and I've built full stack applications with it using Nodejs and express on the backend and MongoDB and Mongoose as database and object modeling tool respectively.

I know Typescript to intermediate level. Learning C# even makes Typescript look like trash. But at least it's better than JavaScript.

I have learned 3 CSS libraries: Tailwind, Material UI, Styled Components and the preprocessor SASS. I know how to use animation libraries like framer motion. I can use React hook form and Yup.

On the backend I've learned Authentication and Authorization using JsonWebTokens, cookies and password encryption using bycrpt. I've learned the MVC structure of Models, Views and Controllers and always implement them in my api projects. I can do error handling. And I'm still learning more stuff like Scalability, security, sockets and writing tests.

Still I don't think I'm even ready for a job. Yes I can gain experience working blah blah, but I'm still learning. And I am not under any illusion that those crap skills i listed up there are enough to call myself a junior developer. Until I learn C#, .Net and SQL and build backend apps with them and leetcode to medium level with C#, only then I'll be able to call myself a junior dev.

The job market is tough and I'm going to put every effort to make sure I'm a step above my peers. I know frontend better than all those junior clowns on Twitter that are calling themselves frontend developers with their nonsense projects that will take me 30 minutes to finish. Yet I will never call myself a frontend developer.

Try Freelance, most people do basic JavaScript, there are some projects are a mix of Frontend and Backend, with Freelance you can work for clients without having to stress over interviews.

The fact you can use RTK Query is enough, that toolset is complex and useless though in my opinion. but kudos maybe a bit of humility but regardless I did share the same sentiment too, I felt JavaScript wasn't a proper language which is why i often tout Java to anyone starting, but JavaScript is good, the issue most of the junior devs are BootCamp engineers, rarely do most BootCamp go deep into JavaScript. but regardless all the best.

I haven't been too active here because I spend time mentoring in NexaScale, within the first months, I've gotten people to do projects and enter freelance, but here on NL, it's just insults, continue.

Time will tell, we will know those who talk about code and those who actually code.

A word is enough

Sulele04:
Good evening, Qtguru.

Still expecting your response boss. 🙏

Try udemy, I only read the official doc

Let me help you

1. Inverter will reduce your fuel cost and consumption in the long run.
2. Food, try buying in bulk, but 2k a day is not bad but buying in bulk is cheaper
3. Reduce the outgoing
4. Reduce Gift to people
