ProgrammingRe: Controller-based routing by qtguru(m): 4:48pm On Feb 19, 2025
Karleb:
Controller based routing is a terrible idea.

Imagine an app that has 200 routes, now you will have to go to each controller file to know which route actually exists.

Please put your routes in a separate file.
Not always Spring boot and NestJS handles it just fine. Most controllers have a Base endpoint as long as you name it based on your controller, it should be easy to find. But putting in a file seems more organized, but I prefer the decorator approach

Airtel unlimited data still saving the day!

Since for my house, we plenty wey wan watch youtube, facebook videos, instagram, tiktok, download heavy files ... mtn isn't an option!

The airtel still works veeeeeeery fine!

20k per month!!!

Programmers/Tech guys should arrange themselves ... cut down excessive spending, work on smart ways to invest the little money they have ...

Nothing like buying a 4 million naira laptop when all u have it 6M (except you've just signed new contract thats worth about 5M) ...

Until you're sure of another source that commensurate with your spending, don't blow that money o!
That is why I always go for Thinkpads, no need to spend excess cash on laptop, as for Data I would think spectranet might be an affordable plan especially with night free browsing.

RomanceRe: Has Your Girlfriend Ever Ghosted You For Days Before And Later Called? by qtguru(m): 2:17pm On Feb 13, 2025
Rabiu4190:
There's a psychology behind ghosting.


More often than not, it's young women who frequently ghost men for this reason:

If your girlfriend is between the ages of 18-25, she's always being hit upon (toasted) by several men. It so happens while she's dating you, she will meet guys who are better than you. Rather than break things off, she will take a break from the relationship to try the new guy out. She won't return your calls, spend weekends unavailable, appear to be moody. She's testing the waters with new guy while still guaranteed your commitment. At that moment, you're her backup plan.

If new guy is better/richer/funkier and if he offers commitment, after a month of ghosting you, she will break things off officially. If the dude doesn't match you, she'll make up some BS reason to return. Ghosting is the warning sign your competition is auditioning for her affection.

Don't just take my word for it, there are countless examples where this actually happened. Listen to the guys in this video narrate how their girlfriends ghosted them for over a week and a month.
That's not what Ghosting means

Can you give us tips on the Cold mailing?
I appreciate you in advance.
I used ChatGPT, but I tend to use LinkedIn, get their email and see what their product is around, then generate a portfolio so I could show them, it's easier than just asking for job without portfolio.

1. It's almost impossible for top clients to reach out to you unless you're on expert level and have a trailer load of completed projects up your sleeves.

2. I used to think that if a client is suspended connects would be refunded. Cos I've once seen a job where when I tried to apply I was told that the client is suspended. So those who applied would their connects be refunded? I've never experienced job cancelation before tho.

Nazgul:
The problem I have with upwork on this their connect jobs is that most clients still leave their job ads open even after getting the hands they need. Thus making people waste their connects apply for them.

I applied for a particular project management job is saw on the 20th of December. (normally I do save jobs I apply for so that I can follow it and know what's up) the client reached out 2 days later, fixed an interview twice and hired myself and someone else.

When I checked the job is saw 2 hires yet the job was still open. Someone who doesn't know his way around upwork would just waste his connects applying for it.

There should be a connects refund system for jobs that no longer exists. Cos spending $45 to buy 300 connects no be beans.
So you get a connect refund when:

1. A top client responds to your proposal
2. Job is cancelled

It's not easy

Evening.

For developing extensions which do you think is recommended for the front-end?

React+Tailwind combo
or
plain Vanilla Js + Any method of CSS
Well I am moving to Vue but any framework works, React works with Tailwind. I have a sample real-life extension with Stripe integration, sadly posting my repo will get me flagged, check for TwiterTAg for dojovader on github

CareerRe: The Sad Lives Of Freelancers In Nigeria by qtguru(m): 11:53pm On Jan 16, 2025
Freelancing has been a saving grace for me, even though it's nothing I would like to depend on, during my stay in Malta I had no full-time job, and I had to depend on Upwork, now imagine paying 450 euro every month for rent without a year and never missing any.

I had to learn alot, you see when it comes to freelancing, you have to turn on, the researching and marketing aspect of your brain. For the researching part, you have to think what do the customers want ? and How do you position yourself to them ?

You know they quality, so you improve your portfolio, How do you position yourself to them ? by being in proximity, so what that meant was me joining Reddit, LinkedIn, some slack channels and forums, and also contributing.

Currently I sit at Upwork as a Top rated in my field, but what I do is research what field is lucrative, some people have this mindset of " I am a writer so I will only do writing gigs", when it should be I can write, what other skills can I upskill in.

However I will not deny that the Nigerian situation makes it much harder, but I believe that by putting yourself out there and upskilling things will eventually work out.

So my experience with freelancing has been good enough to survive. At least I know that in a month I can minimum of $800 even though it's not idea but it's manageable.

Upskilling and marketing i believe is an important skill to succeed as a freelancer, once those are covered then networking comes in.

Emeraldfynest:
Please I need help if someone has experienced something similar. A contract didn`t go as expected and the client requested for an escrow refund which I approved, but it seems I also have to give the client feedback for the approval to be successful.
Upwork sent a reminder again this morning that the money will be returned to the client automatically after 7 days (I have 2 days to approve or reject the request). Will my account be suspended for not approving the request?
Happens to the best of us,

Zombieoppressor:
tell me more bro
Cost of naira to buy connects is the main issue. Too much of a risk, I would advise people to try LinkedIn or Reddit and once they make some money they can invest on Upworks.
