Oversaturated with qualified devs ? cuz Senior Engineers are still scarce.

Lagos is overrated, unless you're making massive money.

You could search on Github using search filters like python, JavaScript, react, etc. After seeing the project you like, read the project readme to understand what it does, why it does it and how it does it that way.

You could then help by:
1.Writing or improving on the documentation
2.Write articles about the project(How-to, etc)
3.Add features you like or improve on existing ones(features like maybe a GUI if doesn't exist)
4. Look at open issues you could address in the project
5. You could even do translation of readme files if such projects need it


But it would be better to first search on Github for opensource projects that help devs on using Git and Github for opensource contributions. Repos like the Eddiehub, first-time contributions, etc

My little sense

Oh... you could search on GSoC repos on Github to look for ones you contribute to, too

Those 2 are always the best, as you get to learn about the project structure as you read and document.

If you know Svelte and can help maintain Svelte devtool, you will be popular. it's Chrome API/ JS/ HTML

It is still a better deal for most Nigerians considering where we are coming from.

When they get there, settle in, enjoy the stable electricity and saner clime as we love to call it - then their expectations would increase and that is when the grumbling begins.

However, it remains a better deal when compared to our 200k Nigerian salary. Though there are cases of misinformation and bogus/unrealistic expectations.

The only average person that can give you money in this Dec 2022 is your relative abroad. Life is hard in Nigeria.

Fact, next year alot of us are porting, the cost of Lagos makes no sense for the money one pays.

I no get any ego to show here. I'm still struggling with understanding design patterns.

I understand design patterns are how code are structured to solve problems good.

Qtguru when does algorithm comes in.

In my experience it's when performance is key, a function that takes 5 secs to go through all items in array might prob take more time, when going through 1 million items, so Algo and DS comes in that context, so u can know your order of growth and best algo to run at optimal time.

People used to claim Apple stole ideas. Now it’s clear Apple’s only source of creativity was him. Apple hasn’t done anything but resize stuff ever since he died.

M1 processors are nothing ?

Home wrecker

Paul cheated and I can understand that, but for Basketmouth, it's easy to judge from outside.
