It's fun because it helps people increase their productivity. Appreciate
Programming › Re: Is Pre-coded Function Possible - Need Answers by qtguru(m): 4:23pm On Dec 02, 2022
y3mi:
I hereby respectfully ask veteran coders in the house. Would it be possible to build a function into a web app in such a way that it wont be revealed i.e. readily accessible until much later i.e. already coded as part of the source code of a website or mobile app, a feature is built into the source code land page but is not visibly accessible until the coder decide to make it available for its users to make use of.

Example, we all know Nairaland doesn’t have a chat function or dislike button, two features which can be build into it anytime but let’s assume it has already been part of it from inception but was decided to be unlock or made available now. That’s the question I’m asking.

Yes it's possible, it's not as complex , it's the same as just not showing it, displaying it, or adding it to the DOM Tree

The data is from a pretrain Large language models (LLMs) using prompt commands .Having been trained on large amounts of content already, the model can often produce the right outcomes based on a simple task . In the large language models (LLMs) with Generative AI, this task description is called a prompt.

Example of prompt are :

Text to image
Text to 3d
Text to audio
Text to videos
Text to 2d
Text to speech synthesis

These tools will end up replacing repetitive jobs, or being integrated with IDEs, Copilot is doing something like this.

I have been there, there was a time, I had a laptop and it will go off the moment NEPA Struck

This is the advice that I can think of, getting Tech jobs are hard because you need to prove yourself, most companies want devs that can take on jobs with minimal training, and it's not the basic design of static sites, it's understanding JS and building applications at least.

The easiest way is freelance, a job is harder to get than freelance, I do Chrome Extension and it's actually easy than building a React Application, that's a niche to try, if not find non-tech gigs like WordPress Content manager.

As for power, that one is a difficult one.

If someone advises you, people, you people reply with insults, which is another reason, a referral is hard on this section, how can I refer a dev that insults people for no reason?

Ciao

She can hire a Wordpress developer as well. Everything can be done in just 2 to 3 hours with a Wordpress theme and few plugins.
Why is your site being flagged by Google, you should look into it. are you using WordPress ?

UI/UX gigs are tricky, but most of the job is done, if you have a good case study and Figma designs, without that, you're just wasting your time. The Case-studies, user research, Personas and low-fidelity and high-fidelity designs.

There is someone here on this thread who has a good UI/UX profile, I commented on it, look at his profile, any category you are interested in, always look at those freelancers from Google search and see what type of jobs they are doing, and the type of skills they have. These things are few minutes that will give insights on how to approach gigs.

We can't be repeating the same advice, page by page, which is why every freelancer is always encouraged to always do their research. this is a competitive market, don't always expect hand-outs honestly.

It's really not complex, just have a good portfolio and apply to those jobs, there's nothing a group can do for you except encourage you to have a good portfolio and apply for jobs.

Her category and yours differ, how her clients will check for portfolios is different from yours,

Do you have a Figma link? Behance
Do you have a portfolio of designs
Are they up to quality?

Also using my business name corporate TIN because I don't have a personal one, the business name isn't in my legal name but it's registered in my legal name, I don't know if this won't cause wahala. Like why do they even need our TINs? Are they going to start taxing us?
Not sure, but I think to confirm that we are not US Citizens, what I don't know is; if Upworks can share our payment history with FIRS.

It is. Simply update with your TIN.



Sadly, you don’t use another person’s details for any reason on Upwork - you risk a ban. This is the problem with being in Nigeria and claiming another country. The lies and covering up never ends. cry

Edit: Found this on an Upwork group. Is it now by force? grin
I don't have Individual TIN only Corporate, I will use it
