Car Talk / Re: My Neighbour Jacked Up My Car by sanmisamuel: 8:54pm On Feb 16
Think of it this way,

You sold your car to him, with the agreement of him owning the car for a period of 1 year upon completion of payment . (Hire purchase)

He drove the car and after 1 year he realized he could get the same car at half the price. He offered to return your car in exchange for he’s money. How would you feel.?

Ok let me just add. That you used an escrow service and he can take all the money he paid back at will.

Lol, you are wrong with your research boss man


Let’s not derail


I’m in month 9 in alx


Are you an alx graduate or not?


No one passes through the system without a shift, except the person intentionally wasted his time

Beginning my 3rd sprint, and i'm grateful i applied.

i understand it may not be free again.

but if you have the opportunity, i recommend you go for the full programme.

if you're unemployed and you have 1 year to spear take the chance.

even though you can afford it try and get there resources and try there tasks as you learn. you will gain.

Why i love the programme is that, at one point you will realise it's not just about the code, but how you arrange your instruction for the computer to follow.

helped me appreciate computer science as a course.

if you have the opportunity again to get the programme for free, please take it.

i can't guarantee you will have a job afterwards but i can tell you. You will grow less dependent on video tutorials to build projects.

Devopsguy:
Last year many people where disturbing this forum with ALX software engineering 12 month program. My question is where are they working now, does it mean that they don't graduate? why the sudden silence about ALX after just one year of social media marketing.

Some of them are still in the program and Some have dropped out. Ask those that actually graduated from the program, they will tell you. It's a life changing experience.

I'm not looking to sell the program. I got it free. But what I learnt, I am grateful for.

If you follow the program's path well, without copying and pasting, you don't succumb to the pressure of passing the threshold.

You would do well, and I mean very well.

Getting a job is dependent on how well you can sell yourself.

But if it is about building a project and you claim to pass through alx. Not copy and paste through. Forget it.

One thing I know and seen is they get jobs. Most of them end up backend engineers .

https://github.com/gayanvoice/top-github-users.git

Check the top contributors in Nigeria . You would see alx and micro verse.

I can vouch for their engineers

Computers / Re: Post Your Computer (PC) Troubles Here. by sanmisamuel: 5:33pm On Sep 26, 2023
Good evening,

Is there any one who can advise me on what to do.

I changed my battery earlier this year.
As at last month I noticed the battery life was reducing drastically.

Yesterday while I was trying to use it. I plugged it. Once it got to 5% it went off on its own.


So I tried removing the plug and plugging it back. It refused to come on. Neither was it showing any symbols to denote battery icon.

I took it back to where I bought the battery. They changed the battery, but it's still not coming on.


Is there anyone who as faced same issues?

What can I expect from this case?

Thanks

Godfullsam:

What is the cost? Someone just said it cost 300$, how true is it?
i just noticed the cost is now $400 admin fee(for entry).

thats on the high side for an average nigerian. i recommended it because of the program is actually better than a lot of this other bootcamps.
I've spent 3 months with them and i appreciate the program a lot.


Godfullsam:

What computer spec is good for learning software engineering conveniently?
i can't actually recommend a spec. i've seen people run the program with just there phones(although it's not recommended)
but getting a laptop with good battery and can run a linux os would help you. an average laptop would do the work.


Godfullsam:

I just purchased a fairly used HP Elitebook laptop. 8gig ram, 6th generation, 256SSD, coore15 less than 1 gig dedicated graphic with 12.5 screen size. Am I good to go?
Perfect.

Godfullsam:

Is the program flexible for someone doing 9am - 5pm job?
it is very demanding. my first attempt at the program. i couldn't keep up.
Task where dropping practically everyday. The pressure is also much. when you see people completing task you're struggling with.

if your job is demanding. you may find it hard. as you may be tired at the end of the day. the task need a lot of focus for beginnners.
Programming / Starting My Alx Journey by sanmisamuel: 9:55am On Aug 05, 2023
Introduction

My name is Sanmi, and I just finished the third month of my software engineering program at ALX School. I manage a small business that helps people renew their car documents from the comfort of their homes. I started my business with WordPress and used plugins to offer different services, but I quickly realized that I needed more control. I wanted to build my business the way I wanted to, so I began learning to code.

What I've Learned About the Program

Alx is not your typical four-year college program. It's a fast-paced, demanding program that requires you to understand concepts and solve problems in a short amount of time. You're expected to work for at least seven hours a day, and you'll need to be self-motivated and disciplined in order to succeed.

One of the most important things I've learned in the program is the importance of mindset. You need to be determined and willing to work hard if you want to succeed. You also need to be open to feedback and be willing to learn from your mistakes.

Another important thing I've learned is the importance of community. The Alx community is very supportive, and there are always people willing to help you if you're stuck. I've found that joining peer learning groups and reaching out to mentors have been invaluable resources.

Asking for Help

One of the best things you can do in the Alx program is to ask for help when you need it. There are many resources available to you, so don't be afraid to reach out. I've found that Stack Overflow has been a great resource for finding answers to my questions.

Conclusion

Alx is a challenging program, but it's also very rewarding. If you're willing to put in the work, you can learn a lot and build a strong foundation in software engineering. I'm excited to continue my journey in the program, and I know that I'll be a better software engineer because of it.

Additional Thoughts

In addition to the things I've already mentioned, here are a few other thoughts I have about the Alx program:

It's a great way to learn the fundamentals of software engineering.
It's a challenging program, but it's also very rewarding.
The community is very supportive.
There are a lot of resources available to you.
If you're interested in learning software engineering, I highly recommend the Alx program. It's a great way to get started in the field and build a strong foundation in the fundamentals.

Thank you for reading!

Car Talk / Re: Please Help Me With Driver's License by sanmisamuel: 9:54am On Mar 29, 2023
Onetenth:
Good afternoon house,

How can u come to my rescue?

Since I came back from prison things haven't been rousy for me, but as a man I have to get myself together because I have a son and aged mother to look after.

God glory is about shining upon me, after few weeks of searching for uber on hire purchase, I was finally able to meet a couple who has few cars they give out on hire purchase.

They have met with me, interviewed me and also visited my house and met my mom and our church elder who stood has guarantors for me.

There's an uber and bolt acct available already

But my problem now is I don't have a driver's license, and these people have given me d grace to get one which will take about a month plus to get.

Please house, help me here, Come to my aid. I have 12k in my bank account. I made inquiries about the dl, and I was told 3 years is 30k while 5 years is 35k

I really need to start the processing tomorrow so atleast these couple can see I'm serious.

Anyone in the house to help me complete the money or probably refer me somewhere I can do it.

These isn't a scam or anything false, I'm just a young man striving to survive and live a fair life

Firstly, are you renewing your driver's license or is it fresh.

Secondly where is your location?

If I can help.

My brother, avoid lapo like a plague. Look into kuda microfinance bank for overdraft. If its for small transactions you need it for.

Carbon if you're looking for a lumpsum. I don't recommend them. But they are more reasonable to deal with. Interest rate is very high 5% per month

Renmoney is another one. They would borrow you. But you may not be happy with your self at the end of the day.

The problem is not the battery but the energy efficiency of the laptop itself. Older laptops have power-consuming CPUs.

You cannot buy a 10 naira watch and expect it to have an alarm.

If you can pull out a 4 hour run from your old and cheap laptop, you have tried. If you want more juice, you gotta pay.

HP mini laptop? What kind of programming do you do with that?

Help me understand what kind of programming you do. I built a website with that hp mini laptop.

What would you now call people that work with vi editors or enmacs.

Or people can't build website with that as well?
Programming / Re: Please Programmers Here Your Advise Is Needed by sanmisamuel: 10:34am On Jan 14, 2023
truthCoder:


Apologies if we offended you.

Core i7 and core i5 price differences are minimal when compared to their values. Forget greedy resellers and look for the bulk importers.

Lenovos are business machines and can be gotten relatively cheap if you know how to look. HP and Dell are more expensive because of demand, not quality.

If your laptop cannot run VS Code, then you need a better laptop. This is 2023. Telling people who want to buy a laptop to buy a very low capacity device 'just to start' is unfair. He would be done with HTML in a few weeks. Then what? He starts looking for another Laptop?

If you want to buy a laptop, buy one that will last you for at least a year or more. You cant be learning HTML for one year.

We all know html and css can be understood even in a day. But a lot more people get stuck on JavaScript for longer period. JavaScript is where you ask yourself if you really want to program.

My first editor was notepad++, before I came across sublime text. Then vs code, tried atom but went back to vscode. Vscode makes work easier no doubt. It's like comparing a car with manual to automatic. Anybody can learn with both manual or automatic. They would be fine. But saying don't learn in beetle because it's manual is how I relate to your advice. If you can afford a Benz. Fine but a beetle also does the job.

And by the way am not offended. I just want more struggling people to get in the field. That's all
Programming / Re: Please Programmers Here Your Advise Is Needed by sanmisamuel: 10:24am On Jan 14, 2023
This laptop would build a normal static website. Reasonable to learn with. At least it was my sidekick during tough times. I didn't have to break the bank or go beyond my means to learn.

Vs code is a great editor. And all but over the years I've come to understand the beauty about programming is the fact that it's for the nobodies. People are now learning even on their phones. Waiting for 80,000 naira laptop or 150,000 naira laptop just makes me laugh.

I got my first laptop an elite book for 10k in installmental payment back in 2016. It changed my life.

I once took a class on credit. Paid halfway through the program. This are decisions I'm grateful for.

It's easy to say the op can go for a better laptop and all that, but we are not in the op's shoe. But I believe we can learn on a budget.

Html, css, JavaScript, python, c. Are just a bunch of files. The editors we use are tools. And if that's the case, there are tools for even a pentium 3. This same laptop every one is complaining about were once used to build crazier things.

But a static website is what you require a bazooka for.

Op. It's a good advice to get a good laptop If you can. If you are working with frameworks you would need better laptops. Not because the older laptops can't do the job. But because they require patience to work with. Their boot time is work. And they would process a lot slower. But if you decide on getting a laptop for the long term. And you arr willing to save a lot more. Go for a MacBook.

Even if you had a 100k budget. Same people would tell you it's not enough get a better one.

You would Hardly get a core i5 for less than 60k. Even the Acer mini with the picture I attached is about 30k currently I think(not so sure) and once used it to edit a couple of things on some website. I might not like because it's slow. But if I had no choice it's a keeper. What am saying is op. Get your foot in. If you're still learning html, css and JavaScript. You would only be working with files.

But which ever way you go. I believe you will be fine. Best of luck

My advice to you. If you're just starting. Worry less about the laptop. . Try get a laptop with good back up battery. For your editor, you can use sublime text. Html, css, JavaScript are basic files that don't take much power and space to run. It sometimes annoys me when I read comments like get a core i7, get a this. Get a that.

If you can afford a better laptop. By all means got for an upgrade. They are faster and run smoother. But if it's to practice html, css JavaScript. You will be fine.

Just create your first html file and see.

It's abt a guy whose only son and child had heart failure and needed a heart transplant that cost $250,000. The guy sold all that he had to save his only child. Just because the money he managed to raise was not enough, the doctor(s) refused to attend to him. This guy had to do the undo in the hospital just to save his only begotten son.

He's telling you, he doesn't trust you. Probably he's trying to have a meaningful conversation with you. Sometimes ladies think sex is every thing a guy wants. The guy probably is trying to know you via a meaningful conversation. Truthful conversation between both of you. He may be telling you things but you're not listening. Your judgement is clouded because you like him right now.

Business / Re: .. by sanmisamuel: 3:39pm On Sep 19, 2022
Mibrondo:
As a young person, I saved up money and had plans to start up a small farm business. Something instantly came up around me and out of kindness, I decided to help the situation with some of the money I want to use for my farm business. It was the help I gave out is what backfire me. I was not able to retrieve back my money from this persons. I regret each time I look at this man in regret and all I see on him was wickedness. Someone that has no conscience at all. A person who will always pay back good with evil.

I decide not to give up but continue to invest everything I had in my farm plans. It was at this breaking point I run to nairaland for little small financial donation. Unfortunately, I was not able to get any dime on nairaland.

I received good advice from Surolog and Olojuobinrin who told me about loan app. I was full of hope again but this was my experience with them. I never even believed I will someday fill my life data info on loan website

1. Branch.com.ng. I download and install their app. Registered, filled all my data, BVN, bank account, street city and state address. I even uploaded a photo and my account verification succeffull. I was only eligible with option of 2000 or 1000 naira. I click option one but I was told I cannot apply for load at gos time. I should try in 30 days later.

2. Carbon.
Since branch reject giving me loan, I download and install carbon app. Registered, and fill all my data, BVN, bank account, resident address including city and state. Uploaded a photo and my account verification successful. I aplied for 10,000 naira, they told me they will get back to me, which they have not.

3.Fairmoney
Since carbon has not respond to me, I then download and install fairmoney app. Registered and fill all my life data, NIN, bank account, resident address including city and state. Uploaded a photo and my account verification succeffull. THEY INSTANTLY DECLINE THEIR LOAN OFFER.

My next move and worries now is how to delete my account and datas from the three fake online loan app.


One advice I would give you avoid any loan app for now. If you don't you will end up frustrated.

Options for financing

1)Talk to family and friends.

2)The bank you currently using approach them and ask for loan options you can access. Their loan interest rate is little. I know of gtb with 2% interest rate for account holders.

3) buy on credit if possible


4) ask for help online.


Borrowing money from loan shark to start a non existing business is a recipe for disaster
