Thanks man but 10 hours a day is to much nah

See who wants to become a developer saying 10hrs a day is too much. You still have to wake up in the midnight and still code. No laziness if you're serious about solving real world problem with learning a programming language

Tech is honestly the best industry to get into right now. The opportunities are numerous. Almost every job vacancy out there is tech this tech that, developer this and developer that. I stayed in school for 4 years studying for a useless engineering degree and I have never in my life seen a vacancy for the rubbish I studied but there are tech roles every day. But in spite of so many jobs in tech, a lot of new developers struggle to get opportunities. I started being active in the tech community recently and I am meeting developers who have been coding for 5 to 7 years but have never had an opportunity. Talking with them has led me to discover that it's actually not the tech industry but a few of the reasons I am listing below.

1. You follow the trends: A lot of us developers love to focus on the sexy trendy stuff. Newsflash, what is sexy and trendy isn't used and even when used is used by very few companies. So millions of people who have struggled to learn the sexy stuff are all going to fight for those few roles out there. Take for example the latest coolest CSS framework tailwind. It's really cool and hyped up and it's like the go-to framework right now but the thing is in the industry people are still using bootstrap. People are learning tailwind but they don't know the number one CSS framework out there. Just because something is cool and sexy doesn't mean that everyone is going to switch to it overnight.

If you give junior developers a chance between Angular, React, and Vue. A lot of people are going to pick Vue. They will say it's sexy and cool and has a ton of GitHub stars. There are jobs using Vue but they are so few compared to React and Angular that you would be pigeonholing yourself by learning that. Theres a whole of difference between coding for fun and coding to get a job.

2. You have unrealistic expectations: This is something I usually see on Reddit cscareerquestions but it seems to becoming a norm amongst everybody. People believe that if your salary isnt starting at 100k USD a year or you dont work for a tech company, you arent a developer. Its so elitist and unfortunately a lot of developers in Nigeria are beginning to have this mindset. They learn HTML, CSS, JS. They have built absolutely no projects but because someone said you need the knowledge of DSA to get a job they immediately start grinding leetcode day and night with the hope of getting into Google. You learnt to code from a Udemy course and you really want to compete at DSAs with people who went to MIT. People who have been doing competitive programming since 5 years old. People who get gold medals at the international olympaids of informatics like its nothing. . Funny enough, I also had this mindset when I was learning to code but corrected myself later on. The truth is that not every tech job out there tests with DSA or needs knowledge of DSA and not everybody must work for a big tech company. This reasoning is so flawed. It is like saying every lawyer must work for law firms like wale olanipekun and co or every engineer must work for exxonmobil. There are a ton of jobs that will pay you well as a junior developer like really well and you need not struggle to get them. They wont test you with DSA. They would only look at the complexities of your projects and go through them with you. By well paid I am talking of 500k and above. Ask yourself how many people asking you to do DSA in Nigeria have not yet worked at Google. There are even whatsapp groups dedicated to DSA and if you cant solve one you are kicked out. The person giving you DSA is not working at Google or Facebook hmm give yourself a brain o.


3. You do not know how to cut off the bullshit from social media: There's so much information out there today but if you don't know how to cut off the bullshit from what you need, you would waste your time. A lot of influencers and creators are putting information out there for themselves. They follow the algorithms and put out what is going to give them the most value in terms of money for their time. If I put out WordPress content, nobody will watch it but if I go out there and make MERN stack tutorials I would be getting millions of views but to be truthful you do not need the MERN stack as a junior. No one is using MongoDB in prod. Very few websites use Nodejs. You are just limiting yourself with that. If you want to be a full stack developer look at things like C# and Java springboot. Those pay really really well and there are even certifications you can acquire in those frameworks that can help get you opportunities at enterprise companies that use them especially if you don't have a computer science degree.

4 Your projects are not worth paying for: People put out calculators, todo lists, tictactoe games and a lot of bullshit on their portfolio and wonder why they aren't getting interviews. You have applied for 100 jobs and haven't been called back and you absolutely do not know the reason why. Nobody is going to hire you with a to-do list and a calculator on your portfolio. Even if you get an interview, is a calculator something you are going to show your interviewer. What happened to making a social media application, a chat application, a blog, an analytic tool, a dashboard. Something that people actually use in the real world every day. I remember one of the first interviews I have, one of my projects was a payment application I used paystacks API for. Everything was done with HTML, CSS and Javascript and once my interviewer saw the project and the button I used to connect the API, he made an offer to me immediately. Your projects matter especially as a beginner. One solid project is better than 100 garbage projects.

5 You don't research: Honestly, in this tech thing, I take what everyone is saying as bullshit. The senior developer I work with an Australian guy was telling me to learn web assembly if I really want to get a job with visa sponsorship which I so desperately need. I am tired of remote especially doing it from this shithole zoo of a country. I went to Linkedin Jobs and various countries indeed websites and I couldn't even see up to 500 jobs total in web assembly. Why would I waste time learning something that has no jobs because it might be relevant in ten years. Nodejs came out in 2009 and it is still not relevant in 2021. What is the probability that web assembly will be relevant in 2031. Research. When people tell you to learn a technology. Go to linkedinjobs and indeed and check how many jobs exist for that technology worldwide. People always advise you from their own point of view but the point of view of a senior developer in America, Europe or Australia is not the same for you a junior developer in the world's poverty capital.

Tech pays provided you do it right men.

Gbamsolutely!! You nailed it bro!! Let me add my own. We have some Nigerian junior developers that they don't want to learn one programming language and be the best at it. They prefer jumping from one language to other without fully understand anyone of them. I think programming is not about learning every language, the best idea is to fully understand and know a language.

All those ladies that cook these indomies should please signify I want to dash each of them something huge, nice and fantastic!!!

Thief want to probe Thieves

like seriously what is this paystack all about

It is an E-payment system like Paypal Skrill Neteller

Education in Nigeria is total nonsense

All these people get money pass African countries combined

Haahaa!! 3 private jets for what? shey Suleiman won do NASA evangelism nii abi SpaceX anointing project?

Let's hope for the best. You will see many turn up. Nigeria got talent. NIGERIANS are well gifted and talented but there is no better environment for us to showcase the raw talent.

Useless rich people with empty brain all they know is just to remain in government by defecting from one political party to other you will never see them talking about human development, bringing in technology firms companies to Nigeria, debating on establishment of digital innovation centres and hub in Abuja, Lagos Kano, Ibadan, PortHarcourt, Enugu or Kaduna .

You're clearly not ready for responsibilites from your statement but that tiny rope between your legs is trying to help you do the thinking by pushing you to have sex with her "just to know if she's telling you the truth". And she's told you if anything happens not to leave her but you still want to go ahead knowing full well that you won't commit to her.

My sincere advice.

Op, do you have the money to cater for a family now? Use your brain, leave sex out of this relationship. Sex is overrated because after everything, your senses will come back and reality will strike you hard, by what time it is too late.
This is how you bring problems for yourselves just because of five mins madness.

Which kind 5 minutes the only minutes you enjoy is when you said baby am gonna cum and she replied come on baby! come on baby! cum inside me baby then you now pull out your penis with your condense milk to the floor. Sex na very stupid thing

Even web development is hardly enjoyable with a four gig ram laptop. Damn

Have you experienced this before?

My dear fellow Android developers please make sure you have a Laptop of at least 8GIG RAM when developing your App in Android Studio because recently, there are a lot of updates on Android Studio and I found out that 4GIG RAM laptop even without installing the Emulator can no longer run Android Studio smoothly without hanging and stopping for 10 to 15 minutes which tends to make writing your code and project really frustrating.

Not magic or sorcery it's just a programming language if else statement at works bro!! That's the power of real time programming

You wan kill the person? Why are you people so wicked like this? So you want a single person to develop a web application and a mobile application.
Nigerians will be looking for a person who will do 5 in 1 job for them for peanut
Well, I hope you have fully loaded with cash that is even if you will see a developer who is ready to take the job.

Don't wanna frustrate your life bro Android Studio is the best way to developed Android application it just that recently there are a lot of Android Studio updates which now requires a laptop of at least 8GIG of RAM to really run so well.
Android 4.2 beta 4 and The Android Canary version is sometimes hanging on my 4 GIG RAM laptop even without installing the Emulator unlike the previous versions.
Using Emulator is the best method to test your App even Google recommended it for testing your App
Phone sometimes doesn't really work and came up with errors especially "App keeps stopping" or "App not working" despite all your code are fully green before you compile and run
I have experienced both

So we should replaced them with boys or what exactly..
You had better face your studies.. Small boy

Africans are going backwards in modern technology, digital civilization and innovations but making waves by developing rituals to destroy other people's lives, make money and influence to oppress
Europeans and Americans are developing and more advancing in modern technology to make more life easier and world a better place to live.

Kotlin for iOS? You mean Kotlin Multiplatform? I know it's no longer experimental, but have you tried it before?

Yeah!! I have not tried it but I have read testimonies of people who have tried it and it worked. Write your App once in Kotlin and deployed it to Android and IOS platform through Kotlin KMM platform

Hmmm, let's find out if she is truly 25 by using if else statement

fun main( ) {
val name: String = "Alex"
val age: Int = 25
If ( name < age.toString( ) ) {
println("Alex your is $age is double)
} else if ( Alex == age.toString( ) ) {
println ("Alex is telling us a big lie"
} else
println ( "She is pretty at $age)

}
Only developers who could read code will understand

Nobody can developed a web Application or mobile Application in 2 months. Have you even fully understand the Basics of Java or Kotlin from beginner level to advance level.
It takes you a year or more to fully understand how a programming language works that is even if you're are serious about it and know what you are doing.
You need to practice practice practice practice and practice before you can become an expert at it
Don't let anyone deceive you. Nobody can build a scalable app in space of 2 months especially if you're new to programming

Currently working on a big banga project to build the next Nigeria Netflix. I called this one YouNig where people can create account using their Google or Facebook account to stream HD MP4 videos of all kind of genres for free or download videos to their phone gallery, making comments and reply, share videos they love to watch on social media, updating their profiles plus a lot of other great functionalities in the App.
Code: App will be written in Kotlin language
Platform to download: Android and iOS

It is possible but you need some APIs to do that.. it just like integrating Facebook or Google logging APIs to a website for users to use their social media account to logging

When the North wants to play us, they categorize all of us as just south, asked them which of the south and watch them acting movies for you, they probably want power to go to south west then after, it returns to them, you won't here them mention south East, or south south, all south na South, no body is even talking about middle belts.

I see reasoning for your words
