ProgrammingRe: One JavaScript Study Partner Needed (online or IB) by Sultan5(m): 6:56pm On Jul 24, 2021
roland2rule:
To that ONE serious, self-motivated and committed person that LEARNING programming is the only thing taking 70-80% of their time at the moment......

If you're just starting your programming career and in JavaScript already or just concluding JavaScript & wants to move to Reactjs and you need a study partner, can we team up for rigorous study, updating and drilling (minimum of 10hrs per day, and we will also solve algorithms, build projects, and do series of reporting&meetings(just like Agile practices) via zoom for personal and career growth)....

I have started it already but need 1 person we can both fire on because (learning in group motivate you to build projects and helps you remember more).

I have couple of resources and I also subscribe to some mentorship groups like Scrimba, FrontEnd mentors, plurasight, a bootcamp in IB where i do study when I am not home, YouTube, Twitter tech feeds etc... I currently have a friend in Decagon bootcamp who motivates me and help me in following up Decagon rigourous standards (minimum of 10-16hrs daily drilling).

I started JS about 2 months and I have been able to build a contact application to save phone numbers and some 1-4 small projects. I will start Reactjs by August.... Fullstack is the journey but for now, full focus on Frontend-ReactJs and JS and to get familiar with Backend (Nodejs & MDB) before December...


You can indicate interest by dropping your phone number, I will call you and we progress... �

Fake it till you make it
I have always abided by this policy and it had been working out till now......

This is going to be a lengthy post but please read, I need all the help and advice I can get.

Last year, I got a job by manipulating my CV and being punctual to an interview, but amazingly it provided an opportunity where I could learn on the job, I am a fast learner so I crossed that bridge easily.

I had access to a work laptop and unlimited internet (all through my years in school, I didn't own a laptop , so this is a big deal for me). I thought of the limitless things I could learn online which I couldn't do before, I finally settled on my old time love, programming
(Flashback)
I started learning coding on my phone in 2017 but along the line, I got frustrated and stopped, it wasn't easy without a laptop. Then in 2018/2019, a man on Twitter started an initiative Laptop4Developers, which provided aspiring coders with laptop and a learning environment. NOTE : emphasis on "aspiring". It was the maiden edition and I joyously entered the DM of the guy, spoke at length, told him I was interested and he laid down the conditions of which he only told me I had to get sponsors and RT; people who were going to donate money. I solicited far and wide for support on Twitter. I was living and breathing on Twitter for more than a month , RTing all the posts and commenting, when I didn't even have data, I borrowed, in a hope that I'd win. I finally found someone to sponsor me and he donated money, albeit not enough money to buy a new laptop but he did . I checked the GoFundMe page, all other sponsors were foreign philanthropists.

Long story short, we even exceeded the target , and he increased the number of potential winners . I smiled knowing after all my hard work I was going to get one.
This was when magic happened. Lol
Thats the thing about lies. When you start, you just have to go deeper into it. You probably should have lied say a week in that your laptop was stolen or something and asked if they could help you get one you can use for the main time.

You were on Zuri, did you do any designs during that period that you posted online? If you have any keep them handy. Because you will be asked what you have done. Try coming up with some graphic design as quickly as possible. Since you don't have a pc, you can use canvas on mobile. Try to create as many designs as you can. And if possible build a story around it. Like for example you could say I used this colour to portray the light and fun essence of the brand and stuff like that. Interviewers really like good designs but they also like a good reasoning or story behind it.

Make at least 2 or 3 designs with this in mind. You should be fine. Also try to watch YouTube videos to relearn the basics of designs in case you are asked questions on it. Try learning the basics of one design tool. Maybe Illustrator, photoshop or something. As you may be asked which one you use.

Lastly you have to address your lack of pc. You can tell a lie with a little bit of truth blended in there. You can say it was stolen a few weeks after your conversation with the guy that referred you. And also add that you didn't say anything because you were ashamed just as you said you were initially in your post.

Try not to be too scared going to the interview, just relax they can't kill you. Highest you will be fired, and thats not the end of the world. Just go in relaxed state your case clearly don't over elaborate or explain things. Answer what is asked and end it there. Most times you dig yourself a dipper hole trying to over explain things. Try lieing close to the truth, it makes it easier to keep your story straight. Good luck you will be fine though so don't panic.

Please what could the problem. I just got this update and I've been trying to update as usual but this time around it just gets to 28% or less then it displays network issues. I've tried with mtn n airtel the same problem. What can i do pls
Have you been able to fix it? Well I had similar problem too. And trust my network was strong but for some reason it just didn't download completely always stopping at one point or the other. So I just abandoned the updater all together and downloaded from here https://c.mi.com/miuidownload/index

Something I had spent almost 2 hours trying to download with updater, I downloaded it and updated afterwards in less than 20mins. So if you haven't successfully download the update. Use the link above, select your phone and search for your miui version, you should see the latest one there. Just download it then install it.

To install after downloading. Go to the updater that is settings>about phone>system update. Click the option and select "choose update package". If its not there don’t worry, just click on the miui logo several times until you see a prompt. After which you should see it in the options. Click on it and search for the downloaded rom, select it and follow the prompts to install.

I can come to terms with the bolded but in the last line, you gotta be more objective.

I don't use any of those Infinix or TEcno phones but I just feel having 6GB+ RAM and those huge processors on a cell phone is an overkill, totally uneeded.

It's just a cellphone man, I'm yet to find justification for why a cellphone should be stocked with such heavy resources except of course when gaming is involed, which should be played at home on a console tongue.

I thought you'd do justice, come on...
People have different needs jor. Just because you can't find justification(despite the numerous ones online) for a cellphone being stocked with heavy resources doesn't mean others aren't crying for said resource at lower prices.

Its peoples choice to play game on their phones and not on console. I have a ps4 but I still play pubg on my phone from time to time. All na personal preferences. So don't come here to try to impose your narrative on anyone. No one is forcing you to buy these types of phones.

Heck get a touch light phone(afterall na cell phone), get a laptop for browsing, a camera for pictures and a console for games. Nobody go kill you. Allow us buy wetin we want afterall na free world.

Thats not even the matter now. This guy came on a plane, passed through a busy airport and has been here for 2 days before he was diagnosed. Oh the number of people he has infected. God help us. And these people unknowingly will start infecting their families, neighbours, colleagues at work or school and so many others even before they begin to show symptoms. We are in deep shit now.

SolarKing1:
grin Mckandre, you are supposed to receive award of the "Luckiest" person with SD Cards. Worldwide, I've never heard of any other person that original SD Cards have so much vowed not be useful for, or to always disappoint. You tried so too hard to defend Xiaomi that your claims have become too conspicously truth scared. That's why I was so shocked when you people answered that non of you is a Xiaomi stakeholder or close enough to the Company to tell them where they need to improve.

It's not a "for and against thing". I quoted 2 of you because I don't want to respond anymore after this. Bolded: I want to plead with you both and the rest of Xiaomi defenders as my African brothers. Going by what your words that non of ya is a Stakeholder, we are a Consuming People. It really falls my hand because all along, I boasted outside with you peope here. The way you talk, analyze and paistakingly defend Xiaomi made me think you are part or designing team or that you have affiliation, no matter how small with them. Please, let's focus on unitedly demanding accountability and improvement from all these tech Companies, not just Xiaomi. We would be most foolish and enslaved if we continue to be divided and arguing and fighting each other, over those that can give us far better Value if we unitedly demand. So that you people that don't want SD Card slot would enjoy, and we that find it indiapensable would be happy too. Even as a consuming Nation, we shall thrive if we learn to unite and demand with One Voice. God bless us all.
I don't like being categorised or labelled something I didn't say I am. So don't do that its condescending. But I do get your point, and I only hope you get mine too. I have defended Xiaomi in the past but this wasn't the case here. I was only providing you with an hack based on the reality on ground.

I am the kind of person that likes going for what he truly wants. From your previous posts it sounded like you would have gone for a better phone than RN8 if it had the sd card. So I was like there is otg there na no reason to get anything lesser than what you really want.

Then I asked, why not get a laptop instead? Most of the tech pple I know are know are more focused on the strengths of their laptops than their phones. But I do know know a guy who makes amazing graphic design with his phone. That's why I asked. Out of nowhere someone else that my reply wasn't tailored to, jumped on it and you know the rest.

Xiaomi is great but I don't follow blindly. And I personally don't feel the sd card is necessary. That's my own opinion and I do hope you respect that just the same way I have come to respect yours. 256gb is too much for me. And based on statistics I believe this is true to most average phone users. That's why you see IPhone, Xiaomi and other brands are not too keen on the sd card. Because average phone users make up more than 80% of phone sales.

You are in a minority to be honest. You can freely petition xiaomi or whatever brand you like that don't use SD cards for their top phones or better yet go for Samsung. But to come here and guilt trip me into accepting your narrative just because we are "African brothers" is not something that brings me positive vibes. Just because you have your opinion on the matter doesn't mean we must all accept it and unite with you against phone brands. I don't share your views and that doesn't make my opinion anyless important than yours, that I have to drop it and blindly unite with you undecided

But since you clearly like Xiaomi and don't want to go for Samsung at least for now then using otg isn't that bad of an idea. But it clearly sounds like you don't buy this idea, so get the RN8 instead for now till you get enough cash to get a Samsung phone that will give you everything you personally want. Case closed!

All cos I want to listen to music and play videos
Dude you're very funny.
1st off I didn't quote you, so my advice wasn't for you in any way. The person I quoted said he's a tech person and deals with huge files. Hence my advice about the laptop and otg. If your preference is to watch videos and listen to music I see no reason why a 256gb phn shouldn't be enough to satisfy you.

And getting a laptop with a massive HDD size is in no way a bad advise. You can store your old videos there, allowing more space on ur phn for newer ones.

The slim lightweight laptop was an advice to him. Since he is mostly on the go and this will be easier for him to carry along not putting too much strain on his back. In my opinion laptop are better than phones in handling tech stuff. And he can get external hard disk if he needs more space.

You can clearly see I wasn't talking to you.

I very well understand your point. Someone like me, that has heavily being into Tech business both home and abroad for 15years, knows that majority of your stated points are false. SD Cards fragile or not durable?! Na those fake roadside own? grin Talking experiencially, I've lost more phones and harddisks to irreversible crashing than SD Cards. Oh Boy! Very rescillient Invention that should not be taken off the Plate. In fact non of my original SD Cards has ever spoiled. Also, uploading to Cloud is a good idea, which I regularly do too. But what happens when you saved all your life in Cloud and got locked out? I've lost a Some vital Accounts for forgtting Password. I believe many of us must have lost access to an email or fb we created before. I once lost a vital Account due to sudden change of IP when I travelled abroad. Also, what happens when you travel to an area without Internet or you don't have enough to buy Data but need access to you vital large files? Truth is the place of SD Card in mobile Tech can never be undermined. Samsung is wisely really cashing in on the modern monopoly. We call on Xiaomi to step in!
Life is not hard really, you can get an otg storage device if you like. Some come with sd card spots too. Or get an otg extender where you can connect ur flash to your phone. That way you can get the device u really want and with all the extra space you need. But seriously tho, why not get a slim lightweight laptop that you can carry anywhere in your backpack.
