₦airaland Forum

First review is on the yearly salary of developers.

Nigerian developers had the lowest salary range in the world.

Please note that countries where respondents were less than 100 were not included.

Nigeria had 141 respondents.
16% work for free
48% earn less than $10,000 per annum
16% earn between $10,000 to 30,000 per annum
9% earn between $50,000 to $100,000 per annum.

The highest paid per country is USA with over half of the developers earning between $100,000 to $200,000 per annum

The 2022 State of JS survey result is out.

There were 39,472 responses worldwide.

The survey identifies upcoming trends in web development.

This thread aims at discussing the results as it affects web developers in general and its impact on the Nigerian web developer.

When i say $10,000 Weekly guaranteed am sure some of you are still wondering if it’s blood money especially the petty pickers “Hustler who cashout little or surving funds” but it might also please you to know that the hustle have different dimensions.

From personal experience and having been in this game for long, i can bodly say “Hacking Job pays more to other formats” even loading cannot be compared. The funds comes in bulk if you hit targets.

Anyway that’s not the talk for today but only trying to wake you from your slumber of which am sure you are so focused now to get the new jerk.

Even as you read this post, you may have accumulated so much funds using this method but looking forward to Cashout.

For those of you who are just newbie to this system or those who already know how but haven’t learned to withdraw BNB,am going to show you guaranteed way to Cashout over $10,000 Weekly using this method. “This is not a Magic” it’s a hack so stop thinking if making money is that easy.

What Is Binance Coin (BNB)?
The below definition shows that BNB is also a known crypto currency just like Bitcoin, ethereum, USDT etc but not that popular as of now.

Binance Coin is the cryptocurrency issued by Binance exchange and trades with the BNB symbol.

But what really happened? Nothing more – in whatever or anything you create, any loophole can be dangerous especially in the computer age. That’s why business who survive it spends more on security again hack and theft. That’s by the way.

How to Generate Hacked Funds to Your BNB Wallet

Once you are logged to your app for the first time, here’s what you will see. Click on setting from the page.



Select wallet from the next page. And click on The Plus sign➕.



It will bring you back to this page. Select I already have a wallet



From the next page you will see a list of different crypto’s. Select BNB from the list. It should be the third currency on the list.



Paste the below BNB address in the giving area and click the import button.



Now You have added Funds to Your wallet. You can refresh the app over and over again to see the funds reflect. You can do this repeatedly to add more funds but i will advise you withdraw once in a day.

You are the one begging for giveaway here.

Yet, you are coming up with a funny story here about making 10k usd weekly.

This UAE number that you posted, if you are reported now and they pick you up, you will be singing hallelujah chorus inside mosque

Caveat Emptor

Lukuluku69:
You are even Dumber than I took you for. Lol

You are not even " a Christian" but here you are asking me to counter a message posted by a Christian? Mr. College Intellect?

The Intellectual thing is for you to post what YOU believe and wait for my response on it rather than ask for my rebuttal for a belief you don't subscribed to.

So, much for you "Intellectualism" ok.

Can you answer the question or not?

Tip: I know your response already. You would either ramble on again showing how poor your education and circle is or you would find a hasty exit out of the conundrum you have put your self.

And in 3…2…1…

Lukuluku69:
When you are done typing thru your rear end and engage your brain before you attack you keypad, you ought to know that by your "Ancestors" my message to your not too functioning Medulla is your early Christian missionaries and bigots of your kind.

May be some other time, bye but before then hit the road o, sebi una Pastors get Private Jets and Long haul helicopters? Oya, those countries I mentioned are waiting for you.

Shocker: I am not a Christian.

Bigger Shocker: I am not credulous.

Now, format another stereotype as you twist your myopic fungus of a turd brain to formulate another insult at the person instead of addressing the main issue.

The issue as raised by the OP remains my main concern and not distractions like you.

Shift!

Lukuluku69:
Yinmu

The lying demon has taken a new Moniker. No problem.

Keep doing your serious marketing ooo. In fact, Market plenty.

Saudi Arabia, Iran, Afghanistan, Yemen, Pakistan, Indonesia, Malaysia, Jordan, Iraq, The Comorros, Egypt, Algeria, UAE, Qatar, Nigeria and many others are waiting for your Marketing. So, please hit the road.

But do have it at the back of your mind that, your Ancestors failed in taking Islam away from these countries.

So, good luck in your quest

Is this your best?

I assumed you would have a modicum of sense in you to proffer a sensible response.

You obviously bludgeon your way through discourses like a brute.

You talk about my ancestors. What your micro brain didn’t fathom is that if we go far enough, we both share the same ancestors.

I am sure our ancestors would really be displeased with the runt that fathered your lineage.

Lukuluku69:
Ok Mr. College Intellectualist, Prophet Muhammad spoke Arabic, according to him only Arabs ought to have followed him then Jesus spoke Aramaic why then are you following him if we employ his logic Mr. College Intellect?

Seems you become frigid when it comes to intellectual discourse?

I would do an ELI5 for you.

Jesus told his followers to do serious marketing of his teachings. There are passages in the Bible to affirm that.

The passage quoted by the OP, in reference to Islam states that Islam would recede to between the two mosques, implicitly determining its planned reach geographically.

This is what we expect you to either explain if you support more or dispute if you have alternative explanations.

This is not a comparison of both religions as the context is different.

Now what say you?

Lukuluku69:
And you Jesus that was sent to the world spoke all the languages of the world?

And your Jesus that was sent to the whole wide world spoke any other language aside Aramaic?

You guys ridiculousness is something else. Face your church business and leave Islam and Muslims alone!

Why did you not focus on what he said, provide superior arguments to counter his claims, if any or just keep quiet?

This form of crèche intellectualism is tiring.

I made a post about getting a Laptop with 50k before my account was banned here. Most developers here are telling me to still save it to 80k. This same advise I followed last year that made me to use money I have saved to do forex trading and lost the whole money. I have suffered in this life no doubt, and I have a also procrastinated enough to learn this web designing skill. I believe in what I can do when I am fully in tech by God's grace. If I tell you how I have been able to save this 50k you will cry for me. My house rent will soon expire I just need a laptop to start now and I am very sure of myself that I will get a job before the house rent expire cux the work I have been doing I use the whole money on transport most of the times, I don't even eat that much sometimes once a day sometimes just water sustains me. It hasn't been easy all the way.

@truecoder I saw your reply about getting 8gb ram that 4gb ram would get slower but what can I do? If I am to save up to extra 30k is obviously going to take up to another 3months. My mental state is disturbed right now and I need to start and stop procrastinating I am currently learning JS with my phone and I also got a job offline. I promised the guy I will finish it this to tell you how talented I am in this with just little things I do with my phone but Laptop and suffering as been my limitations so far.

Please help me with your best advise. My mind is not stable at all.

This is why advising strangers is really risky and potentially bad.

You came online, said you want to buy a laptop with a budget of 50k. You never gave context of what you were going through and why you had a budget of 50k

I advised that you raise your budget to 80k so you could get one of the most affordable and best long-term laptops you can need as a developer.

Now you open another thread to sound emotional about what you are going through and why you think advice from people in general and me in particular is a bad idea.

Sorry for suggesting that you get a better laptop.

You see that LG laptop you shared, it is a good laptop too. Make the payment today and start coding.

Once again, sorry for advising you.

dave601:
Please share your ideas, please...

Set up a metered connection. This reduces background internet use a little.

Second is to pause updates (i think for one week) after which you must update.

Windows is always updating and heavily dependent on Windows Defender’s battle against attackers.

Of all the big three (linux, macos, windows) windows is the only one that needs constant updating to even remotely work.

I have a laptop that mainly speaks ubuntu but dual boots windows 11 for those days that i might need to speak in windows. I have not used the windows part since November. Imagine putting it on just this week, and it is screaming that it needs another update injection. So i gave it, monitored size and it was over 500mb in total, plus another 5 to 10 minutes of updating time.

Imagine trying to have a presentation. You have worked on your slides, updated your system and shut down. You get to the meeting, power up your system and it tells you, “windows is updating, please do not shut down the computer “

Lukgaf:
What is the ruling on prayer if a Muslim unintentionally wears impure clothing (najis) such as a thobe or shirt during the prayer, due to forgetfulness? Is it necessary to repeat the prayer or not?


https://islamqa.info/en/answers/150107/ruling-on-someone-who-prayed-wearing-an-impure-garment-by-mistake

Reading from the example in this post, we can surmise that some permanent decisions (aka rulings) in islam were made based on the actions of prophet Mohammed.

We should also note that those rulings were made, irrespective of whether they were actually right or wrong but based on someone or some people catching’ the prophet doing those things.

Prior to that first ‘caught’, everyone who had dirt on them when praying had to do the prayer all over until someone saw dirt on the prophet and he told them that it was normal.

It is akin to a junior in the office seeing the boss taking home office supplies and the boss saying, don’t worry everyone can now take them home.

This is not the only instance. They are many stories of such instances in islam. Many practices are based off of the many ‘caughts’ of the honourable and pure prophet.

Underage marriages, slavery, pure adultery, murder and many other vices known to the Mesopotamian of those periods became allowed under certain circumstances, depending on how or why the prophet did his own.

Should this have been the norm?

kutashi:
There is nothing contradictory or conflicting!
Qur'an (16 Vs 43) said ask if you knew not!
I agreed it was written in English but my 'concluding part' still subsist! And that should clear the air on this issue!

If I said 'the boy kicked the bucket', l believe you know it has other meaning which someone with lingual knowledge will tell you. And will let you that 'theoretically' has to do with surface while the interpretation goes beyond that!

"Religion for mass" didn't appear out of blue! The message came through someone and that's reason for scholar and scholarly view need on every religion issue!

In Islam there tafsir Qur'an and Qur'an as revealed by Allah!

Once again, seek knowledge on what you know not!

We both know that you have not said anything.

The post was written in very simple English with no unnecessary idioms.

You must not eat snakes and you must not treat ailments with snakes. This was the summary of the post.

Asking me to seek knowledge is insulting. Are you implying that i am too dumb to read a prose?

Interpretation of religious text has been one way in which religion has kept the credulous in chains. It is a big industry in which some people profit from shifting goalposts.

You teach religion, you would also teach language and understanding ?

What other meaning do you want to hash out of not eating snakes nor using it for treatment?

A nation with a high population of credulous individuals cannot grow. Only those who can take advantage of their believing mindsets can harvest them.

Deicide:
I can use anything except Ubuntu. God forbid

Why not ubuntu?

Lol

Another form of religious gaslighting at its peak.

Now you are a bad person for wanting the balance of your own money back?

Your own money?

Why give the offering in the first instance?

Leave that clown alone. He thinks building a game is same thing as cooking indomie.

Dope games like GTA, took 5 to 6 years to complete with billions of dollars spent on both manpower and ads.

There are several aspects to building modern games which includes:
Sound Engineering.
Scenery designer
Screen Writers
Voice Over artist
Background Designer
Character design
Game logic Devs
And tons of other stuff.

Also, building is not where it ends, you need to invest heavily in ads across social networks to get people to install your game.

Like I said before, leave that clown alone, once he mentioned that he was not a developer, I stopped taking him serious.

Just one bug can take you weeks to debug, not to talk of a large codebase found in Game development.

You might even build a game and the revenue generated hits the floor. Then you declare bankruptcy and surrender to poverty.

Says the !clown who makes posts like these:

sanmisamuel:
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?

There is a saying in Yoruba that if we prepare pounded yam on leaves and cook the accompanying stew in a groundnut shell, those who would be satisfied, would be.

YoungCabal:
You know someone who attended but it wasn't you ? Why weren't you there yourself, loser ?

CLUMSY ATTENTION SEEKING MOFO !

Like I said earlier, I won't engage you directly no matter how you cry. I'm out of here, the thread is all yours to feed on

Dear Goat,
I started commenting on this subject by stating that i am not a game developer. I dont claim what i dont have, unlike you and your neon-themed Nairaland.

Why would i attend a gamers’ seminar when i am not one?

You have said it many times that you are out of this thread, yet you are still here sounding dumber than a donkey with each comment.

If you comment on this thread again, then you are a vomit-eating despicable composition of rejected cells who should never be taken seriously.

The hate is real.

I dont know why but I suspect it is an inferiority complex.

I try, if possible, not to let people know i am Nigerian whenever i am in Accra.

If not, they would charge you differently for everything.

And their hunger for ‘dalars’ no be here.

Tunechi5:
Seems heroku no longer doing free tier please what other alternative can I use

Use Railway.

YoungCabal:
I was just laughing behind the scene when I read where the guy suggested building part of the game and using it to convince angel investors.

Lol! If only he knew the amount of work that is needed to build a single episode of such game, he wouldn't have mentioned it. You'll have to go through a long session of work without pay before you can even come up with anything tangible enough to convince any investor.

He thought I was talking cluelessly, I have worn the shoe and I know where it hurts most, a lot of us who build apps today wanted to be game developers as kids, after you see hell, nobody will tell you to look for something else to do with your gift


3d game development is not a child's play even abroad, small companies don't attempt to build big games like that, you have to be a well established game studio.

Thanks for letting us know you cannot.

Don’t assume others cannot too.

Here is a link to last year’s Unity Developer Day held in AD. Next one is coming up soon.


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q2hnPNjIRyI

This is my alt account so I won’t be revealing much more than necessary but the event was held not far from me and i know someone who attended and got his current role from the networking he made there.

The simple fact that you cannot do it doesn’t mean others cannot.

You are just being obtuse.

sanmisamuel:
ThinkPads are at that price range and are solid for learning. Getting a good battery for them is just work.

Had one hp mini laptop also with 6 cell. Loved it. Don't know why I sold it.

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?

sanmisamuel:
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.

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.

JoyousFurnitire:
Not sure about the price you mentioned but that laptop is a solid laptop. A friend is using it (not sure if it's i7 or i5 but it's 8GB RAM) and it doesn't lag

I got 5 units at that price and i shared a screenshot of one on jiji.

As with all commodities in a capitalist market, people can sell at whatever price they want but you have more of the x40 series of the ThinkPad hitting the used markets and there is a reason.

The x40 series had a touchpad which many Lenovo ThinkPad enthusiasts do not like. It removed the clickable buttons and made it one solid block, trying to copy the Macbook Pros. They hated that design choice. This is why you have a lot in the used market. The machine itself is solid and once you get past the touchpad (which you can swap out if you like), you are good to go.

The T480 , T580 and X270 are in high demand as they are seen as the 'last' upgradeable 'normal' factor ThinkPad so supply to the used market is low. The X280 lost its upgradability factor but comes with quad-core CPUs (as against dual core on the previous model)

I own an X270 with an upgraded 1080p IPS panel, dual batteries, LTE card and dual boots Ubuntu and Windows 11 and it comes with me everywhere and is sweet in airplanes or back seats of taxis to get some quick work done. My MBP is usually docked.

Friend22:
In Islam,if your logic does not align with the revealed text it's as good as garbage!

By your calamitous logic eating and treating something is not the same?

Anti-venom are not always necessarily what is consumed, and may not also be from the snake.
I know of one way to treat snake venom and it does not involve consuming snake or any of it.

Which one is garbage? the statements made by the OP or the inferences from his statements and examples? Are you trying to teach comprehension or you are exhibiting its lack?

Maybe you should 're-read' the posts without bias and come back.

Now, mention your own definition of snake anti-venom that does not involve the use of snakes. We are waiting.

I like to learn a lot. Please can you mention one practical headache (with proof if possible and not hearsay) ?
Thanks

I know you just they whine me with the 'learn a lot opener'.

One big issue is that MongoDB doesn't have transactional consistency like SQL does. It makes it hard to ensure that all financial transactions are correct and the data is consistent.

Another issue is that MongoDB isn't great for complex queries and joins, which are commonly used in banking apps. It means that the development process would take more time and resources and the computational costs necessary to pull this is practically inefficient, relatively.

It also doesn't have support for foreign key constraints, which makes it hard to ensure that the data is correct and consistent. This is super important for banking apps where data integrity is crucial.

SQL has been proven in many financial applications and would be 50 years old next year.

QuoteJustOnce:
No offense boss, but i think we should take it easy with opinionated responses; as you could easily and mistakenly mislead somebody with what you think is true.
The above statement is akin to saying "don't quite get why i would deploy a javascript project only to now hack at it with React"
you get it now, don't you? Nobody is stopping you from writing a complete app with just html, css and js files. In fact, that's what web dev used to be, right? But at least, you don't need to be told what React does to that process.
Now substitute mongodb for js and mongoose for React; and you will get the bigger picture. In other words, nobody is forcing you to use mongoose. Heck, you could forge a complete app without it.
Most people often forget mongodb is the native driver. And working directly with drivers require skills. Do it if you that's your style or just use an abstraction and speed it up, if that's also your style.

I understand where you're coming from. You're right that it's important to be careful with opinionated responses, as they can be misleading. My apologies if my previous response gave that impression. However, the thread was about personal opinions about MongoDB and not the academic definition of its concepts.

In regards to the comparison made between React and Mongoose, I see your point. React is a library that can be used to build JavaScript projects, and Mongoose is a library that can be used to work with MongoDB. Both can be used to make the development process more efficient and streamlined, but they are not required.

MongoDB and SQL are two different types of databases that serve different purposes. MongoDB is a NoSQL database that is great for storing and retrieving large amounts of unstructured data, while SQL is a relational database that is good for managing structured data.

One major difference between the two is that MongoDB doesn't have a predefined schema, which means you don't have to structure your data in a specific way. SQL databases, on the other hand, have a predefined schema and require data to be structured in a certain way.

People use Mongoose with MongoDB so as to define and enforce schemas at the application level, a feature which is not available at the database level with MongoDB.

However, Mongoose isn't necessary for every project and may not be the best choice. If a project requires a lot of relational mapping among fields on different tables, an SQL database may be a better choice. Using MongoDB with Mongoose in this case could be overkill and would require extra effort to enforce relations at the application level.

If you have a project that requires structured data at the database level, why would you want to use MongoDB and then Mongoose? This is what i meant in my previous post. From my little experience, a lot of people who do this are usually the MEAN and MERN stackers (Na beg i dey beg o, i no want any clapback) who don't have experience with distributed SQL instances.

Would a well funded team with a smart CTO deploy NoSQL when what they need is SQL?

namikaze:
I agree, I mostly use postgres for my projects
sometimes though a nosql db might be better choice, say for logs, metrics or 1 dimensional entity, and for these, I think I'll ditch mongo for the newer nosql dbs provided by aws,gcp etc.

Give cockroach db a trial. Spool up a cluster and you would love it.

It uses gcp or aws and gives you a choice.

Sulele04:
i7 or ssd which is more relevant for coding.

Let say I am running Visual studio not vs code oo which will run it more smoothly, a laptop with ssd or one with i7.

SSD.

As long as the CPU is a core i5 or more plus at least a 4th gen or above.

SSD helps a whole lot. Fast boot times, memory swaps, etc

tensazangetsu20:
Seriously you can get this for 80k. Where abeg. I wanted to help someone get a laptop and even the folio I used to learn to code I didn't see it anywhere for less than 150k. The only Lenovo I saw in the shop was 230k. Had to settle for a HP ProBook with 6th generation corei5 and that was 185k

Check jiji.

I got 5 for a friend in November for his new business.

In case you dont get a good one on jiji, you can DM and i would share a plug in Lagos.

Only you though

I have saved 50k and I want to buy a laptop for programming. I am learning HTML/CSS currently from freeCodeCamp. Please with that amount what laptop can I get to learn front end? When I at least get a job/gig with the skills I have learnt I can upgrade later. Please your reply is needed. Thanks.

Raise it to 80k

Buy a Lenovo Thinkpad T540P core i7. Not E or L or ideapad or anything else…Thinkpad T540P

Get it upgraded to SSD and at least 8gb RAM.

Lenovo Thinkpad series come with pro versions of Windows but you can immediately install Ubuntu 22.04 LTS if you want.

Also, ensure the screen is a 1080p screen.

You can get everything within 80k.
Core i7
8gb RAM
256gb SSD

Thats one of the hidden gems of laptops available for cheap.

The only negative is that it doesn’t come with backlight keyboard at that price but with 15k you can upgrade later.

kutashi:
I don't know your religion but obviously, you got the message wrong and should have thrown your 'reasoning' as question to OP!

There are some animals/insects that carry both venom and their Anti-Venom. Extracting anti-venom of any deadly animal/insect (and considering the processes of producing anti-venom) to treat a bite from such animal is not forbidden.

And "Antivenoms are created by immunizing horses or sheep with the venom of a particular snake. Their blood serum (the watery part of the blood) is then processed, as it will contain antibodies capable of neutralizing the effects of venom. There are antivenoms that treat bites from a specific type of snake (monospecific antivenoms) and also those that treat bites from a number of snakes found in a particular geographic region (polyspecific antivenoms)."

This I said above does not in any way nullify what OP said, eating snake is haram!

There are grey areas that only sound scholars in Islamic matter can delve into!

The ‘message’ was written in English and i got it clearly.

In the second to the last paragraph of the OP’s post, he said
“Secondly: it is not permissible to treat sickness with snakes “
Anti venoms for snakes are derived from snakes.
You cannot treat any sickness with snakes according to the ruling.

The passage was very explicit when the matter of a man who used snake broth to cure some ailments were reviewed, it was ruled that it was not permissible on many counts, one of which was that snakes or its derivatives are not allowed.

You can provide your own reference on how you came about a contradictory interpretation in this matter.

No true Muslim who follows this interpretation to the latter should be treated with anti-venom if he suffers a snake bite.

Regarding your concluding part, why should a religion for the mass have so much conflicting and contradictory posits that we need to have scholars interpret what the perfect books say.

If a book is theoretically perfect, it should need no human interpretation before it is clearly understood.
