FanOfMyself:
So you have been coding for 10+ what's your stack if you don't mind.

Actually more than 10 years if you include the jobs I did before my first degree. I've worked in about 4 different organizations post grad and used different tools/languages in these organizations. Here is a rundown (OP, excuse us to use your thread, please):

I joined the corporate world when desktop applications were still trendy, so had to use Visual Basic (and later VB.Net). I was still in the same organization when the wave of web apps struck. We quickly adopted PHP/MySQL and HTML/CSS as our major working tools (though I've always been more of a backend person). There was nothing like Laravel, React, Angular, etc. then, so we were using the traditional "form action". Laravel came out in 2011 (not sure) but I only got to use it in production a couple of years later. Then I changed jobs and started working in an organization where Python was the standard. We used Django and React for virtually everything. I loved Python and started exploring the Anaconda framework (even though it had nothing to do with my job then). The whole experience helped me get my third job in a mining firm where Python was used to write instructions for AMR's. I only spent a few months there before going back to school for my masters.

Most of the stuff I did during my MSc. program were either in C# or Python and that brought me back to .Net. I was excited to see how Microsoft had succeeded in making C# the new Java and a strong contender in enterprise applications development. With my new knowledge, pre-existing industry experience and quality professional network (thanks to my school), I knew I had to go into a more specialized form of programming. So I moved into Cloud Computing and business solutions (ERP's and e-commerce/retail/POS). This made me to use special purpose languages like C/AL, X++ and, of course, C# and Typescript. I'm still in the same organization post masters, but I presently work as a consultant/solution architect. ERP's normally have different endpoints developed using different technologies, so I sort of use all my accumulate knowledge here with a lot of theories from school.

Romance › Re: Help !!! I'm Not Romantic by WoundedLamb: 8:52pm On Oct 16, 2021

"I am a programmer, I build games, I am a nerd..."

Lol... Here is what I think: I believe those are feel-good statements nerds hardly make and the laughing emoji only goes to show you really just want to feel good about yourself. Yes, programmers could be very nerdy sometimes (just like some lawyers, doctors, etc.) but such people don't miss the social life cause it's thier personality and they certainly don't go around telling people how they're unromantic nerds with a broad smile. You're probably not just 'unromantic' but also not fun. And it's not about being a programmer, I've been programming for more than a decade postgrad myself. It's simply because you've subscribed to the idea that programmers should be a certain way and you clearly want to have that aura. It's as though you couldn't wait to finally be able to complain about how your career makes you different from others.

This might not very evident even to you but I believe you're conditioned by your innermost desires, the uniqueness you admire in others which you'd eagerly accept as your reality. It's like some people always complaining how they are busy not because they really can't afford to spare some time for certain things but mostly because they just like to be in the league of those saying they have no time or a professor growing his beards cause "that's how a professor should be". It's all in phases, some more years in the industry and you'd realize your job isn't really much different from that of any other career driven professional out there, and then you'd start living your life with less desire to conform.

Just a thought.

Politics › Re: Explosion Rocks Calabar, Army Claims Responsibility by WoundedLamb: 8:04pm On Oct 15, 2021

I don't understand. This is either an over exaggerated report or everyone has gone mad. The report says the explosion shattered windows and pulled down buildings and the Nigerian army said it's a routine exercise and that no one should panic? I don't believe any human being is dumb enough to call bombing buildings a routine exercise. The reporter must have taken the hyperbole to another level.

Lol... You guys are conditioning your females. You're making them defensive. You're creating a you-vs-us environment. As if tribalism, regionalism, religious bigotry, etc. aren't enough, you're aiming for sexism. It's as if as there's a burning desire in every Nigerian to focus on differences. Let's just hope you like the final product of that process.

I agree with you. But the lady you quoted probably said what you said as a sarcastic response to the way Nairaland guys always attack the entire female gender anytime one is a culprit but face other factors like parenting, ethnicity, etc. when the culprit is a guy.

Génial...
C'est bon.... Je suis étudiant de français a l'université T'ai solarin... Je viens d'un nouve étudiant...

Enchanté de vous rencontrer.... Je ve suivre votre compte.

Nice. Your French is great for a new student!! If you don't mind, please, let me make a few corrections. We say:

"Je suis étudiante en français à l'université de T'ai Solarin. Je suis juste un nouvel étudiant."

NB1: We use "en" when talking about the course of study. You can say "je suis un étudiant de T'ai Solarin..." cause you're allowed to use "de" when talking about the school (which made me use the indefinit article "un").

NB2: The construct "venir de" can only be followed by an infinitive verb as in "je vien d'arriver" but never by a noun or noun phrase. If the next word is a noun or a noun phrase, just use "juste".

NB3: The word "nouveau" becomes "nouvel" when followed by a masculine word that starts with a vowel sound.

I'm NOT a French teacher, so forgive me if I ended up confusing you. Lol.

Vous pouvez suivre mon compte mais attention, mes opinions sont inhabituelles; vous n'aimez peut-être pas toujours ce que vous lisez.

Je suis aussi ravi de vous rencontrer !

Romance › Re: How Do You Control Your Anger? by WoundedLamb: 2:00am On Oct 10, 2021

Kobojunkie:
I wouldn't create a thread on nairaland if I knew I had anger issues. Instead, I would be out there talking to the right professionals or doing actual research to find real solutions that I could implement and get working asap in my situation. So, no, it's not obvious at all that the OP realizes he has serious anger issues.

I am really concerned that this man has a girlfriend that is a potential victim of abuse and a 3-year old who has already been traumatized by his lack of control.

Yeah... but then we see people come here all the time to showcase thier skin disease and seek advice on how to cure them. They obviously know they have medical issues and that they need to a doctor, but they still come here nevertheless. Take OP as one of those. He created this thread to know how people have successfully handled thier anger issues in the past and that means he knows he's got the same problem himself. And he'd probably resort to seeing a shrimp if people who have had to deal with the plight tell him that's what they did. I mean, I'm not surprised someone would come to the internet first for a behavioral problem seeing how shrimps aren't popular in Nigeria.

And yes, I fear for the girlfriend too.

Tbvxl:
Lol! Just last week I fought with a friend all because of my anger issues.
I think I just need help

The question is, what gets you so upset? Yes, you might have anger issues but the real problem is the trigger. Knowing the kind of things that discompose you would be the first step towards addressing the issue. If you get mad when things aren't done your way, then you need to work on your desire to always be in control. This is just an example. My point is, intense anger is a response you give when your brain can't come up others ways of addressing certain triggers. If you know those triggers and teach your brain how to address them, you'll see a difference.

Kobojunkie:
You even assaulted a 3-year old and it doesn't occur to you still that you may have anger issues?

You are probably right. But I think he knows this already. I mean, that's obviously why he created this thread. I just wonder why the anger issues only come up when he's dealing with those he's physically stronger than or those who can't do anything in retaliation. It would have been more apparent if it also leads to hit his boss at work or a military man in the street. For me, he's just a control freak. He believes certain people must follow his command, and when they don't, he gets mad. I'm not saying this to upset or attack him. I just think knowing the real issue is a perquisite to finding a solution.

Travel › Re: Travelling Into Nigerian (MMIA) Is Uber Safe To Your Destination Within Lagos ? by WoundedLamb: 10:23pm On Oct 09, 2021

uncleck:
If you're not a politician or a celebrity, just calm down and stop being paranoid. Nobody knows you. VIPs use Uber in Nigeria and nobody reason them. But in case you're still scared, just take an Uber to a hotel not too far from the airport. Sit at the bar or reception and book another one to another hotel in another location. You're good to go. Make sure you don't speak Queen's English.

CaptainFM1:
The Queen's English got me laughing but that the truth. It's the first mistake that most travellers do.

In Addition, he should not flash/show off unnecessary. It's also always good to request the windows to be wound down. That's the first thing I always do when taking Uber/bolt.
I just say it casually...."Abeg, help me wind down the glass" and add....AC makes me to sneeze or I like fresh air"

I see. But what if one can't speak like a Nigerian?

Security aside, I learned the hard way that foreign accents aren't generally welcome in Nigeria.

Maybe it's cause of the the homogeneous nature of the country. In many other cities like London, Toronto, New York, Dubai, etc., people speak with different accents, and no one really cares. In Nigeria, you've got to speak like everyone else or you'd be treated differently. That's frustrating cause you'd end up speaking in an awkward way just to hide your accent.
