gloryhomemaker: Haha. Thanks for sharing the recipe. I have a few things to improve on the next time I make it. I should have cooked the yam a bit longer so that it absorbed more water and the final meal doesn't end up too dry. The quantity of the yam I cooked may also have been too much compared to the sauce. I only paid attention to the quantity in your video after I was done and noticed the 'dryness'. The usual yam porridge I make just requires adding some ingredients to boiling yam, and I use a lot of water for it so there's plenty of sauce and the yam turns out somewhat creamy. To achieve that result here, I probably need to cook the yam long enough to absorb plenty of water as well as use a lot of sauce, yes? 2 Likes |

gloryhomemaker: I just tried this recipe and it turned out sooo good. I haven't enjoyed a meal so much in a while. (I bookmarked this thread about three months ago or so, but only got around to trying out the recipe today because my siblings came around and I wanted to prepare it for them.) 2 Likes |

MisterKennedy: To each his own, I guess. I had a roommate that felt this way about being out and about (not a remote worker, though). However, I'm usually pretty comfortable being indoors for long periods. Have you considered using a paid workspace (some tech innovation hubs offer this)? Or even just getting an office space somewhere far from your house? 1 Like |

Business / Professional Cleaning Services In Benin City? by Wryhder: 4:45pm On Jan 28, 2021 |
Please recommend some professional home/office cleaning services in Benin City. Although I've attempted a google search, the results were not very promising. (I've been going through the services listed on this page: https://www.finelib.com/cities/benin-city/business/cleaning-services. However, some phone numbers listed are unavailable. Some calls weren't picked up.) |

Programming / Re: How To Pick A Language For That Next Project by Wryhder: 7:06pm On Apr 06, 2018 |
In my case, I only know a handful of languages and I'm working my way up to a major project. I get your point about picking the right stack, but there are programmers who swear by one language and consider themselves programmers in just that language. I don't see any reason to constrain myself to any one language or stack because I believe one gets to pick up new ways of thinking that way, but I also don't see any reason to nitpick people's decisions. However, I am not yet a 'professional' software dev and only have little experience managing a project; other than time, what other reasons should prompt a person to consider a different stack? I can understand time limitations if I have to deliver a product to a client, but if I didn't have to consider time? |

TheSuperNerd:I read about this recently on Quora. It's disgusting. You're right that this is a real problem. I even realized I was guilty of this behavior of not taking male sexual harassment as seriously as female harassment. I have brothers however, so I agree that this is something that has to change. I cringe when I remember laughing once when I read that a man had to be hospitalized after he was raped. I would have been mad enough to kill the culprit myself had it been a female. 1 Like |

Programming / Re: I Want To Learn Programming. Which Language Should I Start With? by Wryhder: 12:32pm On Dec 03, 2017 |
peacesamuel94:(typing this on my nokia c2, so formatting will be crap) Yes, you can learn with a smartphone if you've got the right applications. There are free text editors/IDEs/Interpreters on Play Store. I can suggest QPython (for Python), ScriptIt (for Javascript), QuickEdit (my favourite Android text editor). There are others. Download, test, stick with what works for you. Some apps have a learning curve, like Terminal IDE. Read the app description thoroughly before downloading.. I can suggest tutorials also, but I figure there must already be loads of recommendations in the thread. So I'll just add devdocs.io. It's a site that has collected documentation for several programming languages and technologies in one place. You can select what to save offline (it's cached), then add a shortcut to your homescreen. 3 Likes 1 Share |

Career / Want To Be A Kick-ass Entrepreneur? You Must First Become An Employee by Wryhder: 8:50pm On Aug 20, 2017 |
Early this year, I had a conversation with a colleague, and we both agreed that the ultimate goal of most millennials was to be their own boss. According to a survey that was conducted by America’s Small Business Development Centres, over 61% of millennials believe the best job security comes from owning your own business. In my opinion, this is a welcome development. More entrepreneurs mean more job creation which in turn leads to an even distribution of wealth, hence reducing the household to poverty ratio. Having said that, it must be stated that not everybody can become a successful entrepreneur without undergoing some level of training whether as an employee or receiving formal (or semi-formal) education. It is quite impossible for you to suddenly acquire the skill set required to become a successful entrepreneur without learning from someone. Presently, there is an ongoing, albeit subtle, disparagement of people working as employees. The condescension is astonishing, you wouldn’t believe it. Employees are now seen as sell-outs; people with little or no ambition. In their haste to put down employees, most people forget that the most successful entrepreneurs in the world were once employees. And the reason for their success can be partly attributed to the skills they acquired while working under someone. I came across this quote by President Donald Trump which I think is very apt for this post, “Watch, listen, and learn. You can’t know it all yourself. Anyone who thinks they do is destined for mediocrity”. In the same vein, you can only be a great leader by being a follower. Working as an employee can provide you with tools that you need to start-up your own company. Network Business contacts and networks don’t magically land in your laps. You have to make a conscious effort to put yourself out there. By working as an employee, you are able to access the pool of professionals and resources you will need in the future. Never underestimate the power that comes from knowing people and having connections that will act as your referral sources when you do start your business. Experience This cannot be over-emphasized. One of the key reasons why most start-ups fail is because the entrepreneurs didn’t have the necessary experience or knowledge about the sector. A friend who wanted to start a clothing line had no idea what such venture would entail. Her solution was employing someone who had experience. The danger with this is that you are essentially running a business where you know nothing, thus leaving yourself open to failure. Confidence and clear communicator When you learn a skill and have mastered it (by doing it over and over again as an employee), there is a confidence that comes with the knowledge that you are a pro in that particular area. For instance, working as a sales personnel in a manufacturing company. As a sales personnel, you had to learn how to sell a product. By doing this over a period of time, you become very good at it. When you eventually start your own product line, you are already a master of sales and this brings a certain level of confidence. As an employee, you had to learn the art of good communication, what good communication looks and sounds like. Being able to communicate effectively makes a major difference, and this is a skill you will need when you start employing people. Learning the art of budgeting Truthfully, you don’t need to be an employee to learn how to budget your expenses. However, as an employee, you may have noticed that in order for a company to run effectively, funds have to be allocated for various activities. You learn how to achieve more with less, and how to organise and think creatively. This is important because not all startups have huge capital to invest. You will need to do the important stuff with the little you have. Avoid mistakes There is nothing as beautiful as learning from the mistakes of others, especially for entrepreneurs. So, as an employee, you would have noticed the flaws and the loopholes in the business. This will serve as a guide such that when you start your own company, these flaws and loopholes will be avoided. So, these are the reasons why I believe that one of the best things an aspiring entrepreneur should do before starting up his/her company is to first work for other people.

This place is way too quiet. Please folks, if you have your interview scheduled for tomorrow, keep us posted as to how it goes. And did you all complete the technical challenge before the deadline? Did you find the questions easy? Hard? According to the mail (2.0), first part of the interview will be code defence. It'll be good to ensure you understand how you came to a solution. Don't forget to prepare for the second part. There's a link in the first invitation message to a pre-interview assessment to help you prepare. Have some idea of how you'll answer the kind of questions you might be asked. 3 Likes |

This first mail usually includes links to the study materials upon which the test will be based and a personality assessment (it took a week to get mine plus the link to do my personality assessment came in a different e-mail). Check your mail often, as that's the only way you can follow up whatever stage you are in the process. http://github.andela.com/homestudy/ will take you to the online version of the study materials. You should begin studying them as soon as possible. |
