[Robinson Honour @honour_can_code]

been seeing lots of engineering tweets about encrypting user emails before storing them

genuinely asking, whats the use case and the tradeoffs?

[◡̈⃝æ๓๓ץ~👻 @ArgentEmmy]

@honour_can_code @Akintola_steve I think you spoke about this , somedays ago. I see someone here saying it's not worth it or over-engineered.

[Akintola Steve @Akintola_steve]

45 developers signed up for the AuditGate
waitlist today alone.

African developers are ready for this.

5 spots left before the first 50 is gone.

If you build APIs in Nigeria or anywhere
in Africa, now is the time.

@bachsHQ AuditGate greets! 👋

Looking forward to a seamless experience with your platform. 🤝

[◡̈⃝æ๓๓ץ~👻 @ArgentEmmy]

@AuditGateHQ We waiting 🫡

[AuditGate @AuditGateHQ]

Yes, well said. It is true.

Africa is full of builders shipping real products.

Those products deserve security infrastructure
built for them.

Waitlist drops at 9AM today.

First 50 to register get free early access
before public launch.

Stay tuned.

[◡̈⃝æ๓๓ץ~👻 @ArgentEmmy]

@Akintola_steve @AuditGateHQ A full breakdown please

[Mayowa | Haildesk @craneoh4]

Built a tool so Windows devs can ship iOS apps without a Mac.
Works with @expo , @flutterdev and @reactnative projects.

You’re probably storing your users’ phone numbers, email addresses and home addresses in plain text.

If someone gains access to your database today, they’ll read them just as easily as you can.

The scary part?

Many developers don’t realize this can become a security issue, a compliance issue, and in some industries, a very expensive legal issue.

This thread will give you lots of insights towards what you need to know and not.

Dear Tech Bro & Sis,

Pray oooooooo

If you’re preparing for backend engineering interviews or building scalable systems, you need to understand more than just APIs and databases.

Here are 22 of the most common System Design concepts and interview questions, explained in plain English.

[Akintola Steve @Akintola_steve]

If you work in fintech and don’t understand these terms, you’re building blind.

Here’s A–Z of fintech terms that actually show up in real systems (not textbook definitions, but how they behave in production).

[Akintola Steve @Akintola_steve]

On this here are some books that will help you out, don’t joke with them.

For deep foundations: storage, replication, consistency, sharding:

📘 Designing Data-Intensive Applications by Martin Kleppmann

For interview frameworks, patterns, and step-by-step approaches:
📘 System Design Interview by Alex Xu

For distributed systems and microservices:
📘 Building Microservices by Sam Newman

For reliability, fault tolerance, and production systems:
📘 Site Reliability Engineering by Google

For clean architecture and long-term design principles:
📘 Clean Architecture by Robert C. Martin

Don’t just memorize system design answers.

Understand why systems are built the way they are.

[Akintola Steve @Akintola_steve]

Most engineers who struggle with system design interviews aren’t bad engineers.

They just started learning the wrong things, in the wrong order.

Here’s the actual roadmap, what to learn first, what comes next, and what to save for later.

[Akintola Steve @Akintola_steve]

If you're building an application, and you've never thought about what happens when the network disappears, you've built a beautiful piece of rubbish

The best apps in the world work in Lagos Island traffic, in a village in Kogi State, in a London tube with no signal

This thread explains exactly how to build an offline-first architecture that works anywhere, regardless of bandwidth

Save this and share it. Your team needs to read it.

Message Queues Explained With a Suya Spot Analogy

Imagine a suya spot at 8 pm on a Friday.

500 customers, one mallam.

Everyone shouting their order at once.

Nothing gets done right.

Orders get mixed up.

Some get forgotten.

People leave angry.

This is your backend without a message queue.

Let me explain.

@Akintola_steve Thanks for all you do boss

[Akintola Steve @Akintola_steve]

Quoting my earlier tweet:

“If you’re building a wallet system and your source of truth is a balance column,
May the database gods be with you 😂”

Let’s talk about why this is dangerous and exactly how to design the tables properly.

[Akintola Steve @Akintola_steve]

Every time you tap “Transfer” on your banking app, something wild happens in the background.

Millions of people are doing the same thing, at the same time.

Yet the money moves, balances update, and nothing breaks.

Here’s how banks actually pull this off.
