Hi, I’m Clinton, Frontend Engineer (React, Next.js & React Native).

I love building fast, clean & reliable user interfaces.
I share:
• real dev experiences & tips
• job-hunt lessons
• insights for self-taught devs

If you’re into tech or career growth, let’s connect 🚀

Life is funny sometimes 😭

I’ve been looking forward to Tech Cirvee Fest for almost 2 months.

Then a few days before the event, I fell sick and started panicking because I didn’t think I’d recover in time. I was even considering abusing energy drinks just to show up 😅

Then I checked their page today and saw the event had been postponed due to security concerns in Oyo State.

For the first time in my life, an event postponement made me happy 😂

Now I get to recover properly and attend at full strength.

Has something you thought was bad news ever worked out in your favor?

[ATAYERO CLINTON @AtayeroClinton]

Hot take:

Most React beginners don’t struggle because React is hard.

They struggle because they skip JavaScript fundamentals and try to fix everything with another library.

Agree or disagree?

@yehhmisi 😅😅😅fr I wouldn’t either
I don’t think I can also advice a newbie to go into software engineering 😒😒

[ATAYERO CLINTON @AtayeroClinton]

@peter_awotundun Oh congrats bro
It’s about to be a magical journey

[ATAYERO CLINTON @AtayeroClinton]

New month.

I’ve spent more months job hunting than I ever expected.

Some days it’s motivating.
Some days it’s exhausting.

But giving up has never really been an option.

Hoping this month brings good news for everyone still waiting for their breakthrough.

[ATAYERO CLINTON @AtayeroClinton]

2am in Lagos.

8 tabs open.
LinkedIn.
Wellfound.
Greenhouse and few others

Month 9 of searching for an international remote frontend role.

The hardest part honestly isn’t the rejection.

It’s the silence after applying.

But I’m still here:
• still building
• still learning
• still applying

If you’ve also had nights like this where you’re awake job hunting, you’re not alone mehn 😤

[ATAYERO CLINTON @AtayeroClinton]

@peter_awotundun Production is a different ball game entirely 😅

[ATAYERO CLINTON @AtayeroClinton]

@peter_awotundun Same here my chief 🫡

[ATAYERO CLINTON @AtayeroClinton]

@peter_awotundun Yea bro
Btw, my name is Clinton and I’m also a software engineer specialized in Frontend track for web and mobile applications.

[ATAYERO CLINTON @AtayeroClinton]

I think the best use of LLMs at the moment is for us as software engineers to design the system and delegate the implementation.

[Mojisola Alegbe @yehhmisi]

Going on LinkedIn lately and seeing so many people pouring their hearts out about applying to 2,000–5,000 roles with little or no progress honestly broke my heart.

People are really going through it. Since becoming aware of the job market, I genuinely don’t think I’ve ever seen this level of struggle in the industry before.

The market feels overcrowded, exhausted, and deeply uncertain right now. How do we even begin to fix this?

[ATAYERO CLINTON @AtayeroClinton]

Am I the only one who feels so disheartened with the massive layoff at Meta 😔
Tough moments

[ATAYERO CLINTON @AtayeroClinton]

@RuggedRyan_ Oh this is really a great news especially in these times when it all feels like no one is getting employed anymore or there’s a freeze on hiring.
This news gives me hope

[ATAYERO CLINTON @AtayeroClinton]

@_devHelen Hi Helen, I’m Clinton and also a software engineer.
What language do you write ?

[ATAYERO CLINTON @AtayeroClinton]

If AI builds something that confuses you, then you’re bad at prompting which implies that you don’t have a full understanding of what you wanna build. Yes or Yes?
