Monday reset.
Whatever last week looked like, grace says this week gets a clean page.
"This is the day the Lord has made; I will rejoice and be glad in it." (Psalm 118:24)
Show up, do the work, trust the process. Let's get into it.

Had a genuine conversation with someone earlier this week. I said, “I think I had traded so much time for money, and not knowledge,” and guess what? I’m still not rich yet.
I became conscious that I was doing the right thing but in the wrong manner.
The conversation highlighted how important it is to maintain balance when choosing between money and knowledge.
The whole discussion flowed from self-reflection. So many things I said I was going to do—I’m doing them, yeah, but I still feel like I’m not going all in. I’m scared of jumping into that cold river, thinking it would get warm but it only gets even colder 🥶.
I carried out some research a couple of days ago and discovered everyone desires to bet on themselves, but who’s going to pay the bills if they go all in without looking back? That’s exactly when fear and anxiety set in.
I desire so much for things to get better in 4-5 years, but it won’t happen without a bold move.
At some point we all need to decide whether to bet on what we’re actually passionate about. The chances decrease as responsibilities increase. Obligations grow with age—“Taking risks becomes more difficult when decisions impact others”—Elon Musk.
Happiness is a pursuit, and we all directly or indirectly chase it. So, keeping balance between money and knowledge ultimately leads back to being happy. It’s a win and can’t get better than that.
I’ve tried it the old way. It’s time to try the new way.
I choose happiness and I’m excited because things are about to get so much better.
Let’s see what happens when time and energy are invested in the right thing, in the right manner.
In essence, it’s time I really LockIn on what I love and find pleasing.
Support from everyone would be appreciated ❤️🫠
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 SQL injection is a cyberattack where application confuses user provided data with the executable code.
if the user provided data is malicious, the database go on executing unintended commands.
We avoid that using Parameterized query
It is true that Mastering something requires “Teaching” it, which indirectly still means building with it.
Learnt SQL last year and never build with it💀, it’s funny cos I had to pick it up again today as I needed to re-understand few concepts. -playing around with Postgres👾
