Hey, this is my first post here. Welcome to my slow web dev journey. I will try to drop honest and random experiences along the way.

Ohhh I didn’t mention? @AltSchoolAfrica has also partnered with Tomorrow University in Germany.
AltSchool current and past students will also be able to use their diploma to continue a degree there.

I really love this. We need to come together as a country and take education to the next level. It needs to be serious.

Every day, I see evidence that my goal in life is to change people’s lives through tech. I got a message today about a gym trainer whom @SamuelOtigba specifically supported to enrol at @AltSchoolAfrica, with everything covered.
This guy borrows a phone every night to read his home study kit while preparing for his entrance exam because his phone is really old and doesn’t load the website properly. Chrome can’t work on his phone.
Today, he took his entrance exam and scored 96.

We just need someone to believe in us and give us a chance.

I rarely see 100% scores on our entrance exam. I love this. Congratulations Simbi. Welcome to AltSchool.

[Cyb3rcode @Cyb3rcode]

I would like work in collaboration with people, in an environment that constantly pushes me and leaves me no option but to show up consistently every day. If you know of any openings or have advice, I’d sincerely appreciate it.

[Cyb3rcode @Cyb3rcode]

Just saw this and had to share. I rarely see 100% scores too… until I got one myself😅.
Feeling excited to start the AI-powered Fullstack Engineering track at @AltSchoolAfrica...

[Cyb3rcode @Cyb3rcode]

Grateful for the chance and ready to put in the work. Appreciate the work you and the team are doing, @hackSultan and big congrats to @symplysimbii.

I’m based in Abuja and really looking for opportunities that are hands-on and practical...

[Cyb3rcode @Cyb3rcode]

@symplysimbii @Tunde_OD @SamuelOtigba @hackSultan Congratulations 🎊

[Simbi @symplysimbii]

I passed my AltSchool assessment to study Digital Marketing, Automation and Sales.

And honestly, I’m really excited about this one.

Thanks to the scholarship funded by @Tunde_OD, @SamuelOtigba and @hackSultan, I got the opportunity to take this course.

One random morning, I woke up, saw the scholarship flyer, applied, took the assessment… and somehow, I passed.

For the past 2–3 years, I’ve worked in different capacities within content and digital marketing. Most of what I know, though, has come from researching, experimenting and teaching myself along the way.

So I decided to take this course because I wanted to learn properly. Not just know enough to do the work, but actually understand the different parts of the field in depth.

And then came the interesting part.

The course started with the basics of Computer Science, moved into Digital Products, and then got to Sales.

That last module caught me completely off guard.

It was about the day-to-day life of a salesperson, the skills required, having a can-do attitude, being customer-centric, building relationships and, most importantly, genuinely caring about the people you’re selling to.

And I kept thinking, wait… I already do some of these things.

In my current work as a media strategist and content creator for primary and secondary schools, I’ve found myself doing more than just delivering content. I’ll point things out to school administrators or directors about their personal brands, suggest things they could improve, and generally care about the growth of my clients beyond the work I was hired to do.

So when our tutor said salesmanship isn’t just about selling a product or service, but about connecting with people and genuinely caring about solving their problems, something clicked.

For the first time in a while, I could actually see myself doing this.

Sales.

And I think I’ve finally found something I’d genuinely love to spend the next 5–10 years building a career in.

So, here we go!

I’m excited to officially start my journey at @AltSchoolAfrica, and I’m currently looking for Sales Representative / Sales Development Representative graduate trainee roles or internships, particularly in Abuja, where I can gain practical experience while taking my course.

If you come across an opportunity that you think could be a good fit, please send it my way or reach out to me.

I’d really appreciate it.

Stop Coding First: How Senior Engineers Think Before Writing Code

A senior engineer can spend 20 minutes without touching the keyboard.

A junior developer may think:

“Why is this person not coding?”

Meanwhile, the senior engineer has already:

rejected 3 bad approaches
discovered 2 failure scenarios
identified a security problem
questioned the business rules
thought about duplicate requests
considered what happens when dependencies fail

Then they start coding.

That is the difference.

Code is not where software engineering begins.

Code is where your thinking becomes executable.

And in the age of AI, this matters even more.

AI has made syntax cheap.

The engineer who wins is the one who can define the right problem, expose hidden assumptions and recognise when a generated solution is nonsense.

Before your next feature:

Understand the outcome.

Map the workflow.

Identify the data.

Define the rules.

Simulate failure.

Then code.

If you cannot explain the workflow without code, adding code will not remove the confusion.

It will only make the confusion executable.

I love simple innovations like these because they're cheap and they serve a specific purpose.
The next phase of this will be to add a camera to the lifebouy and make it hover within a specific range and automatically fly to anyone that looks like they're drawing.

NVIDIA Jetson Edge AI Chips, Google Coral, great Computer Vision system. All these can help us achieve this.

But this is so me. I can’t even lie.

The weirdest part is, if you call me, I’ll pick up. But I’m never checking your story, I’m not posting anything, and I’m definitely not doing the whole “let me make you notice me” thing. 😭

[Nathan ✰ @Just1Nathann_]

Wait till you meet the ones who turn off their read receipts and last seen.

They have no desire to be seen. You’ll never know if they’ve seen your message, and they don’t care whether you’ve seen theirs.

They’re fully committed to disappearing peacefully.
