Being a "backend engineer" is not a skill.
It's a department.
Moniepoint posted roles, struggled to find qualified Nigerians, and Nigerians on the internet showed their displeasure.
But still, nobody touched the actual problem.
This thread will make some of you uncomfortable.
That's fine.
It's only a problem for people who don't read with an open mind.
Two ways to handle a blocking component in Next.js:
• Cache: so it can be prerendered with the rest of the page.
• Stream: so the rest of the page doesn't have to wait for it.

If you’re a young person in Africa and you want to get out of the trenches
Focus on these three skills
1. AI Automations
2. How to get leads/attention etc
3. How to sell.
Then craft an offer to the older demographic in the U.S.
E.g. Offer to use AI to fix a part of their business.
Look…they’re old…not as savvy. AI is disrupting most of their industries and they’re scared to their pants.
I know because I sell to them all the time.
You could charge $1.5k - $2.5k setup and $500/mo recurring.
5 clients puts you at $7.5k and $2500/mo MRR
That’s GOOD money in Nigeria.
Or if these skills are too much to learn.
Focus on one and find other experts good at the other two.
I have a community of killer sales talent.
I didn’t say it would be easy.
But is it harder than being in the trenches? Living life the way you have it?
Always checking the price of everything?
Everyone around you thinking you’re a worthless god forsaken loser?
Your siblings not respecting you?
Your friends avoiding your calls?
Is it really harder than the way life is for you?
So why not stop thinking “oh this is hard” and realize…Your life is already hard
Nigeria is hard. Making money is hard.
And so what?
So go learn those three skills. Use YouTube. Pay for courses. Save. Borrow. I don’t care.
Do what you have to.
1 Year from now you’d thank me for being direct with you.
Or you’d still be here doomscrolling.
Choice is yours
A study shows that copywriters who drink a bit of alcohol before writing copy tend to craft excellent, high converting copy 🙂
One more thing.
Before you take that in...
There is no such study.
The idea here is that people believe stuff that looks like authority - E.g. Just by adding "A Study shows" to something, many people would immediately take it to be true.
@instablog9ja Make then thank God say then still see small collect. Some no dey see collect at all. Never patronize those not in front of GTB. I even prefer going inside GTB with then and credit to my bank account straight.
I cut our Laravel app’s boot time from ~600ms to ~30ms, shaved ~200ms off app runtime, and made our tests run 2× faster.
Along the way, I uncovered hidden bottlenecks in service providers, middleware, permissions, and CI.
Here’s what I did to speed it all up 🧵
React hooks are full of footguns that make it easy to introduce bugs in your code.
I have trained hundreds of developers on React and how to use React hooks effectively.
Here are a few of the most egregious and common ways people misuse hooks.
