Be relentlessly & unabashedly yourself....
The world will adjust.

[Dr. Julie Gurner @drgurner]

You really have to be smart about what you read & believe online....

There is so much misinformation. Not just about political things or the news, but about life, relationships, business, and work.

People will ruin their life following bad advice.
Think for yourself.

[Ijai @Linus_ijai]

It has become more clear to me that life is not all about making the right decisions, but more about recovering quickly from the bad ones.

Learn the lesson, and get back up as fast as possible.

until it happens to you, you will think you are very careful, very responsible, very smart, very religious, very mature, very private, very etc.

@officialladi_T It simply means two things happening at the same time does not mean one is making the other to happen.

The real reason you're tired all the time: It's not your workload. It's your open loops. The text you haven't answered. The apology you owe. The decision you're avoiding. The conversation you keep postponing. These run in the background of your mind all day, draining your battery. Close your loops. Watch your energy return. Mental clutter is more exhausting than physical work ever will be.

Do you know one thing that can take away your spark? "Being jobless" you stop caring about the clothes you wear and how you look, even how you carry yourself, You start ghosting people. Chomi, it's not a good place to be.

@jbarbier Thank you Julien
beyond software engineering, we've gained some valuable skills from #ALX_SE

[Julien Barbier 🙃❤️🏴‍☠️ @jbarbier]

After 3 incredible years and 1.6M students later, my journey at ALX Africa has come to an end.

It has been a life-changing experience, during which I made a lot of friends, worked with an incredibly dedicated team, and met so many talented students.

A few numbers. We scaled from a few thousand students to 1.6M students on our platform. Students loved it and many of them took more than one course: 4M total! For the famous #ALX_SE Software engineering program, our SE students made an average of 2,000 commits and our checker reviewed 180M of their projects. That’s 2B lines of code… and that was before Claude Code. They actually wrote these themselves (unless Kimba said otherwise :)

A big thank you to all my SE team mates, I am so proud of what we have accomplished, and I will really miss you all. Thank you to Fred for the trust he put in me and always supporting my crazy new and disruptive ideas.

Thank you to my students. It was an honor to work with you, watch you struggle but relentlessly move forward, no matter what, until you got this job. To those who are still struggling finding this job, keep pushing forward. Don’t let go. You got this. You all have worked so hard and I am so proud of you. You are the greatest thing I've ever been part of and I can't wait to see what impact you will have on the world. It’s your turn to shine now, and hopefully for some of you to give back to the community whenever you are in a position to.

I hope you’ll keep sharing the good news with me when you get this internship, this job, or when you launch your company. These messages are everything to me. In any case, I’ll be watching you from afar, and you can count on me to continue answering all your LinkedIn and X messages.

Can’t conclude without ALX Africa’s signature: continue to “Do Hard Things”. Remember who you are, where you are coming from, and where you set out to go. I’ll see you there soon.

With love.

J

I have the highest respect for anyone who took an idea in their mind, and turned it into something real.

One of the saddest parts of the hustle culture is that if you don't make it, there will be no evidence that you tried.

@Chime_Fave There's no accident in cheating

[Ijai @Linus_ijai]

@itz_taser Many people hide under the guise of love to have their material needs met, instead of loving genuinely and using material things to spice it up.

This is an apology to my mom for all the times she came home from a long day of work and my unemployed teenage self had the audacity not to have done the simple tasks she asked of me. I get it now.
