1. Avoid overengineering, the simpler the better
2. Learn system design first!, You cnt go wrong if you know where you are suppose to begin and where you should end.
3. Read other peoples code, it will 2X your style.
4. Debugging is a skill.
5. It's okay to have blockers

Senior engineers, what’s the biggest mistake juniors make?

[albusdd @OfficialSamAyo]

While OpenAI and Anthropic’s models are widely available, the secrets of building effective AI applications are hidden in niche Twitter/X accounts, in-person SF meetups, and founder groupchats.

Industry analysis have shown that when RAG fails, the failure point is retrieval 73% of the time, not generation. Naive RAG pipelines fail at retrieval ~40% of the time.

@chukaobi brooooo, this is his personal page. if e reach your turn no do PR for yourself.

Nigerians can sound dumb unnecessarily.

[albusdd @OfficialSamAyo]

@kelvinsekx @bigbrutha_ It's an open role, you'd get full feedback during interview process I believe.

I'm currently seeking a fullstack typescript engineer[mid-level]. If this is you, send your cv to [email protected].

[albusdd @OfficialSamAyo]

I read a post where someone said everything he thinks of a business idea, he feels discouraged and says to himself: anyone with AI can build this.
Here's something interesting: anyone can bake bread in their home but 99.9% of us still visit the bakery.

The better way to resolve the skill gap is to enforce and encourage hierarchical mentorship.
Mentorship first! Before communities.

I've preached this for years. That's why I'm very particular about mentorship.

You can't monitor growth from a crowd level.

[albusdd @OfficialSamAyo]

@kofookesola There's sense and nonsense in this.

One of those rare times where two polarities coexists.
Except if it isn't public, harsh feedback is no feedback and crowd sourcing real critique is a very dangerous thing.

[albusdd @OfficialSamAyo]

True.

[Ben X @Benn_X1]

"Don’t do X, do Y" is different from "I am working on a side project (or learning Go) and instead of doing X, I did Y because…"

One is posturing as a thought leader while the other one sounds like someone who is documenting their learning journey,

This post is getting a lot of backlash because a thought leader is not supposed to be this wrong about something as simple as this.

[albusdd @OfficialSamAyo]

@dannyclassi_c So dnt ever let it get to you.
Filter the feedback, adapt, adopt and iterate a better version of this system.

Go+postgres is a good tech stack BTW

[albusdd @OfficialSamAyo]

I see a lot of people pulling down instead of just submitting simple, constructive feedback.

Shame to you all.
@dannyclassi_c, learning and sharing information openly is a good thing. The whole essence of why it's a good thing is it invites open opinions last I checked.

[DevDanny👨‍💻 @dannyclassi_c]

Your registration endpoint shouldn’t leave orphaned users in the database when the welcome email fails to send.

The problem: user creation lives in PostgreSQL. Email sending lives in an external service. You can’t wrap both in a single database transaction.

The fix: if the email fails, delete the user and their invitation. This is the SAGA pattern. When a multi-system operation fails partway through, you compensate by undoing the completed steps.

Built this today in Go with Resend for email delivery and PostgreSQL transactions for the rollback.

[albusdd @OfficialSamAyo]

@d_fiyinfoluwa1 well, i dialed in

[albusdd @OfficialSamAyo]

@lordTQ01 @Gidi_Traffic chief, did you get any?

[albusdd @OfficialSamAyo]

@Sterling_Bankng I dont understand the banking system you guys are running.
Why force customers to go use oneBank app when it is not stable.I cant even reset my password, the security question dropdown is blank😤.
MUST I USE ONEBANK APP?!
Your website should support onlinebankng

[albusdd @OfficialSamAyo]

Maybe, just maybe, I might decide to dabble into transaction intelligence and adaptive security engineering for financial systems.

Maybe... but you never know unless you're there.

See you on Saturday!

[albusdd @OfficialSamAyo]

While some applied with so much deliberate focus, some of you applied like you're flinging your resume through a door.

It interpretes your character for you instantly. Being called upon to read some of your application, I just bowed my head.

C'mon
You cn literally do better!

[albusdd @OfficialSamAyo]

I put out an internship post under my profile. It got overwhelmed with over 1k+ applications in 3days. This isnt even a FT job.
The feedback I've gotten from your interviews should you're all geniuses in the making. I'm super impressed by some of you.

Note: some of you.
