@iam_sapisto, this is why Messi is the greatest, I’m done trying to make you see the light. Show me one video where anybody is talking about how to mark someone like this ever. This sort of conversation.🤣🤣🤣🤣
I’m looking for the right remote role for the next five years.
Not because I’ve stopped building independently.
Because I want to experience what becomes possible when the range I’ve developed is combined with an ambitious team, global distribution, serious resources, and problems operating at scale.
Today, I:
• Lead Sails.js, actively maintaining the framework, shaping its direction, and growing the ecosystem around it
• Build The Boring JavaScript Stack
• Build Slipway, a deployment platform for Sails applications
• Run Sailscasts, where I teach developers to build full-stack JavaScript applications
• Publish The African Engineer, covering how technology is built across Africa
• Build Hagfish, an invoicing product for creators and independent professionals
• Consult with companies on engineering, architecture, products, and developer experience
• Write, teach, speak, lead, and build in public
I have spent years operating across software engineering, open source, infrastructure, education, media, product, community, and business.
Now I want to bring that experience into the right global technology company.
I’m looking for a role where I can build software, lead technical initiatives, improve developer experience, teach developers, write, speak at conferences, shape products, and help grow an ecosystem around important technology.
I do my best work in an environment that is:
• Remote and async-first
• Low-meeting and high-trust
• Flexible rather than rigidly 9-to-5
• Built around deep work and strong written communication
• Focused on outcomes, quality, and impact
• Compatible with responsible open-source and independent work
I don’t want to perform productivity.
Give me meaningful problems, clear context, ownership, talented teammates, and the freedom to deliver excellent work.
Above all, I want to work on something I’ll be proud to attach my name to.
I’m especially interested in Developer Experience, Open Source, AI Developer Platforms, Staff Engineering, Developer Relations Engineering, Developer Education, and Technical Ecosystem roles.
If your company needs someone who can build the technology, understand the developer, explain the product, teach the market, and grow the ecosystem around it, let’s talk.
Reposts appreciated.
@Ace_KYD Nice piece, read till the end. I don’t argue with people who think Ronaldo and Messi are on the same bar, nobody is close to Messi, just how I prefer Davido to Wizkid, I know that by pure talent Wizkid is better, but I just like Davido better. That’s just how it is for others
@ossynoya I’ve used fable and I think that Codex is better largely, like codex understands engineering practices, how to tackle a problem, how to research, but Claude doesn’t get that, well for me
We hired a new VP of Engineering who is obsessed with agile methodology.
He called a meeting on his first day and said we need to transition to 2-week development sprints.
He wanted daily stand-ups, retrospective boards, and continuous deployment pipelines.
He wanted us to actually write new code.
I realized immediately that he was an existential threat to my lifestyle.
I let him finish his impassioned speech about workflow velocity.
Then I stood up, walked to the whiteboard, and drew a single horizontal line.
I told him agile sprints are a localized solution for a localized mindset.
I said our infrastructure operates on a Zenith Release Cycle.
He asked what a Zenith Release Cycle was.
I told him it's a holistic, macro-stabilization framework where we observe the system in a state of prolonged stasis.
By not touching the code for 18 months, we allow the legacy dependencies to organically settle.
I told him that deploying bi-weekly updates creates micro-abrasions in our database architecture.
I used the phrase chronological data scarring.
The CEO was in the room and audibly gasped.
He told the new VP that we can't risk chronological data scarring just to satisfy a trendy tech buzzword.
The VP looked at me like I'd just invented a new color.
He was completely paralyzed by the sheer density of my fabricated jargon.
He quietly agreed to adopt the Zenith Release Cycle.
We're officially scheduled to deploy our next update in the third quarter of 2027.
I spent the rest of the afternoon buying things I don't need on Amazon.
Agile is a disease invented by people who want to be punished for their salary.
I refuse to participate in my own suffering.
🚨Lionel Scaloni on Lionel Messi after Argentina’s comeback against Egypt:
🗣️ Reporter: “Scaloni, people always say this team is trying to win the World Cup for Messi. Do you feel that pressure?”
🗣️ Lionel Scaloni:
“I actually think people have it the wrong way around.
Today, it looked like Leo was trying to win it for all of us.
We were two goals behind. The game was slipping away. He never complained, never pointed fingers. He simply asked for the ball.
He created our first goal.
Then he scored the equaliser.
That is what leaders do.
After the final whistle, I saw something people rarely see. Leo was emotional. Not because he had scored, but because he genuinely carries the responsibility of this team on his shoulders. Sometimes I think he worries more about letting his teammates down than any of us worry about letting him down.
That’s why this dressing room respects him so much.
People admire Lionel Messi because of the goals and the trophies.
We admire him because, even after everything he has achieved, he still feels responsible for every player wearing the Argentina shirt.
I started a new job today and my manager is promising me to lead a department in 2 years time. Na lie. He wants to tie me down 😂😭💔
Analytics team is built around me😂😭
