Let's introduce ourselves once more; I'll start.

I'm Vincent, a fullstack dev by day, open source enthusiast by night 🔥. Coding up a storm and spreading the love of tech one pull request at a time 💻. Chili-powered and always ready to tackle the next challenge 🌶️.

Let me explain.

In JavaScript, forEach is for performing side effects rather than producing new value meaning it doesn’t allow callback returns because by default it returns undefined.

Now how does this relate to this problem? It relates to this problem because it checks matchingItem after the loop ends, but forEach doesn't allow breaking early or early returns which means it would have to iterate through the entire cart array every time, and if a match is found, matchingItem is only updated but the loop continues. If the last item doesn't match, matchingItem ends up undefined.

So I think the optimal method to use in this case would be the find() method.

@iam_feranmi_ @toposkey @Raynerdtech @KharayKrayKray @_devJNS Hmm, that’s true.

Taking a second look at it, the problem is the kind of loop method used. That has to be the problem.

@emmannuel_codes @prime_sui Newbie final boss dey call person newbie.💀

[VinJex @_VinJex]

@prime_sui Na from the comment section you go know say most of this newbies engineer no sabi anything.

Like AI has done more harm to them than good and it’s really sad.

[VinJex @_VinJex]

@prime_sui Na lie!!! This can’t be true because what?!

If you even ask me for pictures before I sign the contract with you, I won’t send you nothing.

Of course, most of the anime you’ve watched so far are genuinely top-tier, and honestly, I think it’ll start becoming difficult for you to find other shows that can consistently match the standard those ones have already set for you.

At the same time, I honestly don’t think you’d have the patience for long-running series like Bleach, Attack on Titan, Naruto, or One Piece since you’ve seen a lot of fast-paced anime.

[VinJex @_VinJex]

You don’t even need to say it directly for me to know you’re part of the new-generation anime crowd. It’s obvious, especially with how much you prefer fast-paced anime over shows that take their time building the story.

I find Blood of Zeus boring. Anyways, I think you should watch Vinland Saga next. You’ll probably like it.

That is literally what a subject complement is. A subject complement complements the subject through a linking verb.

I never said “16” is complementing the verb itself. The linking verb is simply the bridge connecting the subject to its complement.

So saying “16 is the subject complement” and “16 complements the subject” does not contradict anything I said.

“Remains 16” is grammatically understandable, but it is still incomplete in formal usage because the unit is omitted. Age is measured in years, so official writing should explicitly state “16 years.���

By your logic, “His height remains 6” would also be complete. Complete in what? Feet? Inches? Context may help people infer the meaning, but that does not make the construction correct or formally precise.

@EmmanuelUg62672 @JAMBHQ It’s seriously so shameful.

[VinJex @_VinJex]

@OyindaJr @JAMBHQ It’s such a shame.

[VinJex @_VinJex]

@adeosunjnr @grok @Feranmiisrael9 @JAMBHQ “Remains 16” is understandable in casual English, but in formal institutional writing, it is incomplete stylistically because the unit is omitted. It should properly read “remains 16 years.”

Also, “16” is not a subject qualifier. It is a complement of the linking verb “remains.”

[VinJex @_VinJex]

@OyindaJr @KharayKrayKray Even with their world-class management and global talent, they’re still cooking this. 😂

[VinJex @_VinJex]

@deartrader__ That’s exactly how you become profitable.

[VinJex @_VinJex]

Each time I think about that video, this exact phrase comes straight to my mind and I honestly do not think I’m forgetting it anytime soon. I do not care how many times people drag that man, I will always support it because that statement was completely uncalled for.

Imagine saying Nigerians are not bright when you yourself are Nigerian and also the CEO of Moniepoint. The irony is insane. So what exactly is he trying to say? That he is not bright too? Because by his own logic, he should be included in the same category he is talking about. I don’t even care if he’s included or not, you just don’t make such reckless statements.

[VinJex @_VinJex]

@morizuq Just imagine, he even had to fabricate numbers to sell Nigerians as incompetent people. That just says a lot about what their company is all about. So shameful.

[VinJex @_VinJex]

You’re the CEO of Moniepoint and instead of taking responsibility for your hiring failures, you are blaming an entire country’s intelligence. That is just so nasty and pathetic.

You claim you have hundreds of open roles and cannot find talent,
So whose problem is that? Nigerians or a failure of your system? If you cannot attract or identify qualified people at that scale, then your hiring process is flawed, your expectations are disconnected from your compensation, or your company is not appealing to the level of talent you claim to want.

You cannot demand engineers who meet global standards while offering local compensation and then act surprised when the best candidates either ignore you or leave the country. That contradiction alone explains most of your problem. Yes, of course, you won’t see that because the problem is that Nigerians have low IQ.

The claim about IQ makes his argument worse. Intelligence is not something you measure casually based on hiring outcomes. What he is actually describing is the impact of poor education systems, brain drain, and weak incentives. Those are structural issues, not a reflection of inherent ability.

To make it even worse, he thinks bringing up hookup culture and fraud adds something to his point. I mean how does it explain engineering capability and how does it justify his conclusion? The only thing it proves is a lack of focus and responsibility for their failures.

Nigeria produces engineers who are building systems used globally every day. The issue is not the absence of talent. The issue is access to that talent, how you evaluate it, and how you retain it. If after reviewing a large pool of candidates you still cannot find quality, then the problem starts with your process, not the intelligence of millions of people.

Fix your fucking system before you start making claims about the country.

[VinJex @_VinJex]

@maxe_designs Nothing pissed me off more than those people applauding the rubbish that was spitted from his mouth.

[VinJex @_VinJex]

@morizuq Somebody that’s so stupid. It is even a big red flag to have 500 openings at the same time for a big company like Moniepoint.
