5 Years From Now I'll have,
1) A TECH RESEARCH HUB filled with my own inventions!
2) A High Level ART GALLERY filled with my own Amazing Art Pieces!
3) A LIBRARY Filled With My Own PUBLICATIONS!
I'm a dev who writes and draws in an open CANVAS. Welcome to My SPACE!
Tech guys are really making bank in this country.
Yesterday I was chatting with a guy from the company that supplies accounting software to the office where I work. He told me he consults for over 40 companies in Kenya, plus several more in Zambia and Tanzania.
Each consultancy takes him less than two hours and he gets paid 5k for it. Do the maths, he can easily clear atleast 20k in a single day.
On top of that, he earns 5% commission every time those companies renew their monthly or yearly subscriptions. From commissions alone he is pulling in close to 2 million a year.
He is in his 20s… same age as me.
That man can pocket my entire monthly salary in one day.
I spent the rest of the day just sitting there thinking about my life.
This week, as I sat at my desk at work, it dawned on me that I get to work alongside some truly exceptional minds. I'm talking about published authors, programming language designers, contributors to language specifications and international standards, postdoctoral researchers and PhD holders. I get to collaborate with them to build solutions to some of humanity's most difficult challenges.
And the best part?
They value my contributions, seek my opinions on things, act on my corrections when I raise them and provide feedback on my work.
I am not an onlooker. I am an active participant in this ecosystem and community.

Man, never stop betting on yourself! Never stop inventing and reinventing yourself!
If it was invented by man, you can invent it. If it doesn't defy the laws of physics, you can achieve it. And if it defies the laws of physics and the universe, we will die trying!
There's more to do, but for now, I pause and acknowledge how far I've come.
I remember the first day of Andela bootcamp Lolo(An engineer at Andela who served as an LFA) mentioned a tool called postman for testing APIs. I’d never heard of postman till then. The doubts I had about the vastness of the career were manifested right there and then 😂
Well put Aliviza; Ownership means understanding the business angle of your product or service. That mindset helps you to build and grow and an ecosystem from scratch without depending on external forces that will limit your growth.
If you're a Nigerian student or graduate, you can tap into this update.
Beginner tasks pay 💰$5-$15 while student related assessments pay up to $500 per month.
You'll perform AI assessment projects across any field but most recommendably your field of study. If you don't have any field, language-related tasks would do.
Payment can be done via local bank transfer.
I just received a TesterWork invitation worth $72 for a 24-hour testing cycle!
If you're not on TesterWork yet, you're seriously missing out on opportunities.
Don't sleep on software testing platforms!
🚨 uTest pays, but not how you think.
You don't get a salary. You get paid per approved bug.
And that changes everything.
Here's the truth about earning on uTest 👇

What if I told you the guides people were asking me about for Mercor, micro1 and Meridial are now in one place?
I put everything together, as many asked me to.
Pick one and read it, so you won’t be asking questions like, what is Mercor, how do I pass domain expert or prep for it.
📄 Mastering Mercor (PDF) 📄 Crack the Zara Interview, micro1 (PDF) 📄 Mercor Domain Expert (PDF) 🎥 Passing the Mercor Domain Expert assessment (video, 13 mins) 🎥 micro1 AI Guide (video, 14 mins) 📄 Meridial Guide (PDF)
6 resources. 3 platforms.
One bundle.
I want you to note this: most people fail these platforms because they walk in unprepared, not because they lack skill. They rush the assessment, mess up the interview, start with a basic resume, or get stuck on verification. This is how you avoid that.
It's open for 5 days only.
