The day I truly understood that no one is responsible for my life not my brother, not my friends, not anyone everything changed.
No one owes me money.
No one owes me a better life.
That realization made me push harder, even when there was no support.

@the_Lawrenz I'm available sir

If your app looks broken,
it might just be your frontend embarrassing your backend 😭

Paystack was splitting payments perfectly…

I just wasn’t displaying the bank name.

[Jonah Godspower @codewithjonah]

I thought my Paystack integration was broken.

Payments weren’t showing correctly.

Spent hours debugging…

Only to realize:
👉 Nothing was broken.

Money was flowing.
My UI was lying.

The secret? Queue Name.

Queue and Worker connect through the SAME name in Redis.

Queue stores: job data
Worker watches: same queue
Connection: automatic 🔗

Simple but powerful.

[Jonah Godspower @codewithjonah]

🚀 I just built a job queue system for my fintech wallet API

The difference between junior and senior devs?

How you handle background tasks.

Here's what I learned 🧵👇

[Jonah Godspower @codewithjonah]

✅ The RIGHT way (what I built):

User clicks button
→ Job added to Redis (5ms)
→ User gets instant response ⚡

Meanwhile, a background worker:
→ Picks up the job
→ Sends the email
→ Auto-retries if it fails

[Jonah Godspower @codewithjonah]

Haven't been active because of my health for close to 2weeks but today I was able to achieve something integrated resend for email distribution also used redis and bullmQ for background jobs

Was a great success today even If I didn't spend a lot of time on it

Don't complain when you face seasons of loneliness. See them as a strategic time to discover who you truly are. When handled well, loneliness brings essential insights.

@aramp0x @eliana_jordan Thank you for this words

@Manixh02 Split your task and allow it handle it one after the other

[Jonah Godspower @codewithjonah]

@bloomrisen @karthikponna19 So relatable I tried vibe coding a project and I suffered this also

[Jonah Godspower @codewithjonah]

The situation in this industry now is something 🤧

@prisma Still struggling with seeding actually on Prisma 7

[Jonah Godspower @codewithjonah]

Spent the past few days wrestling with Docker, PostgreSQL, Prisma, and TypeScript — and came out on top.

From failed remote connections, password mismatches, container confusion, Prisma not generating, migrations breaking…

[Jonah Godspower @codewithjonah]

@fidexcode Next js all the way
