Why I couldn’t care less about @AlexHormozi’s record, @StevenBartlett’s networth or @forbesfamilygrp Dean Forbes’ influence.

I haven't anticipated a weekend this much in a long time.

This week has been nothing short of a rollercoaster.

One of the best basic investments you can make for yourself as a young person, is increasing your exposure to quality information.

It’s so underrated.

The fastest way to accelerate your career is to get in environments where your dream life is their average Thursday.

[BOSS @thebeautyofsaas]

it is an unwritten rule of life that after every prolonged period of hardship and uncertainty, there is going to be a period when you are going to achieve quantum leaps across multiple areas of your life. the only requirement is that you do not give up on yourself

Exposure shapes cognition;

Mostly your beliefs, expectations and standards are shaped by repeated exposure.

Your digital environment is now one of your strongest influences.

Shape your environment to reflect the standards you want to live by.

In the spirit of taking bold steps in this new year, I’m sharing my journey about how I became one of the key builders in Africa’s biggest startups.

Yup, in 2023, I joined @chowdeck as its first female software engineer and one of its founding engineers, and built the delivery infrastructure and backend systems that power the app used by millions today.

Enjoy! #BuildingChowdeck

Sometimes, Direction is not enough, you also need guidance, Chief

[Dev_Abdul 🇦🇪 🇳🇬 @dev_abdul_]

@Akintola_steve Not required, but it helps. That’s how you know a backend engineer truly understands the product.

Alignment is key in software development.

Start with a flow diagram, share it across the team, and refine as you go.

Logs tell you what happened
Metrics tell you how often it happens
Traces tell you why it happened

[Chowdeck @chowdeck]

You asked. Of course, We listened.

Live Tracking is officially on Chowdeck, and it’s here to stay 🚀🤭

OMG! I just stumbled upon the best API tool I’ve ever used — @ApidogHQ . Absolutely impressive!

[Mojisola Alegbe @yehhmisi]

Imagine a software engineer whose profile shows:

=> Enterprise system experience
=> Startup experience (building from 0 → production)
=> Production debugging experience
=> System design exposure
=> Ownership of major features/products
=> Experience collaborating with product, design, and business teams
=> Experience scaling systems for real users

That should be YOU.

[Wise @trikcode]

The most valuable skill in tech now?

Knowing when to stop coding and start thinking.

[Dev_Abdul 🇦🇪 🇳🇬 @dev_abdul_]

One key trait I’ve noticed in senior managers is that they avoid assumptions.

Uncertainty isn’t something they settle for; they ask questions and pursue clarity.

It’s a mindset that prioritizes informed decisions over speculation.
