Nobody tells Nigerian devs this:
If you build a product that causes harm because of a software defect and you had no disclaimer, no limitation of liability clause, no terms you can be personally sued.
Consumer Protection Act covers digital products.
Your app is not exempt because it’s an app.
Being a "backend engineer" is not a skill.
It's a department.
Moniepoint posted roles, struggled to find qualified Nigerians, and Nigerians on the internet showed their displeasure.
But still, nobody touched the actual problem.
This thread will make some of you uncomfortable.
That's fine.
It's only a problem for people who don't read with an open mind.
Modern women obsession with "soft life" and "princess treatment" has made a whole generation of women completely blind to the brutal reality of what it actually takes for a man to provide that.
You are demanding a man be endlessly romantic, available 24/7, and constantly planning aesthetic dates, while he is literally in the trenches fighting a ruthless economy to build the very empire you want to rest in.
You cannot demand the spoils of war and then complain that the soldier is too tired to entertain you when he finally gets home. We want the absolute financial security of a conqueror, but we expect him to have the carefree personality and infinite free time of a golden retriever. A man cannot simultaneously be at peace and at war. If he is building your fortress, you have to give him the grace to be exhausted
I love Eric’s videos but you see this one, PLEASE WATCH IT!!!!
When he said, “The cost of entry is AUDACITY”, I just screamed!!!!
2026 is all about audacity for me oh!!!!
I don’t know much about animals. I’m more of a programming person, but I do know a programming language named after one, the Python programming language.
Python doesn’t use pointers like these directly (it does under the hood, but they’re abstracted away so Python programmers don’t tear their ACL), so I won’t call this Pythonic.
You’re wondering what pointers are?!
Stick with me:
A pointer is a reference to an address in memory where data lives. That probably didn’t make a lot of sense to high level programmers, so let’s break it down with a simple analogy.
Imagine a world where life is eternal and you were trying to find my great great great grandfather. Even I don’t know that man, but I know my father… my father knows his father… his father knows his father… and if we follow that chain, we’d eventually reach the great-great-great. You get the idea.
Pointers are heavily used to implement a lot of low-level programming concepts. A simple example is a data structure called a linked list.
When you hear “blockchain,” you can imagine a long linked list. All you need is the first block as the beginning.
It stores all the data about that block’s transactions (like me)… and a pointer to the next block (in our analogy, my father)… who stores his own data and a pointer to the next block (his father)… and so on. And when you link all those blocks together, you get a chain of blocks…a blockchain.
Okay, now I’m just abusing this long tweet feature.
