"My son please wake up, wake up, I know you're there, my son you're not dead. Promise isn't dead, my son wake up" This is a mother begging and hoping her son comes back to life.
This woman didn't make it. She passed too. Nigeria has shattered me💔💔
Day 2: Proxy Panic 😀
1/3
This reminds me of a scraper I always have running on a small DigitalOcean droplet with rotating proxies. It requires me to periodically check if the scraper hasn’t exceeded its data range.
2/3
If it has, I must stop it and readjust the range. It’s a bit tricky to do this via code as it would lead to wasted proxies. So If I forget to check this scraper for like a day or two, I’ll just wake up to realize that I’ve been wasting useful proxies 😄️
The first rule of web scraping is: You do not talk about web scraping.
The second rule of web scraping is: You DO NOT talk about web scraping.
But wait a sec, since I’m not a member of any underground scraping club, I think I’m safe doing so !? 🙂
Day 1: The Scraping Journey Begins
Hey everyone! 👋
Over the next few weeks I’ll share lessons from my 2+ years doing web scraping. Everything from battling captchas to decoding hidden APIs. Stay tuned! 😊

Today we're excited to introduce Devin, the first AI software engineer.
Devin is the new state-of-the-art on the SWE-Bench coding benchmark, has successfully passed practical engineering interviews from leading AI companies, and has even completed real jobs on Upwork.
Devin is an autonomous agent that solves engineering tasks through the use of its own shell, code editor, and web browser.
When evaluated on the SWE-Bench benchmark, which asks an AI to resolve GitHub issues found in real-world open-source projects, Devin correctly resolves 13.86% of the issues unassisted, far exceeding the previous state-of-the-art model performance of 1.96% unassisted and 4.80% assisted.
Check out what Devin can do in the thread below.
On day two of the DLD conference, I played a simultaneous chess match against 10 players at once.
After an almost two hour battle of wits ,I managed to win all the games.
The Chess exhibition helped us raise enough money to support the education of 100 children in our academy.
A young boy made a tweet seen as “insulting” to GEJ, he was picked up and locked up.
Someone names their dog “Buhari”, he was picked up and locked up.
Someone said Aisha Buhari was “getting fat” on govt funds, he was picked up and locked up.
Someone made a negative review of a worthless tomato paste by a useless company, she was picked up within 48hours by police.
But 200 people massacred in Plateau 3weeks ago, the govt does nothing.
A man and his 6daughters kidnapped. One of the girls already killed. The govt does nothing. Nobody arrested.
One day we will all realise that IF the security forces and the govt considers something to be a priority, they work and they have the resources to work.
If a govt official feels insulted,
You will see how good the security forces can be.
But when a common Nigerian is massacred and slaughtered, the govt simply looks away and fold its arms.
One day we will realise very soon that it is NOT the case that the govt cannot secure our lives, it is NOT the case that the police force are unequipped to protect our lives, it is not the case that the DSS is unable to fish out the criminal lunatics behind our collective suffering as a people,
The sad truth nobody will tell you is that to the govt, our ives are meaningless, worthless and valueless as Nigerians.
