Having too much potential is dangerous. It makes people support you less. I shared my thoughts in this article.

This is the kind of builder culture we want to keep growing in Abuja and across the tech ecosystem.

One day. A room full of builders. Countless ideas brought to life.

DevCircles Abuja joined the Monad Blitz Hackathon as a community partner, bringing developers together to build, collaborate and pitch on the Monad blockchain.

Here’s what happened.

@devcircles_ Seeing people so focused on turning their ideas into real products within a single day was an amazing experience. Thanks to Cortex Ng for bringing this to the Abuja tech community. It was an awesome experience

Nigeria and Africa have no shortage of tech talent.

The bigger challenge is access.

That's one of the reasons we started DevCircles: to build local tech communities where people can connect, learn, collaborate, and grow.

Talent is everywhere. Access should too

DevCircles started in 2019 with a group called Abuja Developers Circle.

Since then, the vision has grown beyond one city and one community.

I wrote about where DevCircles came from, what we're building, and where we're headed.

Build. Learn. Compete.

This is more than a regulatory shift. It's a business opportunity.

Any company that is able to build secure, reliable, and scalable cloud infrastructure for Nigeria's financial sector could become some of the most valuable technology companies on the continent.

Every great tech ecosystem starts with a community. That's exactly what we're building at DevCircles.

DevCircles is a community-driven tech ecosystem empowering developers & tech professionals through collaboration, learning, networking and opportunities.

#DevCircles #Community

What was it like attending the recent DevCircles Tech Event?

[DevCircles @devcircles_]

Communities don't just grow through events. They grow through conversations

Every connection starts with a simple introduction & sometimes, that's all it takes to create the next big opportunity.

At DevCircles we're building stronger tech communities. One conversation at a time

A throwback to our early days as Abuja Developers Circle now DevCircles Abuja
Long before DevCircles expanded across states, we were building community through initiatives like #100DaysOfCode

[Philemon John @feelphils_]

Day 2 #100DaysOfCode
Took out time to learn the differences between object oriented programming and procedural. Examples of OOP are Python, Java, C++, Ruby C#.
Procedurals are C, Fortran, PHP(earlier version of <3)
JavaScript is neither OOP or Pr
#AbujaDevelopersCircle #Python

[Philemon John @feelphils_]

Every community has a beginning.
Before DevCircles, there was Abuja Developers Circle.

This #100DaysOfCode challenge was one of the many initiatives that shaped our journey.
Looking back, the vision has always been bigger than one city.

Abuja Developers Circle 100 days of code begins today
Really excited to be part of this journey to learning Python anew

Learning programming takes time. Don't give up!
