@madebydanl Read it. Good job.

[Darlington Okorie @iamdevdarl]

Problem solving is not a talent.
It’s a way of paying attention.
Most people ask:
“What should I build?”

[Darlington Okorie @iamdevdarl]

@madebydanl Thank you so much for sharing.

Ps: I had responded earlier but I guess there was a glitch cos it didn't send.

[Darlington Okorie @iamdevdarl]

@Akintola_steve Waiting to hear your thoughts.

[Darlington Okorie @iamdevdarl]

@Akintola_steve Developers focus on practical solutions ie apps, products and features. Engineers iterate, invent, innovate with codebases and codes. They also go deeper as they're the ones who usually end up being open source contributors, higher (and sometimes lower) level language creators.

If you can't code, you might not really know how to vibecode.

If you're building an application, and you've never thought about what happens when the network disappears, you've built a beautiful piece of rubbish

The best apps in the world work in Lagos Island traffic, in a village in Kogi State, in a London tube with no signal

This thread explains exactly how to build an offline-first architecture that works anywhere, regardless of bandwidth

Save this and share it. Your team needs to read it.

A bit of video on preparing an app brief if and when you do want to hire a developer or if you work with developers.

@AKirtesh 8000, mostly.

[Darlington Okorie @iamdevdarl]

@Akintola_steve Most CTOs don't code, neither do most of the upper management in a team. Product managers, Developer Relations and obviously each of the other non-developer team members.
There are diverse ways to be in tech.

@madebydanl Please share. I'd love to read.

[Darlington Okorie @iamdevdarl]

Problem solving isn't just about creativity. It's about observation, repetition, curiosity, and understanding what sits beneath the surface.
That's where many great ideas begin.

[Darlington Okorie @iamdevdarl]

I've also found that many people overestimate the size of the solution required. Some of the biggest improvements come from surprisingly small changes: removing a step, clarifying information, simplifying a workflow, or reducing friction.
