Hi @trq212 and the entire @claudeai team,
This downtime really affected my life and made me lose out on a lot, I’m currently emotionally down and depressed. I never expected something like this to happen today of all day. I feel so sad, a 6month max sub would help a little.
Bro!
I met a driver since 2018, her was earning 65k. He is still driving the same boss and his money is still not upto 120k yet. Baba has 4 kids. He doesn’t just drive his bosses he drives their mother when they are not in town. They make him feel like family, yet when they employed a new driver, they started the guy on 150k. He has been too dependent on them and now he is stuck.
The past three months have moved faster than anything I’ve seen in software engineering since I started coding around 2011. Everything has changed!
Reminds me of the saying: "There are decades where nothing happens; and there are weeks where decades happen".
Today I vibecoded a Mac app that allows you to try most SwiftUI animation curves and compare them against each other.
Tweak values, see their differences and try out some actual real world examples, with full code you can copy into your own apps.

Early this year, I came across an Application Security role at an international company on LinkedIn. When I opened the job description, I saw that over 400 people had already applied, but I decided to take a chance anyway.
I made it through the first and second interview rounds. When I got to the third round (the second technical round), I was given several technical tasks to complete within a week.
Two out of the four tasks were secure code review challenges. I was only required to identify vulnerabilities, list them, and provide recommendations. But I knew I wasn’t the only strong candidate, and let’s be honest, being Nigerian, the odds weren’t exactly in my favour. So I knew I had to do something extraordinary.
Instead of doing it the traditional way, I built actual APIs using the vulnerable code they provided. Then I manually exploited each vulnerability exactly the way a real attacker would.
After that, I documented everything and wrote a near-perfect pentest report, screenshots, reproduction steps, impact, and recommendations included.
Then I took it a step further:
I rewrote the vulnerable code securely based on my own recommendations, rebuilt the APIs, and attempted to exploit them again using the same attack paths. Every attack failed, and I documented all of this in the same report to show clear before-and-after proof of remediation.
The crazy part is that, I completed everything in under 24 hours, even though I was given 7 days. I submitted the report with an email that ended with:
“…I hope this early submission won’t incur any penalties.” 😂
I made it to the 4th round (the 3rd technical round), and you could literally see the excitement on the interviewer’s face trying to figure out “who the hell is this guy?” 🤣🤣
Long story short, I made it to the final round, and I eventually got the offer letter.
I’ll attach a redacted version of my report and the GitHub repo link in the comments (PDF format), along with the code I wrote.
I hope this inspires someone out there to always go the extra mile. Be extraordinary in whatever you do.
