I'll dig deeper on Off-Balance Sheet Items-- things that affect risk and profit of a business but not shown as Assets/Liabilities on the BS. Top example is Rent & Leases - ₦500M commitment can be hidden. Banks hated this. That’s why IFRS 16 forced Right-of-Use Asset on BS now.

saw a tech lead in enterprise i used to argue with get laid off, dude spent 4 years almost in the same position

i was the tech lead of an adjacent team and wanted to move things forward, ship products and improve the lives of our fellow engineers - he wanted to argue about code reviews and variable names, always nitpicking things and wanted to be included in all decision making, to make the decision

i quit the job after making the whole enterprise roadmap of AI for my team, this was back when chatgpt was just getting popular, i wonder on what step of roadmap they are on

my team shipped a product in record time and is saving the company several millions every month and i had to fight every PM and VP to get things out while the other team was only worried about getting more ownership of the product and headcount

it became very obvious how and why people play politics in large companies, i wonder now with AI what is the excuse going to be and where all the political experts going to end

so it’s always funny to see how the frontier labs are getting ex-FAANG engineers, sometimes it’s not a good thing, i interviewed many of them and you just end up with people who look good on paper, who can do leetcode but there’s just no juice in them and they need constant hand holding

i guess it’s really hard to find passionate people and sometimes the job is just a job but many people in tech ended up being drones that want an easy career, is it wrong? of course not, but huge comps and even token spend on these people is hard to justify nowadays so i wonder how the tech landscape is going to change

I saw a post on Reddit that said that “The underlying purpose of AI is to allow wealth to access skill while removing from the skilled the ability to access wealth.” And I don’t think I’ve ever seen AI described so incisively.

A common misconception in people early in their career is that they think they should be capable of the work before they’ve done it but it is doing the work that creates the individual that is capable of it.

That’s why this bill is a big deal for SMEs in Nigeria - banks often say “no collateral, no loan”. Factoring says “got invoices from good customers? You’re in”.

[Kalshingin | Sarkin Dogarai @kalshingin]

Let's see. How Factoring works? Because I see some people mix it with borrowing.

But with factoring, you’re not borrowing money. You’re just getting paid early for work you already did.

Look at these 4 simple steps:

[Kalshingin | Sarkin Dogarai @kalshingin]

4. The factor collects from your customer
After 60 days, the big company pays the full ₦1M to the factor, not to you. Done.

Basically it’s the Senate saying “let’s unlock money that’s trapped in unpaid bills”.

[Kalshingin | Sarkin Dogarai @kalshingin]

The Senate just approved a new law that makes it easier for businesses to get cash fast. The Senate on Tuesday passed the Factoring, Assignments and Receivables Financing Bill, 2026.

What it means:

[Kalshingin | Sarkin Dogarai @kalshingin]

3. Why it matters:
Think like selling IOUs for instant cash.
- Better cash flow: SMEs don’t have to wait months to get paid
- More loans: Banks will be willing to lend because the law protects them
- More trade: Both local & international deals get smoother when cash isn’t stuck

Using findFirst() on the wrong Isar builder shape is the most annoying thing ever.

[Kalshingin | Sarkin Dogarai @kalshingin]

For a generation raised on layoffs, lockdowns and AI anxiety, one job no longer feels like security. From side hustles to passive income, Gen Z is building financial backup plans before its careers have even begun.

This tweet is a mirror, not a complaint.

Everyone's friend has that job. Six figures, zero urgency, chicken pictures on a Tuesday afternoon. And the quiet reaction most people have is not outrage. It's envy.

Here's what the data actually says about that reaction.

Research by Voucher Cloud found that the average office worker is productive for only 2 hours and 23 minutes per day, regardless of the 8-hour contract they signed. Your $250K biotech manager friend is not an anomaly. He is just more transparent about it.

The average American works about two hours and 53 minutes a day. The rest goes to reading news, scrolling social media, chatting with coworkers, and sometimes quietly looking for a new job. What changes at $250K is not the output. It is the leverage, the title, and the cost of being replaced.

That's the uncomfortable truth buried in this tweet.

Corporate compensation at the manager level in knowledge industries is not a payment for hours. It is a payment for availability, accountability, and institutional memory. The chicken pictures are the interface. The decade of relationships, jargon fluency, and political capital is the asset.

And the market agrees. The average Glassdoor-reported biotech professional in the U.S. earns $157,058 per year, with top earners at the 90th percentile reaching $221,123. $250K is real. It is not a fluke.

Now here is the part that should genuinely surprise you.

The r/overemployment subreddit, with more than 430,000 members, has a single stated mission: "Work multiple jobs, reach financial freedom." Tens of thousands of knowledge workers are not just coasting at one job. They are collecting two or three full salaries simultaneously. One user shared how he balanced two full-time jobs and made an extra $300,000 in a single year in the process.

The person sending chicken pictures might be doing it from two Slack workspaces at once.

Many employees see corporations as unreliable, especially after widespread layoffs during the pandemic. Stories of workers denied promotions, left without raises, and blindsided by colleagues' advancements resonate with people who feel overlooked. The low-effort high-salary job is not laziness. For a lot of people, it is a rational response to a system that normalized disposability.

The real question this tweet raises is not "how do I get that job."

It is: what are you building outside of it? The people who will be fine in ten years are the ones who used the margin that cushy role gave them, time, money, and mental space, to build something that compounds.

The chicken pictures are fine. Just make sure they are not the whole portfolio.
