@nickmuthumbi Let me know when you need a JavaScript ninja: React, Node, Express, Deno, etc...

Building alone looks overwhelming until you realise every big project is just plenty small tasks stacked together.

Take it one step at a time. Keep moving.

Building solo forces you to learn everything. Product, support, marketing, problem solving. Stress will humble you fast.

Stay consistent.

Stay focused.

Results eventually respect effort.

Inspired by Pavel Durov’s journey building Telegram and VK.

What’s your budget? I can build you this.

And because someone will replay with use Claude Code. You can try that first then let’s talk.

Give me a figma design.
And I'll turn it into a fully fledged app.

Yes, that's the magic I've been practicing 😅.

People say fintech is saturated.

I know say they mean payments. but payments is one layer.

Here’s what fintech actually looks like 👇

you’re running away from computer science because of ai.

I’m going all in - we’re not the same.

[ハセン حسن @hasen_95dx]

Web programmers pretending to be yearning for the pre-AI era are liars and fakers.

You were not allowed to actually program anything. You could not even implement a date picker.

Everything has to be through libraries and frameworks.

You just wrote glue code.

The problem here is marketing. I bet such platforms exist on Github and Gitlab. In marketing you will be competing with Uber which is willing to take a $5bn loss per year.

This might be the perfect gauge of whether Kenyan tech on X can actually go beyond just theory to implementation

There have been notions of techies on this app being great at criticizing, debating and sharing theories, but with very little to show for it

Maybe this is the test.

ETA prediction, fraud detection, surge pricing, supply forecasting, and live operations dashboards.

The enhanced games proved something. Doping will not make you better. Doped up athletes lost to athletes that did not dope. This is the same case in tech: Using llms wont make you as good as someone who has the hunger and took the time to build their skills.

Guys.

Can we do opensource cab hailing services to rival Uber? India did a similar thing.

The reason why I think we can win, is that, we’ll not be profit driven like Uber.

We take as little as possible. It could b subscription based or a very modest take per trip. Enough to run the services and maybe fund a co-working space.

Another angle I’m seeing is that, it could give an opportunity to new devs to get a hands on experience. This could be SDE, support, analytics etc.

Just some crazy shower thoughts. Just a conversation.

@mureithi_me Thanks for the feedback.

I'm going to add some code snippets in the article 🫡

Recruiters, if someone has more than 5 years of experience, the tech stack should not matter much.

Drop me in a Django codebase, and I'll find my way. It will be slow at first, but I'll get it. I won't enjoy it, but I'll do.

There is this side of software engineering that many people rarely talk about - consultancy software.

Not every developer is building the next TikTok or AI startup. Some are building and customizing systems businesses already depend on every day.

Software like:

SAP
Oracle NetSuite
Microsoft Dynamics 365
Odoo
Salesforce
Zoho CRM
QuickBooks
Sage
Tally ERP
Workday
BambooHR
Moodle
OpenMRS
ERPNext
Shopify
WooCommerce
Magento
HubSpot
ServiceNow
Jira
Freshdesk
Power BI
Tableau
SharePoint

A huge part of software engineering is consultancy - implementing, integrating, customizing, automating, training users, building APIs around these systems, and maintaining them for organizations.

You can actually learn these platforms and build an entire career around them.

Most people only focus on startups and flashy apps, yet consultancy software powers companies, banks, hospitals, schools, NGOs, and governments every single day.

Why didn't you stop...👨‍💻

Part of why I love programming is that even we programmers use tools that are being built themselves, like your IDE.

It's a continuous process for everyone in the space.
