Two different advice from different realities and motive.

[DAVID OYIN @steezy10_]

If someone told me in 2019 that pressing laptop will make me plenty money in this life, I would have slapped them.

Omo learn a tech skill and monetise it massively.

all these mountains to climb will i everest?

African founders make sure your CTO, engineering manager, or team lead is architecting your startup with cost in mind.

This can make or break your startup.

Always ask: is this cost-aware?

[OLUCHI🫦 ( you have no funder) @Phatbabeluuu]

That Nigerian “smartness” is just rooted in greed and not being decent. It’s not something we should be encouraging.

[Mayor Of Ekiti @Ekitipikin]

Losing everyone can be the price of finding yourself.

Not emotionally prepared to log back onto the darkest corners of the internet tomorrow (Teams, Outlook, and Excel).

[Big Anas @Anas_dey4u]

Don't come back to me after the person who made you fold on me, folds on you.

[Peace @TimeyinI]

Between 2021–2024, a lot of those bootcamps really sold dreams to people 😭

“Become a Business Analyst, Project Manager, Product Owner,Scrum Master in 12 weeks…”

A colleague of mine was sacked after just 3 weeks on the job. His case was a mess, I was ashamed because he was from Naija’s like me.

No real understanding, just promises and hope.
Since AI entered the chat, I’ve barely seen those ads again 👀

Then every Tom, Dick and Harry became techie overnight 😂👀

It was a complete mess.

@asemota You just saved my life!

[Osaretin Victor Asemota @asemota]

Never get married because people are telling you that it is time to get married. Get married when you agree with the person you want to marry that it is time to marry each other. If you meet someone working on a timetable, run far away from them. You are only a means to an end.

[UGO 🇬🇧 @heismric]

I genuinely think one of the hardest
things in life is continuing to build
while emotionally exhausted.
But discipline is showing
up anyway.

[BAMMY @bammyydee]

Consistency my nigga, consistency

[Kush @kush_147]

A lot of your problems come from not putting people in their place the first time they try you

[Samrah @_Chemist1]

If you can spot PATTERNS in people you’re already playing a different game.

@bigbrutha_ Europe generally but job security is solid compared to the US

[Noctara @rumilyrics]

The smartest are quiet. The happiest are private.

[Frantz Kati @bahdcoder]

Sure. same problem with most people getting in the industry.

Learn all the skills you want.

You're still useless if you do not have a deep understanding of topics like:

- Version control & team collaboration
- Scale, system design, system architecture
- Product engineering
- Engineering cycles - Customer feedback to production software
- Feature flagging & testing in production
- Leadership, feedback giving and receiving
- CI & CD pipelines, PR reviews
- Analytical thinking, product management
- Product strategy, user experience, communication

And this does not even scratch the surface.

And no. You can't learn this in 1 year.
