Documenting my journey as I upskill in Software Development.

Fellowship: @learn2earnNG

[Stephen Adewale @shipwithstephen]

Getting serious about software development in 2026. 🚀

My goal: Go from basics to shipping production apps.

Over the next 24-months I'd be documenting the entire journey:

• My learning roadmap
• The projects I’m building
• The bugs (and how I fix them)

@e_opore hi

[Stephen Adewale @shipwithstephen]

@comfort_prima Hi. Let's connect.

[Stephen Adewale @shipwithstephen]

4 months of showing up, documenting, and capturing the moments that mattered between May and February. ⏳

Looking back, the timeline speaks for itself.
Slide through the thread to check out the highlights. The evolution is real. 🚀

@VictoryAshaka The dream of a boy child can become the reality of a man...

[Stephen Adewale @shipwithstephen]

Massive shoutout to @learn2earnNG for making this happen.

Fostering a space where we can upskill collectively.

​Grateful for the energy in the room today. If you’re currently learning Go, what’s one concept you’re still trying to wrap your head around?

Golang can be intimidating, but everything clicks faster when you build together.

Spent the day breaking down Go fundamentals with a room full of hungry builders.

There’s no better way to master a language than to teach it and see those "Aha!" moments in real-time.

@Emmy_denco @learn2earnNG Congratulations 👏

[Stephen Adewale @shipwithstephen]

I'm going to become a Senior Developer someday.

Now you can download and copy your art using the Goffiti website.

Added this feature today.

[Stephen Adewale @shipwithstephen]

Two months ago, I started learning Go.

Today, I’m taking my projects out of the terminal and onto the web. 🚀

What started as Goffiti (a CLI ASCII art generator) is now a fully functional web app.

Backend: Golang 🐹
Frontend: HTML + CSS
The Leap: Moving from local flags to a live URL.

Small wins lead to big systems. Check it out here: https://t.co/wQ86F9ycNe

Goffiti v2 is in progress 👨‍💻

I’m improving the core rendering engine - making it faster, more flexible, and easier to extend.

Expect better font support, cleaner output, and more control over styling.

Still built with Go. Still terminal-first.

Figlet who? Meet Goffiti. 🎨

My latest project was built with Go. It takes a string and turns it into stylized ASCII art directly in your terminal.

I wanted to dive deeper into Go, so I built my own FIGlet-style ASCII art generator.

🛠️ Logic: Row-first iteration & dynamic character offsets.

🔵 Language: Go

I facilitated my first event today! 🎤

It’s one thing to attend, but another entirely to lead the room. Huge thanks to everyone who showed up and engaged. Grateful for the growth and the opportunity to contribute to the community in a new way.

Onwards and upwards! 🚀

@isreal_temidayo This is so clean... Love ittt

Check out the SyntaxFlow here: https://t.co/2IH5Z4NefT

[Stephen Adewale @shipwithstephen]

I’m tired of "Tutorial Hell." 🛑
​So, to learn Go, I’m building something real from scratch:

​🚀 SyntaxFlow > A lightweight text completion and auto-correction engine.

​Think of it as a CLI-based mini-Grammarly.

​What it does:
✅ Hex/Binary → Decimal conversion
✅ Smart "a" vs "an" grammar logic
✅ Text transformation (Upper/Lower/Cap)
✅ Punctuation & spacing cleanup

​What I’m leveling up on:
• String manipulation & File I/O
• Test-driven struct design
• Clean code refactoring in Golang
​Building > Watching. 🦀💻

@abdullahiola_05 @hackclub Why make it sound easy?

You hosted an event with over 50 people who showed up???

Brooo>>>
