@stephen_olgade@Akintola_steve I currently work as a TPM where I manage loads of developers. Trust me when I say they rarely read documentations. Most backend devs will only just send screenshots of their endpoints when they are feeling generous 🤣
If you’re applying for jobs and not tailoring your CV to each role, you’re leaving responses on the table. Built a tool that does it for you. Also generates a cover letter and gives you interview questions based on the actual job. https://t.co/NghaOTTB8Q
Shipped a campaign + affiliate webhook system on a live multi-tenant SaaS today. 30+ tenants. 3 review cycles. 1 staging environment we had to build from scratch before we could test it. The code was the easy part.
TPM Life!
I keep hammering on this: the ability to thoroughly understand and discern documentation is a very important skill for every developer. A lot of engineering problems are solved faster when you actually know how to read docs properly.
I use Chrome for anything personal or work related, especially when I need different profiles. Chromium is strictly for localhost work. Firefox comes in when I need to route things through a proxy. Everything else is just for checking how my SEO projects are performing.
InfinityFree saved me a lot of time when I was starting out. It worked well until I began to understand how hosting memory works and my site went down. That was when I had to move to shared hosting. It’s still a solid option, but more suitable for small or mostly static projects.
Platforms to deploy your projects for free as a software developer 👩🏽💻👨🏽💻✨
1. Fly .io
Deploys apps globally across multiple regions.
Good if you care about performance and low latency.
2. Supabase
Backend-as-a-service with a PostgreSQL database.
Handles auth, storage, and APIs without needing to build everything from scratch.
3. Heroku
Popular platform for deploying full-stack apps.
Simple to use, but free tier has some limitations now.
4. Railway
Easy to deploy backend services with minimal setup.
You can connect databases and environment variables quickly.
5. PythonAnywhere
This is what I personally use for deploying Python apps.
I can write, run, and host my code in one place without worrying about server setup or configuration.
6. GitHub Pages
Lets you host websites directly from your GitHub repository.
Works well for portfolios, documentation, and simple static projects.
7. Vercel
Best known for frontend projects, especially React/Next.js apps.
You connect your GitHub repo and every push automatically deploys your site with a live URL.
8. Netlify
Great for static websites and simple frontend apps.
It also gives you features like form handling and automatic builds from your repo.
9. Render
Supports backend, frontend, and databases in one place.
Free tier can host APIs, but apps may sleep when inactive.
10. Infinityfree
Free hosting with no limit.
Mostly used for basic PHP or simple web project
Been coding and managing this product simultaneously for weeks.
The TPM hat and the engineer hat are two very different headsets.
Switching between them mid-day is a skill I didn't know I needed.
You’d mostly be working on core trading logic—simulated trade execution, P&L calculations, wallet systems, and integrating real-time or near real-time market data. Also includes building scalable backend services and APIs to support user dashboards and trading activity.
HIRING!
Looking for a Nigeria-based Laravel developer with experience building paper trading platforms for crypto/forex (CFD-style). If you’ve worked on simulated trading systems or anything similar to MetaTrader, I’d like to speak with you. Reach out with relevant projects.
@ItsAlexhere0 Depends, building for myself? I’d say nothing really since I’m responsible for all workflow, full stack. Building with others? UI and deployment. Managing builders? Still UI lol
