@cjzafir Deepseek V4 Pro is unusable for coding

[isThisDerrick? 💙❤️ @techwithderrick]

I decided to test V4 Pro yesterday. I already had a checklist.

It took up to 10 mins still trying to understand the codebase. Deepseek models are very unusable for coding...

[Lex Tang @lexrus]

I tried having DeepSeek V4 Pro write the implementation plan, then asked GPT-5.5 to review it. It found problems everywhere and basically nuked the whole thing and rewrote it from scratch.

You gotta be kidding me 😂

@akinkunmi Kindly share the link once it's available for beta testing. I am interested in testing it out

"Jumia alternative, but better" Give us a break man 💔

[𝕰𝖒𝖒𝖆𝖓𝖚𝖊𝖑 𝕯𝖊𝖛 @emmannuel_codes]

Techies… you need to see this 👀

I spent 3yrs building this project 🥲 but I’m giving it out for free 💜 (Open Source)

A Jumia alternative 🫠… but better.

This project actually forced me to learn coding the hard way 😭 It taught me both the technical side and the business side of how platforms like Jumia & Amazon really work 😅

A brand even offered me ₦1M for this project… but I turned it down 🤧

Because this isn’t just a product to me… it’s legacy code 💜
Something that helped me grow and can help other developers grow too.

So you don’t have to stress yourself figuring everything out 😭

From:
• Admin dashboard
• Sellers system
• Customer flow
• Logistics integration
• Payments
• Authentication
• Order management

…everything has already been implemented 🔥

You’ll find the project repo here pls drop a star 💜🫶 — https://t.co/tBdNUWBRwm

... countrys' tech.

Why we have the foundation set already. We have servers here in Nigeria (even tho they aren't much). We have payment gateways and more.

We can't grow as a tech community in Nigeria is we don't depend on ourselves..

[isThisDerrick? 💙❤️ @techwithderrick]

Personally, I think we are relying too much on foreign tech for our tools and all. We have over 200 million people in Nigeria compared to US with over 300 million. We can do much more to make sure that tech we build in Nigeria can sustain itself without depending on other..

I feel so defeated right now.

I have no idea what to do. My card has been failing to pay my @Railway invoice, that's the card I've always used. I still used it to renew a different subscription on @spaceship today, and it worked. I reached out to my bank, but they couldn't really help. The card works everywhere else except Stripe (via Railway). Again, I have been using this card with Stripe since I got it many months ago. I paid for a new virtual card using Swyftpay just so I could pay the invoice, but that card failed too, a new, fresh card.

All my databases and API deployed on Railway are offline.

Users cannot log in to any of my products (https://t.co/0eFEWrZEMR, https://t.co/gQ6lsSIm9S, https://t.co/uLWCNLV6gz, and more). Only https://t.co/Ym2KxWFnZI is fully functional because it doesn't have a database and is deployed on Vercel.

I have no idea what to do. I've been on this since 7 AM.

I feel so sad.

People will learn the hard way

[Yegor Bugayenko @yegor256]

RESTful APIs may be dead soon. Instead, web services may expose a single POST entry point for a prompt. Internally, an AI agent may decide how to interpret it and what to do with the data and the database.

@akinkunmi Nice

[isThisDerrick? 💙❤️ @techwithderrick]

@juiceboy_of_abj @akinkunmi It technically still caches the info

[isThisDerrick? 💙❤️ @techwithderrick]

@devhammed @akinkunmi Exactly.

[isThisDerrick? 💙❤️ @techwithderrick]

@akinkunmi That's why I said I am still looking into it. In theory, it works. Practically, it might be different
