Getting a job in 2026 will be simple.
The same way it was in 2025.
Why?
Because the bar is ridiculously low.
For some context:
Simple doesn't mean easy.
And to be honest, looking for a job is a job.
(AKA it’s not easy* for everyone).
But I bet that if you ask people in your network or peers in your industry what made them land a gig in 2025...
You’ll find most didn’t just send CVs and wait.
They took initiatives.
Either they reached out with context, showed up before asking, did the work upfront, or made a bold pitch.
This is the game you want to play.
That’s why I like what @Tunde_OD said in his conversation with @Themmanuelfaith.
“Do things without being told. Take the initiative to solve a problem even without it being in your job description.”
Stop waiting for permission, be proactive, and show initiative.
I'm building a tool to help designers study code animations easily.
It's a chrome extension called CSS-INSPECT
Here's a demo of how it works.
PS. I'm open to feedback to improve this.
@UpdateVille Marrying a financially stable woman means you will let go of your ego and deal with your insecurities as a man! You will have to learn to lead by character and vision. This is what commands this type of women’s respect! They have money so you can’t buy their attention! Earn it!
How Big Tech Frames African Audiences As Intellectually Lazy.
African social media audiences are not “dumb” - they are being conditioned.
When Africans have to engage with western controlled information ecosystems, the engagement is never a fair one. Not in traditional media, and certainly not in digital media. It always follows the same colonial playbook of extraction and social engineering over any kind of meaningful conversation or useful solution.
The exploitative relationship between Western-controlled tech giants and Africa's social media audiences is often overlooked, but it shapes almost everything we see or value - and even how we understand ourselves. The low-effort, oversexualized content that has become recognised as the preferred taste of African audiences is not in fact an organic phenomenon. To put it bluntly, Western colonial tech monopolies are actively engineering African social media spaces into cesspits of anti-intellectual slop.
Africa must rise to resist this intellectual suppression by building information and communication ecosystems by Africans and for Africans.
Early 2025:
Techies were distracted by AI hype.
Creatives were arguing about AI.
Late 2025:
Techies are finally locking in.
Creatives are still arguing about AI.
I will NOT let that happen.
I’ll say it again. Your tools will get smarter.
You’ll be happy as a customer but you might also miss the WHY.
Your tools are getting better and faster because they’re getting AI-powered in the background.
While you’re fighting AI, we are implementing it to better our world.
