Hi twitter! 🥳
I just published my first article on @hashnode🔶and am excited about sharing it with y'all⚡️🚀.
The article is about how to force redirect your web traffic from HTTP to HTTPS. I really hope this helps someone out there!
Happy Coding! 😎

"I swear on my life and I swear in God’s name in whose Hands my life lies, that what I’m about to say is 100% the truth.
I received a “ we regret to inform you e-mail” from a travel agency saying that the sales position I applied for is no longer available because my sales experience does not match what they are looking for.
I hit the reply button on my email browser and said the following word for word:
“Dear Mike,
I appreciate your reply, however, I feel you are making a big mistake.
If you watched the 1976 movie Rocky, you’d know that Apollo Creed gave Rocky, an unknown underdog, a shot at the Title of the Heavyweight Championship of The World.
I am asking you please to give me that shot at The Title, and I - the unknown, will make you proud.
In closing, let me ask you the following question: What do you expect of your sales people?
To accept no as an answer and to lose the deal? Or do you expect them to turn that no into a yes and overcome that objection?
I am trying my best to overcome your objection and kindly request you to advise why you refused my application?
Allow me to understand your reservation, and let me know what I can do to overcome it? What do I need to do for you to accept my application?
I am waiting in anticipation.
Regards,
Nazeem”
Instead of mailing me back, five minutes later, I receive a phone call, and he says, “Nazeem, this is Mike. I got your e-mail reply. Come to my office to have a chat. I’ll give you a shot.”
I met with him and in his face I could see his eyes glow and he said my comeback was exactly the reason why I am sitting where I’m sitting now, and he never had one sales person come back to him with such a reply after they were rejected.
He then brought in his Chief Operating Officer, who spoke to me and she was also blown away by my poise and manner in which I conducted myself.
I was offered the job on the spot. .."
~ Nazeem, on "What did you say in a job interview that automatically landed you the job."
I find this chart very helpful:
• Green section: The model is underfitting.
• Yellow section: The model is overfitting.
• Orange section: The model is just right.
You want to be in the middle section. That's the right balance of bias vs. variance.

Ever since that video of Tinubu saying he would feed the youths with Corn surfaced, anytime I pass those women selling roasted corn, I dey always get PTSD. 😞😞
All of us at Rise, an initiative of Schmidt Futures and the Rhodes Trust, are devastated about the tragic passing of Blessing Jemimah Jones Akpan, a Rise Global Winner..
