Good night, my fellow techies today was a productive day and I finish the last of my CSS newbie projects I picked. Check them out: GitHub.com/thecodingmob The live link of the last one: stats-preview-cardby-goody.vercel.app Am moving on to building my portfolio and learning more on CSS 💯

Day 30 Learning React So i will be building a Small Business Financial Management App that helps small businesses track income, expenses, and profit in a simple way. Many small businesses don’t properly track their money, so this tool will make financial management easier for them. I was supposed to start building it today, but I honestly didn’t know how to go about it 😹 so today was mostly spent thinking through the idea and planning how everything is going to work.

@Ogunleye2002 Well said 🔥

Being a Frontend Developer in 2026 Is Not Beans (Especially in Nigeria) Let’s be honest for a minute. A few years ago, everybody was shouting “learn tech, learn coding, six-figure salary, remote job.” Suddenly thousands of people rushed into frontend development. Today almost everyone knows React, builds with Next.js, or designs sites with Webflow. Now add AI tools like ChatGPT and GitHub Copilot that can literally generate components, fix bugs, and even write code faster than you can type. So the market today? Packed. You open LinkedIn and see: “Frontend developer with 2 years experience looking for opportunities.” Then you check the comments… 500 applicants already. Many Nigerian developers spend months learning HTML, CSS, JavaScript, then build the same things: •To-do apps •Weather apps •Netflix clones •Portfolio websites But guess what? Recruiters have seen 10,000 of those already. So the problem isn’t just AI. The real problem is everybody is building the same thing. The Truth Nobody Likes to Hear Companies are no longer just hiring people who can code. They want people who can solve problems. If you’re just another person who can build a landing page, you’re competing with: •thousands of developers •AI tools •no-code builders That’s the reality. So What’s The Way Out? If you want to survive as a frontend developer today, especially in Nigeria, you need to change strategy. 1. Build real solutions, not tutorial projects. Instead of another portfolio website, build something useful. A logistics dashboard, farm marketplace, lost-and-found platform, or tools for local businesses. 2. Learn how to make money with your skills. Businesses don’t care about React components. They care about customers, sales, and growth. 3. Combine skills. Developers who understand design, product thinking, or marketing will always stand out. 4. Use AI instead of fearing it. Developers who know how to use tools like ChatGPT will move faster than those fighting it. Final Truth Frontend development is not dead. But the era of “learn React → get job immediately” is slowly disappearing. The developers who will win are the ones who stop thinking like coders and start thinking like builders and problem solvers. Because at the end of the day, businesses don’t pay for code. They pay for solutions. 🚀

@Akintola_steve If I eventually venture into backend. Will you be my personal mentor🙏

@thecodingmob Yep

In 2019 a startup in Yaba launched their app on a Monday morning by Tuesday they had 300,000 users by Wednesday their server had crashed 4 times by Thursday their investors were asking questions nobody wanted to answer the engineer on call hadn’t slept in 48 hours all of it could have been avoided with one thing Bookmark this. RT so your timeline sees it too

Here’s how an X post goes viral and how the algorithm works: When you tweet, the algorithm first shows it to 15–25% of your followers. If they engage within seconds or a minute, the algorithm marks your tweet as relevant and distributes it to a larger audience. So, for a post to trend or go viral, you need to hold those 15–25% people tight. The problem? We don’t know who they are.

@Akintola_steve Amen brother

GM GM mutuals, friends and passer by, May we all have a blessed a fruitful day ahead of us all

@Akintola_steve @nuel_flow Congrats man🙌

Yooooooo! Look at what just came in! Guyssss! I made it 🔥🔥🔥 So grateful to everyone who made this happen. This was achieved in just 5 weeks. That being said, let’s connect aggressively if this comes across your timeline.

@elonmusk Act now, this for the sake of the lives of those innocent children😭

How many more children must die before action is taken? Enough is enough. Act now.

@nikitabier Wow, so we have days like that. Well you guys keep going and doing what you are doing.

I would like to issue a correction to my previous post: The biggest day on 𝕏 in history is today.

@AnalystAdekola @nikitabier I think you should know the answer by now and you should take this seriously.

@nikitabier Hey Nikita I hope you see this; For non-war AI content, like funny deepfakes or meme videos, are you guys planning similar disclosure requirements or revenue-sharing penalties soon, or is the focus staying mostly on high-stakes stuff like armed conflicts for now?

Today we are revising our Creator Revenue Sharing policies to maintain authenticity of content on Timeline and prevent manipulation of the program. During times of war, it is critical that people have access to authentic information on the ground. With today’s AI technologies, it is trivial to create content that can mislead people. Starting now, users who post AI-generated videos of an armed conflict—without adding a disclosure that it was made with AI—will be suspended from Creator Revenue Sharing for 90 days. Subsequent violations will result in a permanent suspension from the program. This will be flagged to us by any post with a Community Note or if the content contains meta data (or other signals) from generative AI tools. We will continue to refine our policies and product to ensure X can be trusted during these critical moments.

@LauraLoomer @nikitabier Wait they actually already do those vids, I only thought they were predicted.

@nikitabier This is great. Lots of fake news out there and these AI videos look so realistic. Hard to tell what is real and what is fake these days.

@nikitabier Wow, you guys are working so hard. But what are the odds that people will actually do this 🧐

@nikitabier Very helpful thread👌

After 10 years of building consumer social apps, I've decided to start exploring new areas. Building these products is an unforgiving grind—but I learned a lot along the way. For those embarking on this path, here's everything you need to know: TIME FOR A THREAD 👇

@Alphaoz13 Frustrating fr😅

Newbies two weeks into JS

DAY 1 OF MONGODB (backend journey) I’m so thrilled to begin another phase of web development BACKEND, i promise to stay consistent as i will begin with mongoDb🥲. Today i installed all i need to be installed and set up the environment. Real learning starts tomorrow, stay tuned. Adios👌❤️

@realtimstevens @lawyer_memes For me he owes me way more than that.

@lawyer_memes You owe me $350 for the 30 seconds I spent "reviewing this memo." Always be billing.

A junior said "Good morning" to me in the elevator. I checked my watch. It was 11:00 AM. I looked at him. "It's almost lunch," I said. "You're three hours late to the concept of morning." He tried to explain he'd been at his desk since 7. I interrupted and told him accuracy matters more than intent. I emailed his reviewer suggesting he take a CLE on time management. He apologized later. I didn't reply. I forwarded the apology to HR as proof of his inefficiency. Greetings are risky. He learned an important lesson. Never speak to a partner in the elevator. Unless spoken to.

@samo_skey @lawyer_memes He is just messing with that dude fr, how can he not know the distinction between AM and PM.

@lawyer_memes 11am ain’t morning?
