A Nigerian fintech just lost ₦20 million to a fake webhook. Attacker didn’t hack anything. They just POSTed this to the endpoint: { "event": "transfer.success", "amount": 500000, "status": "success" } Backend credited the user. Zero money moved. This is happening more in crypto payments too. What every backend dev must do in 2026: 1. Verify webhook signature + IP + timestamp (not just event name). 2. Never credit on webhook alone always confirm on-chain + NIBSS. 3. Add rate limiting and replay attack protection. 4. Reconcile every stablecoin inflow against blockchain truth. Crypto rails move fast. One lazy endpoint and you’re done. Save this like your production depends on it. Drop your worst webhook horror story 👇

Claiming Jumia can be built in 2 weeks exposes how little you know about building actual software. Most stuff we do are just a few lines of code. But the process of identifying, defining, verifying the feature is a load of work. You can deploy a site that sells stuff Not jumia

The Hubtel app serves millions of people in Ghana every day. I know this because I'm the PM who ships the features. Then at night I open Claude Code and build my own apps from scratch. The 9-to-5 teaches you what users need. The side projects teach you how to move fast. You need both.

Story time🌚 I recently took on a gaming app project… and I’ve never designed a gaming app in my life 😅 But you know how it is in this country, “man must work”. I was honest about my experience, but the client still believed in me based on my past work. No pressure, right? I entered exam mode immediately 😂When I say research, I mean proper deep dive, insights, inspo, patterns… everything. I don’t think I’ve ever researched like that before. Chaiii Had my first call, showed them the onboarding I designed, and they loved it. NO FEEDBACK!!! I was so relieved. (What God can do does not exist)😂 Now I’m about to start the main thing, the home screen and other key parts and honestly… I’m excited and slightly panicking at the same time because I actually don’t know what I’m doing yet 😭 But we move. Can’t wait to share it when I can. Good morning and have a great day!🫶
