4 steps on how to make your dream career your reality.

SpaceX is actively hiring world-class engineers/physicists for SpaceXAI, even if you have zero prior experience in AI. Smart humans figure it out fast. Please send an email with ~3 bullet points demonstrating evidence of exceptional ability to ai_eng@spacex.com.

🚨Anthropic just showed a 24-minute workshop on how to actually do prompts for Claude. Taught by the people who built it. Free. No registration. No paywall. I've seen $300 courses that don't cover what they teach in the first 8 minutes. Watch it and bookmark it now.

@Paulechidi Lol okay.

Tell everyone the truth the 500k-1m band is primarily for bank managers and above then oil workers. That aside no 9-5 is touching that band.

@AirtelNigeria I am already tired with this generic response. From speaking to your support and no solution, to this kinda response, y'all should please do something about this. "We don't support our own", now look at this , how should I be encouraged to renew? Until I'm laid off?

@ClintonUfere Hello @ClintonUfere, apologies for the experience. Please be informed that you have been responded to via DM. Kindly check. Thank you. ^Gladys. twitter.com/messages/compo…

@AirtelNigeria at this point I'm done with you guys, it's been what! 3 weeks with you guys faulty network and yet no resolution, I can't be paying 80-150k for this poor service. One will call customer care and yet no resolution. Terrible terrible network.

@developerBolu this was me yesterday

see internet i dey use compete chai 😔

@EOEboh Absolutely, this is part of my criteria for using it in my codebase, especially making a project context so the agent will also be informed and follow your codebase principles

The difference between AI users who get great results and those who don't comes down to 4 skills: The 4D Framework 1. Delegation: making smart choices on when to use AI versus doing something yourself. You need to understand what AI is good at versus what it struggles with, then make informed decisions 2. Description: how to communicate clearly with AI systems. The better you describe your needs, the better results you'll get. 3. Discernment: being a critical thinker about AI's output. Evalute, verify, review every output. Don't just accept everything AI tells you at face value. 4. Diligence: being responsible and ethical in how you use AI. This includes protecting sensitive information, respecting copyright, and considering the broader implications of your AI use Together, these four skills help you be "AI fluent". You start using AI as a powerful tool while staying in control and maintaining quality.

@peculiarerhis @LordBinary_ Ahhhh is that really a function name, I think a pragma comment would be more useful than this lengthy name sha

@LordBinary_ Thank you, Femi!!! This made my day ❤️. The polygon feature will forever be one of my proudest works. And the answer is no 😭😂. A function called calculateAndAssignOptimalRiderBasedOnLocationAndAvailability needs no explanation to anyone looking at the code 😁😁

One of the best decisions I’ve ever made was hiring you, Pecs. You’re easily ranked as one of the top engineers I’ve worked with in my entire life. My fondest memory of you was the work to switch from delivery radius to polygons. So much reading, thinking and testing. You demo-ed that thing and omo, I knew my work was done on delivery engineering. Second one was your algorithm to rank display that you literally told me. “Femi, don’t make changes to the db on my tables without my permission. My code takes care of this” 😂. Working with you has been such a thrill! Will you ever reduce the length of your function names though? 😔

@Chimmy1990 @MrsBu_ Lol I'll say amen to your prayer as well since you don't have sense

@MrsBu_ So you work, cook, taking care of kids, and still pay the bills for 20 years? May this kind of life never finds me. 🙏🏻🙏🏻

I’m a wife, mother, daughter, sister, professor, business owner & I own some shares in different companies. I work, go home, cook, take care of our kids, I meet Hubstar’s sexual needs & help pay our kids’ car insurance & health insurance. Married 20 years PLUS!

Have you tried Ofetch

@developerBolu 🫠

@ClintonUfere my senior engineer please 🧎🏽

omooo collaborating with your be engineer locally >>> raise an issue, be engineer fixes almost immediately, push, i pull and continue work.

@ChikaodinakaJO @mycovergenius Has it been activated now?

@mycovergenius Hello, I subbed for a Flexi plan yesterday and it has not been activated till now

We know you’ve kicked off the year with a bang, and we’re here to make it even better with quality insurance and solid infrastructure to support your business and deliver a great experience for your employees and customers. Let’s hit the ground running together —and keep running! 😉🚀

In 2021 Tunde got his first developer job in Lagos small fintech, 4 man team, big dreams his boss handed him a laptop on Monday and said “the codebase is on GitHub, you start today” Tunde opened his terminal and froze he had never used Git in his life Bookmark this. RT the first tweet so your developer friends see it too

I bet you to search for one tech company on RecentRaise ( @recentraise ) and see if you won't find their fundraising details there. What started as a small open source project is growing to become the global repository. Right now, I doubt if there's any Nigerian company you'll search on RecentRaise that you won't find their fundraising info here, include their investors, amount and founders. This is going to be a global fundraising repository and I'm happy that we're covering fundraising announcement country by country. This small vibe project that should have been a GitHub repo now has over 60 contributors.

Duolingo has over 100 million users, but less than 10 percent of them pay for premium. That small percentage is still enough to scale the company and keep it profitable. They understand that if they aggressively force everyone into premium,(mind you the most active premium users are from the US they have a better buying power) they would lose a large portion of their user base. So they keep the core product free, build habits, and monetize a fraction. Now bring that to Nigeria. Nigeria has low buying power and one of the poorest in the world. Disposable income is limited. If you price software like you are targeting the US or Europe, conversion will naturally be low. It is not that people do not want to pay. It is that the pricing must match economic reality. Affordable tiers, localized pricing, and flexible plans make more sense in a low-income market. The second issue is marketing. Many founders treat marketing as just posting ads or pushing content. Marketing is deeper than that. It includes positioning, branding, tone of voice, user experience, and how people emotionally connect with the product. If users do not relate to your product, they will not pay for it. There is also the customer journey. From awareness to onboarding to engagement to retention to conversion. Founders need to understand lifetime value, retention rates, churn, and how to nurture users over time. Without lifecycle marketing, you are just launching an app and hoping for miracles. If you do not understand pricing strategy, branding, user journey, and lifetime value, you risk building a product that only you use. Lifecycle marketing isn’t just sending emails—it’s managing the full customer journey: Awareness → Acquisition → Activation → Engagement → Retention → Monetization → Advocacy. It boosts retention, increases lifetime value, reduces churn, drives paid conversions, and encourages word of mouth. Nigerian startups often ignore this, focusing only on downloads, which makes scaling and monetization much harder. We are still behind, when the economy is better your app will grow and convert better. People will pay. But pricing must fit the market, value must be clear, and marketing must be intentional. For a founder in Nigeria to survive He needs a Good marketing team Good sales team Good business development team. That understands the Nigerian market. Thanks 🙏🏾

@Strategist365 @AdewaleYusuf_ I don't think you read to understand. You missed the point entirely

You manage dey chop food from plate, the person you hired wanted you to eat on the floor. After raising $300k, she assumed she was more important than the trajectory of the company. Maybe the founders accorded her God-level reverence for her to be bold enough to make those rules. Even fast growing startups making millions of dollars where everything is breaking weekly don’t entertain such rules, imagine one on $300k. What would she be operating in a fast growing startup with such rules. She was a very bad hire. That girl and her rules if allowed to continue would have sent you guys back to job hunting with your CVs in hand. Una for dust una CV when she finish operation 😂

Don’t hire an expert too early. It was an expensive lesson that almost cost me $300,000. After raising our pre-seed round (over $300,000), we felt unstoppable. Validated. Funded. Ready to “build properly.” So we did what seemed logical. We hired an experienced operator from a company that had raised over $30M. On paper, she was perfect: • Strong pedigree • Structured • Process-driven • Operationally excellent But we made one critical mistake. We were still pre–product-market fit. We were iterating weekly. Sometimes daily. Testing positioning. Changing messaging. Tweaking the product. There was no stability. And that’s where the friction started. She needed structure to operate effectively. Clear scope. Defined systems. Predictable workflow. We had chaos. She also came with rules: no work beyond 4 PM. No work on weekends. No after-hours email. And to be clear, she wasn't wrong. It just wasn’t compatible with our stage. At that time, it was just my co-founders and me. She was our first hire. We were constantly experimenting, trying to reach product-market fit. Despite having cash in the bank, we were still searching. Speed mattered more than structure. Eventually, we parted ways. No villains. Just a stage mismatch. Here’s what I learned: Early stage (pre-PMF) → Hire generalists. Post-PMF → Hire specialists. Scaling → Hire experts. Generalists thrive in ambiguity. They can switch hats mid-day. They optimize for momentum, not perfection. Experts optimize for efficiency and structure, but structure only works when something is already working. Many founders burn through their runway trying to install enterprise-grade processes in a startup that hasn’t found traction. Don’t hire for pedigree. Hire for stage-fit. The right talent at the wrong time can still be a wrong hire. Founders: what’s a hiring mistake that taught you something expensive?

The whole idea for a tool is to work and make life easier for the person using it, crying and making a noise that it will replace creatives is just click-baiting. If used right, it will favour you more than the noise makers.

@HushipJ @0xEngr_gudbee Lol and you also blame the government for being selfish meanwhile you're no different

@0xEngr_gudbee Your explanation is fine but thats your business my own is my interest you can criticise me i don't care

I rebuke This News IJN Amen !! Not now I'm starting to earn in Dollars Please Lord make $1 to be ₦ 20,000 Help us your children 🙏
