Quick introduction; My name is Ayomide Ayomipo, I’m a backend developer with hands on experience building secure and deploying scalable RESTful APIs. Tech stack Frameworks : node.js, express.js DB: NOSQL and SQL Let’s connect 🤝

Microsoft just banned its own engineers from using AI. The tool was literally costing MORE than the humans it was supposed to replace. They lied to you about AI adoption and now the whole narrative is blowing up: Microsoft gave thousands of engineers access to Claude Code six months ago and encouraged them to use it. Engineers loved it and adoption exploded. But then the invoices arrived. Token-based pricing means every query, every code review, every debugging session costs money. At scale across 100,000 engineers, the numbers became so large that Microsoft issued an internal order to cancel nearly all Claude Code licenses by end of June and force everyone onto their own cheaper tool instead. The company that invested $5 billion in Anthropic just told its own people to stop using Anthropic's product because it costs too much. Uber's story is even worse... Their CTO Praveen Neppalli Naga told The Information that the budget he planned for the full year was "blown away already" by April. Uber had rolled out Claude Code in December 2025. By March, 84% of their 5,000 engineers were using it with 70% of all committed code coming from AI systems. Heavy users were burning $500 to $2,000 per month each. Naga himself spent $1,200 in a single two-hour demo session. The company had even built internal leaderboards ranking engineers by how much AI they used. They literally gamified the spending and then ran out of money. Now look at what Nvidia's own VP of applied deep learning Bryan Catanzaro said to Axios last month. Direct quote: "For my team, the cost of compute is far beyond the costs of the employees." This is a VP at the company that SELLS the chips saying that using AI is more expensive than paying humans. Think about what this means for the entire AI narrative. Every CEO on every earnings call for the past two years has said the same thing: AI will make us more efficient, reduce headcount, and cut costs. The stock market rewarded every company that said it. Fired workers, stock goes up. Announced AI adoption, stock goes up. But the actual companies deploying AI at scale are discovering the math doesn't work. The MORE employees use AI, the HIGHER the bill. Goldman Sachs forecasts a 24x increase in token consumption by 2030 as companies adopt AI agents. Gartner just published a report showing that even though individual token prices will drop 90% by 2030, total enterprise AI costs will go UP because agents consume exponentially more tokens per task than basic tools. Meta built an internal dashboard called "Claudeonomics" to track which employees use the most AI. Amazon started pushing engineers to "tokenmaxx," their internal term for consuming as many AI tokens as possible. Both companies are spending hundreds of billions on AI infrastructure this year alone. And Microsoft, the company that bet its entire future on AI, just told 100,000 engineers to stop using the tool they liked best because the per-token bills got out of control. The companies building AI are telling investors it saves money. The companies using AI are finding out it costs more than the humans it was supposed to replace. And even the company that makes the chips just admitted it through its own VP. This is the gap nobody on Wall Street is pricing in. $725 billion in AI infrastructure spending this year across Big Tech. And the first companies to actually deploy these tools at scale are already pulling back because the economics don't work. What do you think?

I just feel some of you are just catching cruise here on x. So if a fresh graduate with a digital skill joins upwork and get a remote job that pays $2000 a month, he or she should reject it ? He or she should go and earn N100k working onsite to gain “experience” ? lol

I’m Amarachi, 25. I live in Surulere. I pay ₦450k/year for a room in a 3-bedroom flat. I share the kitchen, toilet, and fridge with two other girls. One is 23 and does TikTok dances at 2 AM. The other is 27 and her boyfriend visits five days a week. I’m a product manager earning ₦550,000 monthly. It’s good money at 25. Salary breakdown: Rent ₦37.5k/month + NEPA ₦20k + Food ₦100k + Transport ₦25k + Contribution ₦50k + Mum ₦70k = ₦302.5k. Left with ₦247.5k. I should be able to afford my own place. But a 1-bedroom in Surulere costs ₦1.2M/year (₦100k/month). I have ₦900k saved and am ₦300k short. My friends: Aisha japa’d to Canada. She pays £1,200 for a 1-bed and complains. Tomi got married at 23, lives in Ikeja, and posts “my husband’s house.” Chioma is 26, still with roommates, and just got promoted. My mum calls weekly: “Amarachi, 25 and you’re still sharing a toilet? Your mates are married.” In March, my 23-year-old roommate’s TikTok friend used my pot without washing it. I fought. The other girl said, “If you don’t like it, pack out.” I checked my bank: ₦900k. Rent: ₦1.2M. Peace: ₦0. In May, I moved into a ₦600k/year self-contained apartment in Gbagada, still in Lagos, 25 minutes from Surulere. New breakdown: Rent ₦50k/month + NEPA ₦18k + Food ₦150k + Transport ₦20k + Mum’s upkeep ₦80k = ₦318k. I keep ₦232k/month, save ₦150k monthly, and use the remaining ₦82k for other expenses. The flat is small with no balcony. But my pot is mine. My toilet is mine. No boyfriends visiting. No 2 AM dances. Three months later, I posted a video of myself in the room. Chioma DM’d: “I’m moving out next month. Please send me the agent’s number.” Tomi commented: “My husband’s house is sweet, but this looks like freedom.” Aisha: “I’d trade my £1,200 flat for this.” My mum didn’t mention marriage for two months. She only said, “At least your pot is safe now and you own your toilet.” I still go to work in Surulere, 25 minutes by bus. But I come home to silence. I come home to me. At 25 in Lagos, you don’t need Lekki or a husband to be an adult. You just need a door that only your key opens. Everything else is noise. I didn’t wait until 30 to choose peace. I took it at 25.

Random thought guys I wanted to be an actress when I was little 😩😩😩😩

@RoseMarvelous4 You dey find trouble 😂😂

X analytics now has the number of active followers 🤨

@RoseMarvelous4 So us wey no dey active now we go cast 😁😁

It's a Brand new Day, Another chance: To improve yourself (mentally, emotionally and physically), learn that skill or improve your stack 👨‍💻, Increase your network and to chase the bag 💰💯. GM Techies and have a blessed Day ahead.

The developers who improve the fastest usually aren’t the most talented. They’re the most consistent. Coding is a skill built through repetition, problem-solving, and daily practice. That’s why consistency matters more than motivation. #programming

Saturday check-in 👋😄 How’s your weekend going? Coding 💻, resting 😴, learning 📚, job hunting 👀 or just enjoying the weekend? 😂 What are you up to today?

What nobody tells you about frontend freelancing: 1. you'll do more invoicing than coding. annoying but true. 2. first few clients will underpay you. take it for the portfolio, then raise prices fast. 3. no coworkers = lonely. find a couple dev friends or you'll lose it. 4. imposter syndrome doesn't leave. it just starts asking "can i really charge this?” 5. one good client feels safe until they disappear. always be finding the next one.

JWT is cool until your token gets leaked 😅 Because even after changing password, the hacker might still have access until the token expires 💀 So without Redis/token blacklisting, what’s the best solution here? 🤔 #Nodejs #JWT #BackendDev

Backend question 🤔 If a JWT token gets leaked and the user changes their password, won’t the hacker still have access until the token expires? Especially without Redis/token blacklisting, what’s the best way to handle this? @richsongocrazy @Akintola_steve #Nodejs #BackendDev

@thedigitaldami1 Hi, Mutuals?
