Day 1 Learning Backend (Python) I had to pick up backend even though I'm not done with frontend yet because of my IT. Today was more of an introduction. I installed Python, wrote and ran a few lines of code, and got a feel for how everything works. So far, backend seems a lot easier and more straightforward than frontend because of how simple it looks. Maybe, it's prolly because I just started today. Let's see how things go as I dive deeper into it.

I still remember the first day I went to learn how to code. I got there late, and by the time I arrived, they had already been learning for about an hour. I sat at the back, quietly watching everything they were doing. That day, they wrote over 20 lines of HTML, and I was just there thinking, “Ahhh… how i wan take learn all these things?” At some point, I genuinely wanted to give up. Coding looked so bulky and complicated, and I kept wondering how people were able to write all those lines of code without getting confused. But coding was part of my IT, so I had no choice but to keep going. Then, something changed. I started understanding things little by little. I moved from HTML to CSS and realized that I could actually use code to create beautiful and crazy designs. That was when I started enjoying it. Looking back now, it's crazy to think about how intimidated I was by those 20 lines of HTML. I've been learning continuously ever since, and I still have a lot to learn. But one thing I've realized is that coding only looks impossible when you're looking at it from the beginning. You don't need to understand everything today, Just start. Learn one thing at a time. Stay consistent. Keep showing up, even on the days you feel like you know nothing. To anyone currently thinking, “Coding is too hard. I can't do this”. trust me, I've been there. If I could start from being intimidated by 20 lines of HTML, you can start too. We'll all get there eventually. 💜 I'm rooting for everyone building, learning, and trying to make it in this tech space.

Every day, I just dey feel like say I no sabi anything in this coding thing. God abegggggggg, I still have a lot to learn. 😭

Day 92 & 93 of Learning React Short one today, but an important one. I spent the day making my Kronos watch website fully responsive across mobile, tablet, and desktop. I worked on the navbar, hero section, deals, blog, shop, contact page, and footer, making sure every section adapts properly to different screen sizes. Responsiveness is one of those things users may not notice when it's done right, but they definitely notice when it's broken. Getting it right matters.

Day 4 Learning Backend (Python) Today, I learned about Python's data structures: lists, tuples, dictionaries, and sets. I also learned how to store and organize multiple pieces of data and work with nested data structures. I built a simple student management system to put what I learned into practice.

Happy Sunday everyone Our idolos in the tech space should be organizing more real life events,not another coding marathon, not another Twitter Space. I’m talking about actual Sunday hangouts. Music,vibes, face to face connections. People meeting, networking, and having a good time. Pay an entrance fee, get your access card, and come enjoy the experience. We spend so much time coding, shipping, and locking in that we sometimes forget the importance of building real relationships. Tech is more than just sitting behind a screen fr. Community + business. Would you attend a tech Sunday hangout organized by the OGs in the space??? Tag someone you’d love to see pull up 👇🏽

@RashedatJ Rashedat wey sabi 💜

Productive things I did today as a software engineer. 1. Built 15 screens for a mobile app 2. Created 2 new web applications screens 3. Read for my next examination 4. Did maintenance work on another mobile app

Day 90 & 91 Learning React Today, I worked on the cart and checkout flow for my watch e-commerce website. The goal was simple, users should be able to select the watches they want, add them to their cart, and then checkout directly through WhatsApp with a customized message containing their order details. One thing I really enjoyed learning today was how to create a WhatsApp checkout flow without needing a backend. React Context also made managing the cart state across different components much easier. Building projects really is one of the best ways to learn.

@c_aulli No bro, it's a kernel.

@Oc_paschal_code It is na

Is Linux actually an operating system???

@Tolux001 Been a while my bro

Back to work 💻

@Kiplongu 😹

Linux is a system.

@otf64017 Things like???

@Oc_paschal_code Bro I’m a python developer but there are some things that js can do that python can’t

I'm beginning to really like Python. It's so much easier and cleaner compared to JavaScript. But seriously, why is everyone choosing JavaScript??

@PatRick0225139 My tutor is using Python ( Django ) , so I have no option... you get???

@Oc_paschal_code I thought you would have gone for nodejs, anyways good luck 🤞

Day 3 Learning Backend (Python) Today, I learned about loops and functions in Python. I practiced using for and while loops to repeat tasks, and learned how to create reusable functions using def, parameters, and return. I also built a simple number guessing game to practice what I learned.

@OToluwanim58549 Best believe 💜

@Oc_paschal_code it only gets better.✨

Yeahhh.....picture of me last year learning HTML nd CSS. Since then, I've never stopped

@Chrizho_ Exactly buh GNU is also not an operating system!

@Oc_paschal_code No sir, a kernel rather. I think the main operating system is GNU

@ekemini58110 Perseverance 💜🚀
