Ayo 👨‍💻

My days of just liking and retweeting posts have come to an end. 🙂‍↔ Time to be more intentional with sharing and connecting here. I’m Ayo, a full-stack dev. I’ll be sharing some of my projects and learnings. I’m also open to exploring new opportunities. Let's connect! 🚀

The OG frontend skill file github.com/bendc/frontend…

@Victor_Webflow 😂😂

Y’all saying he shouldn’t have sponsored her education (his wife oo), meanwhile most of you are lowkey paying your girlfriend’s school fees and house rent too 😂. Clowns.

@Benn_X1 This is actually true

Meetings that were supposed to take few minutes would extend to 1 or 2 hours and end without any progress. Since it was a remote setting, some people will be literally cooking food and when they turn on their microphone to speak, you’ll be hearing sounds from pot. Or do I mention when I texted a colleague on slack and he was not responding on time and I had to huddle? Well, his girlfriend (I suppose) joined the huddle and told me to stop disrupting the movie she was watching on an official laptop. You’ll take your own job serious and try to have async conversations but global talent will tell you he went out to cut his hair and he’s not close to his laptop during work hours. You then check the general channel and he did not indicate he will be offline for a few minutes. Shey na so global talent dey behave? Or is it the lamba during standup?

@SuDevelopers @honour_can_code Must be coming from a novice Frontend Engineer who haven’t worked on a solid project. I’m a Frontend Engineer and i can do little to average stuffs on backend, i dare not say backend is easy, or even say Frontend is easier, both are hard depending on the level of project

@honour_can_code I don't want to hear any FE developer say backend is easier ever again. Only a frontend developer will say they'd build an e commerce in two weeks because they can't see beyond the UI.

No you cant!!! unless you will rebuild the: jumia eccom site, vendors platform, jumia Pay, jumia Food, Jumia Ads, the affliate portal, realtime delivery tracking, supply chain system tracker, jumia agents portal, jumia riders app, jumia Travel

@juiceboy_of_abj @akinkunmi 😹😹 leave them nau Even the AI go vex at some point by the time prompting won kpai am

@akinkunmi Omo This thing long oo😂😂 Firstly you need atlast 1 week to plan and pity urself before you start

If you can build Jumia in 2 weeks, I'll pay for your next Codex Plus/Pro subscription. Remember, your goal is to build Jumia, not an e-commerce website. So you have to build the user-facing platform, ad system, dispute resolution, delivery system, seller hub, affiliate platform, and all the systems that work together to make Jumia Jumia. You have till 14th May.

@akinkunmi Talk is cheap truly lol If you have worked on a large complex system, you will know handling edge cases for couple of functionalities alone can swallow that 2 weeks and you will still fail 😂😂

@_hxmmed So relatable 😂

I’ve probably setup sshkeys on a server a 100 times but for some reason, I have to google/ask AI each time I need to do it again.

@__abdulqudus @iamAbiodunAA I was going to say this. Submitting to Apple has always been the easiest from my experience, but you see playstore, too rigid 😂

@iamAbiodunAA My App Store submissions have been smooth, FinTech, real estate, and booking apps, unlike PlayStore I submitted one yesterday afternoon, got rejected last night, resubmitted and it was approved this morning. Still waiting on PlayStore

People will not understand why people announce like this when Apple approves their app. Apple are too rigid. I have one app that’s been with them now still on the final review for like over a month now since the last submission. Elon Musk made a tweet about Apple taking long to review apps too. M

@simplyteedavid @young_dizee @RoseMarvelous4 @Soulb411 Exactly! Anybody with solid experience will even know these tech stacks are build to cater for different needs. I do full stack but I have also worked on a proper custom projects on wp and i have done the basic ones as per client spec. Just look at what the client need!

@young_dizee @RoseMarvelous4 @Soulb411 Truth is: WordPress can be extended to build many complex things; but it’s not designed to be the foundation for everything. At some point, you stop building with WordPress and start working around it.

I just finished an interview….and the interviewer was saying Amazon, Jumia, Konga was built with Wordpress 😅 Companies handling millions of users??? Una really dey cap this Wordpress ooo

@teesoft @yehhmisi This 📌

@yehhmisi This sum it up "This person was not your co-founder. They were your client. Your role in that conversation was to understand what they wanted to build, evaluate whether it was technically feasible, explain trade-offs, and decide if you were willing to take the job."

Since you wanted me to see this here’s what I’ll say. No one is saying a developer should behave like a robot or never think about the business. But there is a clear line between contributing helpful perspective and positioning yourself as the person who gets to challenge the founder’s entire business model in a client meeting. This person was not your co-founder. They were your client. Your role in that conversation was to understand what they wanted to build, evaluate whether it was technically feasible, explain trade-offs, and decide if you were willing to take the job. That’s the professional boundary. When you start asking a client how they plan to make money and telling them they need to go back to the drawing board, you’ve moved out of the role you were hired for and into one they never asked you to play. There is nothing wrong with offering suggestions. In fact, good developers do that all the time. You can point out risks, suggest improvements to flows, highlight technical implications of certain decisions, or recommend features that might help the product succeed. But the moment you start interrogating the viability of their entire idea you’re challenging the premise of the work itself. The “I’m not AI” argument you’re going for also misses the point. Of course you’re not AI. But being human in a professional setting doesn’t mean inserting yourself into decisions outside the scope of what you were hired to do. It means knowing where your expertise is most valuable and applying it there. If you want to act as a startup advisor or business consultant, that’s a completely different role, and one that usually requires a track record, context, and a relationship where that kind of input is actually invited. Right now it sounds less like you lost the deal because you spoke about profitability, and more like you lost it because the client felt their idea was being dismissed by someone they approached to help build it. That’s a very different dynamic. When you’re hired to build, your strongest contribution is building well, advising where it directly affects the product, and respecting the boundaries of the engagement. Crossing those boundaries especially with people who don’t know you comes across as overstepping. I hope you listen. I wish you well.

@Tmzgroup @kunle_pata True! 😅

@kunle_pata True, I can relate to this cus I play piano, I can pick the key you’re singing even before having to play. I could be wrong some times but I’d be close in those cases.

During my SIWES at GTBank, I handled between ₦70m–₦100m daily. At some point, I could hand you 100 pieces of ₦500 or ₦1,000 notes without counting, and it would still be correct. Even today, I can still guess right most times. There’s something about consistency and precision… they go hand in hand.

@Udoonline5 @onu_slim 😂😂😭

@onu_slim That’s less that $1,000 in 2 years… What kind of life is he living ?

This guy earns ₦168,000 per month working remotely for a Naija tech. Because he works from home, he avoids many daily costs like long transport and eating outside, so he plans his money carefully. Monthly breakdown: Tax & deductions: ₦5,000 Family support: ₦10,000 Savings: ₦20,000 Investments: ₦15,000 Emergency buffer: ₦15,000 Personal living expenses (food, data, electricity, small needs): ₦90,000 Girlfriend & social life: ₦13,000 Total = ₦168,000 He does not borrow to impress people. He does not lend money he cannot afford to lose. He lives within his means. Every month he quietly puts aside ₦50,000 for his future. Over 24 months (2 years): Savings ₦20,000 × 24 = ₦480,000 Investments ₦15,000 × 24 = ₦360,000 With moderate returns ≈ ₦450,000 Emergency buffer ₦15,000 × 24 = ₦360,000 Total financial base after 2 years ≈ ₦1,290,000 Still supporting family. Still living normally. Still maintaining relationships. This is the quiet power of financial discipline. Even with a modest income, consistency can build a solid foundation.

@x07154 @folaoftech Na so 😅

@_Ayodev01 @folaoftech Abi no be so?

What life as a tech wife looks like.🤣🥰

@x07154 @folaoftech 😂😂 Bro!

@JOELENS_ Real! That was my first semester in OAU 😂

Kennyblaq 2020 was crazyyy bro And na paid show ooh. Even with the rain that fell heavily disturbing people in amphi, people still no go. They had to pause the show and bring down the stage set up because of the rain. Kennyblaq cried that day cos he was already frustrated. They reset the stage that same night after the rain reduced. Everywhere still full to the brim. That’s one show I can never forget on this campus

@STEADY__042 @Morris_Monye @kainejohnson18 Done chief

@_Ayodev01 @Morris_Monye @kainejohnson18 Mutuals?
