@TheDumbTechGuy Someone told me to always confirm with the moon. In Nairobi, it’s 98.4% full
You can confirm with your locality. And do with that information as you please 😂

My opinion is there is no strict naming system in software. People just call themselves what they want, or what their role says. We even call ourselves engineers even though EBK may disagree with us
In other fields like manufacturing, a senior engineer is someone with high-level autonomy, leadership, and system-level expertise, at least 5-8 years of continuous engineering and visible transition, PE and other relevant certifications in their fields and has a track record of managing complex projects.

I love that devs are releasing their stuff more but when will this financial tracker trend die 😭

Only the main complex had that design though. Livi hadi Arthur haikua hivo
Saai naona the new one ikona four floors, I don’t know their plan
English
@_Briankorir Not sure if its a design requirement but our dormitories had windows that students could jump through. They were not higher than one floor. Which means even without the door open majority could escape.

@TheDumbTechGuy @ellashedesigns I think you should service it at least once in 3 months

@ellashedesigns You people clean your PCs?

That’s partly true. Both server and client have a lot of work in my view.
There are maps, notifications, background services, and adaptive UI that are needed on mobile. Optimizing maps for battery, network and memory on android is not a simple task.
There are backend engineers already working on apis and infrastructure. @nut3case is cooking something
As they work on it, mobile can use BFF to keep the work going.
The whole idea is to get started. And figure out things on the way.
English
On this, I decided to throw some stones
Spent today setting up the mobile client for Android.
github.com/musyokamuasya/…
I have done most of the Android architecture
If you can afford like 2 hours a day or so, we can build and push this product.
We'll figure out the rest on the way

Guys. Can we do opensource cab hailing services to rival Uber? India did a similar thing. The reason why I think we can win, is that, we’ll not be profit driven like Uber. We take as little as possible. It could b subscription based or a very modest take per trip. Enough to run the services and maybe fund a co-working space. Another angle I’m seeing is that, it could give an opportunity to new devs to get a hands on experience. This could be SDE, support, analytics etc. Just some crazy shower thoughts. Just a conversation.
English
For a start, you are making a valid point about figuring out the market and all. For someone building a startup, that would be the case. But this is not a startup. It is an OSS. I would request you to go through that thread I quoted, and some of your concerns will be addressed.
Second, most of us suffer from analysis paralysis. If you analyze the challenges of building a product that rivals any cab-hailing service, you will give up. The infrastructure, distribution, etc., will make the business not make sense. For an OSS, just get started and figure out the rest on the way.
Most OSS products tackle markets dominated by big players. A lot of OSS die, the same way a lot of for-profit products die. In this case, the best case is to get started.
I argued my technical choices with Sam because he asked technical questions. I shared project structure and architecture for the mobile client, and he wanted to understand why I made those choices.
English
@__ciox__ @SamProgramiz Want to rival Uber and the first thing you do is create a project and argue about the technical choices? Figuring out the market and other things can easily make 90% of the work, I would recommend some field work first to establish why other competitors haven't oudone it.

Unpopular opinion
I would only target iOS for mobile apps

@gnkalonzo @jrobah That binary view. I was addicted to binary view. Today I train myself to look at the spectrum instead.

I don't like how the internet is deliberately trying to make us angry for no reason at all.
Angry about the new electric Ferrari design - 99% of us can't even afford one
Angry about Lupita being cast in Odyssey movie - nobody has even watched the movie
....
It's unhealthy
English
@__ciox__ @SamProgramiz Yeah that's fair. I thought sharing logic would help avoid duplicating the same work on both sides. But i get the direction you are going for, i'd be down to contribute to android.
English
My bias towards KMP is when you have really cracked Android engineers, like Square.
Or when the budget is constrained, and you want a few Android engineers to do the whole mobile stack.
Or coz iOS engineers are quite few, and more expensive than Android engineers.
Or when you are doing a lot of logic on-device.
None of that applies to what we are doing.
English
@SamProgramiz You can come up with UATs
I was thinking you could lead the iOS team, actually.
English
@__ciox__ Perfect
I will try to contribute but your approach requires a lot of knowledge on architecture and libraries I don’t use, maybe I will just help with QA and testing feedback
