God. I need a win!!!!🤦🏿🤦🏿

@UkeJerry I hope it lasts

Timeline was a huge mess before this fix

@0xkasana do you have other resources you could point me to??

@codeX_james Im glad

today's class: How to create a hook..

@0xkasana thank you so much. this will help alot

@codeX_james I have prepared my own. Yes def I can share. Here are all the basics you need to read. #s/b/01-hookathon%2F02-learn-the-basics" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">harshkas4na.github.io/markdown-kindl… This is a website I build myself to be able to read notes I ask Claude to prepare for me.

@0xkasana Okay, what articles are you reading, mind sharing??

@codeX_james I will do the same. I will first read some articles then go to the video.

One of the approaches I've adopted for building products and participating in hackathons these days is making sure I genuinely enjoy what I'm building. That way, I know I'm not just building to win I'm building to improve my skills and become better at product development. That was exactly what happened during my last hackathon. Despite not winning any technical track, it didn't hurt as much because I know how much fun I had and how much knowledge I gained during the Cook-Off.

For all software engineers. Especially my guys in 🇳🇬. The new meta is building an audience and serving them with products they actually need. I know a lot of us just want to stay behind the keyboard, write code, and make money. I used to think the same way. But that era is changing. Today, almost anyone can build software with AI. Building better software is still a skill but the barrier to entry has dropped dramatically. That means writing code is no longer enough. If you want to stay ahead, you need distribution. You need people who know what you care about, trust your perspective, and are paying attention when you launch something. I’ve been building two AI products, and one thing has become very clear to me: For consumer apps especially, having an engaged audience is a massive advantage. Great products still matter, but great products with distribution win far more often. You can’t approach a software engineering career the same way you did three years ago. Come out of your shell. Share what you’re learning. Build in public. Teach. Help people. Find a niche you genuinely care about, and keep showing up. The code gets people to stay. The audience gets them through the door.

@michvista09 😂😂😂

Might need to pause these hackathons for a bit Vibe-coding dey give me headache I reallyyyy need a job/gig

@jbmillenial Show me any lapo baby Wei get cat.

Because I carry cat, these park people think say I be nepo baby😭😭

@Vasco_Dayigil 😂😂 nice one ma helper,

@codeX_james I used to pray for times like this my idolo 😭🤲

X suddenly feels unique and has a very better user experience.. A very welcome improvement.

One brutal lesson I have learnt in life is this: You either evolve or get left behind. Life never waits for anyone. Eras come and eras go. The only people who survive are those who adapt. There was a time when owning a cybercafé in Nigeria was a goldmine. Then smartphones arrived, mobile data became cheaper, and accessible. An entire industry was wiped out. Today, we are now experiencing an AI boom. As AI reshapes the job market, people who fail to adapt risk being left behind. To keep up, you must learn how to use AI. Roles are already shifting from IT Project Manager to AI Project Manager. Evolve or get replaced. The world has no sympathy for people who refuse to evolve. A rigid society is never going to grow. The world rewards movers and adapters. It doesn’t owe you relevance. You’re not changing. The world is, and it expects you to evolve with it. Are you evolving or getting left behind?

@Shimeson_Enoch i so much love it. i hope it last.

@codeX_james Bro, feels so cool man.

It feels refreshing seeing tweets from folks I followed way back during the 2023–2024 build-in-public era. My X feed is finally starting to feel relatable again.

@rukky_nate So refreshing, now the tl looks sane

Can’t believe I’ve started seeing people’s tweets again after not seeing them for the last two years plus. I hope this new algorithm update lasts for a long time. Everybody can now see everyone else’s tweets. Engage others and be engaged with as well.

Question for people who are shipping products end-to-end through vibe coding, despite not having technical knowledge in any domain (frontend, backend, smart contracts, etc.): How are you doing it? Yesterday, I tried vibe coding a product outside my area of expertise. I got stuck, became frustrated, and eventually had to abandon the project. I'd genuinely appreciate any tips, workflows, prompts, tools, or learning resources that helped you bridge those knowledge gaps. What's your process?

Whatever Nikita and team did to fix the for you page and mutuals thing. It’s working like mad. This is the first time since 2023 my for you page (main page) looks sane and I can actually see posts from the people i actually follow. Wow.

Seeing tweets from mutual I’ve not seen tweets from in almost a year, interesting!

@zeekcodes Very interesting, I love the fix.
