@UfotUbon My girlfriend told me; the okro soup has spoilt, and I really got angry, and now I’m up by 12:01am without light, writing a susbstack with the last bit of battery I have.
Anyways, if you see this, tell me why you’re up!

@TosinOlugbenga I code and fast, once I am with my laptop and writing codes I forget I haven’t eaten most times especially if I’m battling with bugs

As a software developer who’s a Christian…
Do you code and fast at the same time?
It hasn’t been easy for me though, because coding takes so much energy and empty my stomach quickly.
Let’s have your view point…

@TosinOlugbenga For me I feel less hungry especially when trying to fix a bug, my whole energy is transferred to coding and I barely even notice that am hungry

Every successful businessman started by doing one thing. They made it successful, and that success gave them the leverage to venture into other things. This multiple streams of income mindset can put you in a stream of stress without actually building anything successful.

@TosinOlugbenga I agree with you, sir @TosinOlugbenga . A 9–5 job is not bad. We have successful entrepreneurs like Iyinoluwa Aboyeji of Flutterwave and Shola Akinlade of Paystack. Their 9–5 careers did not stop them from building successful businesses. The real issue is mindset.

Good one Chief,
But a 9 - 5 experience (not in a chaotic environment where you get home 10pm in the night) will give you leverage when building your own business.
You will learn business and management functions if you work in a corporate environment that requires chains of command structure.
I am speaking from experience, if I had pushed for a 9 - 5 first before entrepreneurship in my early career days, I would make a significant progress than where I am today.
I am back to 9 - 5 now, using the invaluable knowledge to building @GammsApp and I am already seeing the difference from my previous failed startups.

Thank God for freelancing I would never have dreamt of making 10 million Naira in a single year. And you guys want me to do 9-5 onsite ?
