Speaking with French people in a business setting is so funny
They be 48yo and they’re still asking peers what uni they went to
98% of them peaked in college so they feel obligated to tell you within the first 10 minutes of meeting them that they went to Polytechnique, ENS ULM or HEC
What you accomplished since literally doesn’t matter because you attended a top school so you’re part of the « elite »
I find it so pathetic
Perhaps your country would be doing better if you were proud of your accomplishments the same way you’re proud that daddy paid for HEC
Anyways
Sorry I am done venting I just had the most cringe call of my life I had to let it out

Building a SaaS in Cameroon 🇨🇲 means facing the ultimate test: payment fragmentation.
Orchestrating Mobile Money APIs, handling failed webhooks...
Delivering a seamless experience is nothing short of a high-wire act.
Huge respect to the local startups. For now, I decided to move without Mobile Money payments 🥲, hoping we will see a standardization one day...
When will that even be?

Ngl, totally get people staying this long at companies like Paystack when you see how limited our ecosystem is with top-tier employers. We don’t even have up to 5 interchangeable companies in this country offering the same salary band for one to want to leave such stability lol

“10 years at Paystack” Commot make other people see work nauuuu.

If you are a software engineer "experiencing some degree of mental health crisis", now hear this, because I've been coding for 50 years since the days of punched cards and I have a salutary kick in your ass to deliver.
Get over yourself. Every previous "programming is obsolete" panic has been a bust, and this one's going to be too.
The fundamental problem of mismatch between the intentions in human minds and the specifications that a computer can interpret hasn't gone away just because now you can do a lot of your programming in natural language to an LLM.
Systems are still complicated. This shit is still difficult. The need for people who specialize in bridging that gap isn't going to go away.
As usual, the answer is: upskill yourself and adapt. If a crusty old fart like me can do it, you can too.

I don't know why this week became the tipping point, but nearly every software engineer I've talked to is experiencing some degree of mental health crisis.
