@mandymatsinhe luckily for who? you or him?

My husband certainly didn’t match what my parents afforded me when he met me. I had a better apartment and car even. Luckily I gave him a chance. Today, 15 years later I’ve never worked a day in my life but he’s built a great life for us and our kids.

As a Backend Engineer in 2026 aiming for Staff, please learn: 1. One language deeply (Go/Rust/Java) Not “I can write APIs”, but runtime model, memory, concurrency, profiling, GC behavior (if any), and how to read stack traces like a native. 2. Data modeling and storage fundamentals Relational modeling, constraints, isolation levels, indexes, query plans, locks, deadlocks, migrations, backup/restore, partitioning. Most “scaling” problems are schema + query shape problems. 3. Distributed systems basics that actually show up in prod Consistency vs availability, timeouts, retries, idempotency, backpressure, message ordering, leader election, clock skew, eventual consistency, and what happens during partial failures. 4. API design and contracts Versioning, pagination, filtering, error models, idempotency keys, rate limits, backwards compatibility, and how to avoid breaking mobile clients for months. 5. Performance and capacity engineering Latency budgets (p50/p95/p99), tail latency causes, load testing, queueing theory intuition, connection pools, CPU vs IO bound, and capacity planning with real numbers. 6. Reliability engineering SLOs/SLIs, incident response, postmortems, alerting that does not spam, error budgets, graceful degradation, feature flags, circuit breakers, bulkheads. 7. Observability like a pro Structured logs, metrics, tracing, correlation ids, RED/USE metrics, sampling strategies, and how to debug “it is slow sometimes” without just guessing. 8. Security fundamentals AuthN/AuthZ, least privilege, secrets management, token expiry, OWASP basics, SSRF, injection, secure defaults, audit logs, threat modeling for your own services. 9. Messaging and async systems Kafka/Rabbit/SQS semantics, at-least-once vs exactly-once (and why “exactly once” is mostly a marketing term), consumer groups, retries, DLQs, replay, dedupe. 10. Caching with correctness Cache invalidation strategies, TTLs, stampede protection, read-through/write-through, negative caching, and when caching makes bugs harder than latency. 11. Infrastructure literacy Linux basics, networking (DNS, TCP, TLS), containers, k8s concepts, autoscaling, deployment strategies (blue/green, canary), and what your cloud bill is really paying for. 12. System design, but with tradeoffs Designing is picking pain. Learn to write down constraints, failure modes, data growth, and operational cost. Staff is judged on tradeoffs, not diagrams. 13. Codebase leadership Design docs, RFCs, review quality, mentorship, aligning teams, reducing complexity, owning a subsystem end-to-end, making boring systems that do not wake people at 2am. 14. Pick ONE domain to go deep Payments, search, streaming, identity, infra, data platform, etc. Staff engineers are “the person for a hard area”, not generic API writers. Stop hopping stacks every month. Pick a lane, build proof of reliability, and become the person people call when prod is on fire. That is Staff.

@akande_olu71304 @kofoworola__a Its over already, he'll be available for dragging from next season

@kofoworola__a He paid certain dues, when it’s over we will revisit his issues

Caicedo is the most pampered Chelsea player btw.

Joao is just too awfully slow for a Brazilian

Call me a fake fan but I’d rather have no european football next season over being in the conference league again.

@HEIS_CFC_1 @Stilldadaboi You no wise

@Stilldadaboi How many times them don pass the ball give Palmer? Ehhh?

Palmer no good last season but at least e dey try to make things happen, but u see Palmer this season ehnnnn bruhhhhh 😞💔

This should be it for Gusto & Fofana at chelsea. Horrible players!

Mtcheww

consequences

@officialABAT you're a proper bastard

Today, I participated in the APC Presidential Direct Primary at my ward in Ikoyi, Lagos, alongside my dear wife, Senator Oluremi Tinubu, CON. Democracy is not sustained by noise, speculation, or borrowed platforms. It is sustained by citizens who show up, party members who believe, institutions that endure, the grassroots, and a political family rooted in the people. The APC remains focused, organised and deeply grounded across Nigeria. Others may gather around grievance. We gather around structure, service, and the work of nation-building. Together, we will continue to renew hope, strengthen our democracy, and build a stronger Nigeria for all. Bola Ahmed Tinubu President Federal Republic of Nigeria

@Islam435 bloody liar

Sharia protects the poor. The orphan. The widow. The weak. That is not barbaric. That is justice.

😂😂😂wth!

@CesarAzpi @Osasuna @OM_Officiel @ChelseaFC @Atleti @SevillaFC @SEFutbol @ChampionsLeague @EuropaLeague @fifaworldcup_es Thank you for everything 💙, #ktbffh

Dear football, Today, I want to share with you that this season will be my last as a professional footballer. After so many years living my dream, I feel it’s time to start a new chapter in my life. Being honest, even though I have been preparing myself for this moment, I found it hard to write this letter. After 20 seasons , many people have played an important role in my career. When I first kicked a ball as a child in Pamplona with my schoolmates, I never imagined the amazing journey ahead. I’m grateful for every moment: the wins, the tough losses, the challenges, and most of all, the people I’ve met and the friendships I’ve made along the way. To my teammates, coaches, and every staff member at all the clubs I’ve been lucky to be part of, thank you for helping me grow as a person and a player every day. Wearing the shirts of CA Osasuna, Olympique Marseille, Chelsea FC, Atlético de Madrid, Sevilla FC, and representing my country at the biggest stages has been a true privilege. Every moment has meant so much to me…

Oga nobody needs your useless submission in 2026. They keep parroting this useless narrative. Just hold your bar abeg 😭😭

@Michael00905301 @SteveNdukwu You cant read?

@SteveNdukwu This was not your previous stand. I don't think there are any airlines that will not allow you to use your phone. The instruction is that, you need to put your phone in flight mode, whenever the flight is ascending or descending, after the, you can do whatever u want ur gadgets

I am on a plane in Europe, cabin crew told us to connect our phone to internet for free and use it … But in Nigeria I am always told to switch of my phone… Can Someone explain this to me like I am a 5 year old child?

this delap is a shitty player

I’ve spent the past couple of weeks building Looters: a public archive of Nigerian political corruption since the 1990s. Governors, ministers, shell companies, Swiss accounts, the Jersey trusts, — one searchable graph. You too can connect the dots: 1000reasons.vote/looters
