After 3 incredible years and 1.6M students later, my journey at ALX Africa has come to an end.
It has been a life-changing experience, during which I made a lot of friends, worked with an incredibly dedicated team, and met so many talented students.
A few numbers. We scaled from a few thousand students to 1.6M students on our platform. Students loved it and many of them took more than one course: 4M total! For the famous #ALX_SE Software engineering program, our SE students made an average of 2,000 commits and our checker reviewed 180M of their projects. That’s 2B lines of code… and that was before Claude Code. They actually wrote these themselves (unless Kimba said otherwise :)
A big thank you to all my SE team mates, I am so proud of what we have accomplished, and I will really miss you all. Thank you to Fred for the trust he put in me and always supporting my crazy new and disruptive ideas.
Thank you to my students. It was an honor to work with you, watch you struggle but relentlessly move forward, no matter what, until you got this job. To those who are still struggling finding this job, keep pushing forward. Don’t let go. You got this. You all have worked so hard and I am so proud of you. You are the greatest thing I've ever been part of and I can't wait to see what impact you will have on the world. It’s your turn to shine now, and hopefully for some of you to give back to the community whenever you are in a position to.
I hope you’ll keep sharing the good news with me when you get this internship, this job, or when you launch your company. These messages are everything to me. In any case, I’ll be watching you from afar, and you can count on me to continue answering all your LinkedIn and X messages.
Can’t conclude without ALX Africa’s signature: continue to “Do Hard Things”. Remember who you are, where you are coming from, and where you set out to go. I’ll see you there soon.
With love.

@datamaxreg I requested transfer of shares several months ago, it was acknowledged but haven't gotten a response for months. What kind of customer service is this???

@alxseinnigeria Oh well, I'd just point out that the lesson is to not execute typescript code directly in a production environment as it has a lot of overhead (especially an environment low on memory)
Transpile first and execute the JS code.

Encountered one serious error today. had to sit down and write about it💀

Internships, unpaid or paid are more powerful than most think. You might not get paid in $ but you are paid in experience and growth. This is better than money. And for sure 100% better than sitting in your sofa complaining about not finding a paid FT role right after you finish your online program.
So to you Georgina and to your internship. Congratulations! #ALX_SE

I saw a job post the other day. 👔 It required 4+ years of experience in FastAPI. 🤦 I couldn't apply as I only have 1.5+ years of experience since I created that thing. 😅 Maybe it's time to re-evaluate that "years of experience = skill level". ♻
