When I have money, there are some hobbies I will like to pick up, star gazing, wine tasting and playing golf. Till then, need to lock in like mad.

Smelling toxic companies has become a superpower I’ve acquired recently. Since I registered my business here, I’ve been on the lookout for part-time consulting roles. I found an interesting one on Upwork last week and had the first call today. Midway through the conversation, the client asked if I had an extra 30 minutes to spare. I asked why, and he said he wanted to fast-track my application. “Nice,” I said. Then he mentioned that he had just saved me from two additional interview rounds I would have had to go through before finally technical interview and reference check with 3 of my previous managers. He repeated it like three times during the call, like he was expecting me to say thank you. Bro, we saved each other time, why should i tell you thank you. The moment a company starts acting like they’re doing you a favor by hiring you, that’s usually a red flag. The best companies understand that hiring is mutual value exchange, you are evaluating them just as much as they are evaluating you.

@domthegeek I know right

@thanipro Gosh... This is amazing.. I can't imagine the number of stuff one can do with this

@nnvictory001 🙂‍↔️

Already pushed 7 commits and it's just 10 am 😂😂

Someone should host a space about business logic in databases. I’d really like to spend an evening understanding the thought process of engineers, so I can learn one or two. @TosinOlugbenga, I know you’re a busy man, but help us with the space sir.

@varsilias @echo_vick I shared this on a different tweet withblue.ink/2026/03/04/bus…

@thanipro @echo_vick Genuinely curious, why do you say so? Is there a category of logic that should strictly stay in application logic? What are they?

I once worked with a senior backend engineer who believed that the strongest backend systems were the ones where logic is written more on the database layer than on the code layer. The normal if-else statement you would write to check a users balance, bro writes all that logic directly on the DB, there were triggers, database functions etc. Bro was literally coding with SQL. At that point I didn’t know SQL could even do all that. Bro would review my code then and ask me why was I writing all that logic in code when it could reside directly on the db😂. This was way before AI and bro would prefer to write every single thing by hand rather than install a package, he felt they were not secure. Bro uses a framework just to repurpose it and customize everything! At The point working with bro, he was almost 40. Man! I’ve worked with cracked devs, and I’m grateful for every experience that has shaped me.

@AdikeKizitoDev @echo_vick I accept

@thanipro @echo_vick You are the one that is terrible

@mypathseeker @TosinOlugbenga Would have love to go back and forth with you but fortunately or unfortunately, I have to start work, but I found an article that captures my thought on this topic, please give it a read withblue.ink/2026/03/04/bus…

@thanipro @TosinOlugbenga Thani, I honestly do not understand what you mean by bad advise. My 20 years of experience revolves around this implementation. Accident, I don’t understand. To put into perspective, take a little dive into Flexcube’s implementation, then come back to provide insight.

A skilled SQL engineer can build almost an entire backend inside the DB. That’s why some backend engineers see application code as merely a transport layer. PostgreSQL alone is practically an application platform now. When you build your logics in the DB, you are optimizing for: 1. data integrity 2. transactional consistency 3. performance 4. security This approach is good for banking and financial applications.

@TosinOlugbenga Okay, I think some people might misinterpret “db logic” here and assume everything should live there. I know triggers can be useful for audit trails, and stored procedures can help automate critical DB operations. But aside things like this, everything else should live in code

@thanipro Well, you shouldn’t put all your application logic in the DB. At the end of the tweet I specifically mentioned where using it is most appropriate.

@jayhemz Okay , I will tell them when next I speak with them

@thanipro that means you've worked with tailors

Went to bro's Github profile to see some amazing code, this one he posted his Github link on his bio. Na motivational speech first blind my eyes. Followed by tutorial. You should have just built an LMS to teach us bro. Please nau. You're really not there yet.

I hit my claude code limit on a max plan until next tomorrow, what am I supposed to do until then ?

Even more interesting, it connects to linear tickets for more context, checks that acceptance criteria, it also does a cross service check to be sure dependencies are not broken. Given time, I might throw in a knowledge graph so it learns over time and have good business context

Milking Claude in every way possible. Devin switched to paid plan, can’t afford it. So yesterday I set up a repo connected to my Mac Studio + Claude Max plan to auto-review all PRs across all 130 repos on TranqBay. Even if you open a PR at 2am, it gets reviewed automatically

@jola_adebayor Thanks boss, btw, nice product you are building

@thanipro Congrats, cheers to more!

Really surprised that I was able to register a company here within a month. With the bureaucracy craze here, I would have thought it would have taken much longer. While small, this is a big step toward my goals, and I’m happy it happened.

In the last months of software engineering as a career, I’m showing up every single day this year, so that in the future my son won’t ask me what I was doing when people were pivoting away. Son, I was grinding to buy myself out.
