Google could have kept this algorithm private instead of open sourcing it. But they allowed everyone, including competitors, to benefit from their research. That is why I respect Google. If you did not know, this entire AI era became possible because Google openly published their transformer model research paper.

@heyOnuoha That’s a great idea Interested

I'm building a community of developers building in public, sharing resources and finding a safe space to talk about their ideas Let me know if you're interested in joining 😇

the skills that actually get you hired: • auth flows (oauth, jwt, sessions) • db schema design & migrations • caching (redis, cdn) • background jobs & queues • file uploads & storage • realtime (websockets, pub/sub) • forms & validation • state management • testing (unit + e2e) • deploys & monitoring leetcode won’t save you. this stack will.

@Akintola_steve Charge the buyer in their local currency to simplify the process and avoid confusion. Use a payment gateway that supports multi-currency transactions, like PayPal, Adyen, or Stripe. FX Rates, Settlements, and Refunds: FX Rates: Use a reliable FX rate provider to get real-time

@Akintola_steve Price Conversion: Display prices in the seller's local currency, but offer conversion to the buyer's local currency (e.g., Nigerian Naira) using real-time exchange rates. This way, buyers know exactly how much they'll pay.

Techies, let’s discuss. How do you build a global e-commerce system that supports transactions across different African countries? For example: A seller in one country lists a product in their local currency. Now a buyer from another country (say Nigeria) wants to purchase it, what should happen? 1) Do you convert prices on the fly? 2) Do you charge the buyer in their local currency or the seller’s? 3) How do you handle FX rates, settlements, and refunds? I need someone to design how this would play.

I can with this! 😁

@Akintola_steve This is a fact! Domain knowledge is key. Because you've developed other type of solution isn't a yardstick to jump into developing FinTech solutions without prior and proper understanding.

If you don’t understand solid system design and payment systems, don’t touch fintech apps. You’ll end up causing more damage than good.

@Akintola_steve Nice post. Although, sharding is the last resort if other approaches fail. Which in most cases devs don't have to implement it.

Database sharding… Most devs hear this and immediately think it’s some super complex concept only top-tier companies should care about. But honestly, it’s not that deep. If you’re building anything in Nigeria that’s going to scale, you should at least understand what it means. I’ll break it down very simply in the next two tweets below only

@Amospikins @ExploitforgeLTD I agree with your point. Security in software shouldn't be an after thought.

You Think Say You Secure? @ExploitforgeLTD

@folaoftech I swear, not knowing you're even job hunting just like them seff.

The tech world is just crazy 😂… everybody looks successful from a beginner’s point of view 😭

@Akintola_steve This is a no brainer that must almost come first. Thank you for sharing

A startup spent 18 months building a product for Nigeria launched it, got press, investors were happy, the team was proud then something happened that nobody in that office saw coming...

How your logs can expose your system to hackers 😅

@Akintola_steve Rolling everything back remains the best approach to it

+234 Techies and anyone sha 😂 let's discuss! Let's say you're building a fintech app, right... and a user sends money. Your DB write fails halfway. What do you do? NB: If your options are not here, you're free to drop your actual approach in the replies.

A Nigerian fintech startup lost ₦47 million in one night. Not to hackers. Not to fraud. To one missing line of code. Every backend dev in Nigeria needs to see this

Did you know Microsoft Word could do this?

@dotnet Nice presentation.
