Senior intern

I'm building something to help software engineers learn and up skill in system design. Follow and RT if you be interested.

Anyway, I’ve update my main website stanleymasinde.com to better reflect my current career status.

@RizwanHamisi @PyconKenya Django was my first framework for building fullstack application. It's well architecture and I like it from day one.

@PyconKenya please welcome this new member of the python community. I thought python was a child’s play, having activity interacted with python for last 2 months at prod levels. All i can say is whoever designed django and all its ecosystem of libraries. Did a very good job.

Auto-scaling is just a way to turn a performance problem into a cost problem without fixing either one.

Add loading skeleton on your frontend will not make your server fast. You're just fooling your users. But it's good ux practice.😂😂

Someone is trying so hard to hack my server. But why? I'm seeing this today. I don't know when this was happening. I got some work for the weekend.

I’ve added Umami analytics to my website StanleyMasinde.com after years of staying away from analytics because providers like Google analytics do not value privacy. The current umami doesn’t follow users around and it’s self-hostable. I can get insights about my website without selling out my visitors to big tech. I’ll later self host it. Especially since I want to start doing this for clients.

Microservices should talk to each other only via queues. If a microservice failure leads to your system failure, you’re doing it wrong. If you don’t have the skills to design such a system, make a monolith. And if you can’t design a scalable monolith, read a fucking book.

@gregorytechKE We keep pushing

ndo an international company wanatuma rejection. twende next

Just use agent skills instead of mcp. I have done the research for you so you don't have to

The funny thing about the whole "AI Coding" thing is people saying the code is built on a bad foundation. Have you guys ever inherited a codebase written by humans and just sighed? Humans wrote equally terrible code if not worse. Bad code has been here before AI.

@shadrac_matata @StanleyMasinde_ soon we'll be back to the old good stuff

Traditional devs are cooked.

Agent skills vs MCP: MCP (Model Context Protocol) standardizes access to external tools and data while Agent Skills standardize procedural knowledge and workflows. Pro tip 👉 review community skills and prefer verified publishers to protect yourself from security risks.

Don't deploy on Fridays. Deploy on Saturday or Sunday instead.

@Kim_Eric_ tuma kwa hii number yangu nikuconnect😂

Nini mtu anaeza fanya akupate?

@_njoroge_dennis @AnyunguWanyungu Thanks bro. Wekeni votes nipewe hii monitor

@isaacmain3 @AnyunguWanyungu Senior intern apewe

Giving out this Monitor to a Kenyan STUDENT or INTERN who can quickly share something great they built. They should be in Tech and preferably a Tech Bro 😎. This is the HP E243 monitor. This is an affordable monitor and therefore no extreme criteria will be used.

i’m long on open source models. everything else feels temporary

Don’t Push to Production on Friday.

@_mpekethu_ Jambo daktari angalia dm. Tunaelekea 100 na hata huview

Mtu anitolee huyo wa white kwa background😭🤲🏽

@1960dude @shadrac_matata Congrats man.

Ipo siku. Baby steps.

@kennedy_odh @wamweaaa Monorepo comes in handy when you have multiple apps which have shared UI, types, ... but also need to be deployed as independent application.

@wamweaaa Unless there's a requirement for independent deployments, different domains, separate teams, or different release cycles, splitting them into separate apps feels like extra complexity for little gain.

Building my first monorepo app with TurboRepo. What do you think it is?
