I would guess that most junior developers don't know the difference between processor registers, static ram and DRAM, and don't know anything about CPU cache hierarchies. They are used to having huge amounts of compute power to hide their incompetence and lack of education.

The most serious country in the Middle East.
My first job as Nigeria’s supreme leader would be to get us sanctioned. 😂
Strong national character formation and a sense of independence often develop when a country with a large population, significant human resources, and abundant natural resources is sanctioned, especially when its leaders are serious.

Iran has been producing turbines for years, but this text tells you that no one except a few Western countries has the ability to produce turbines.

What exists between truly Third World countries and First World countries isn't a gap.
It's a gulf, a vast chasm.

Korean noise cancellation tunnels. Because people's homes are nearby, they are installed to trap vehicle sounds inside.

If you don’t have good steady inflow of money, this is a bad investment.
Many house owners are very hungry people. The house is their only asset

Why would you build a house to live in as a young boy? Rest of mind wan kpai you at your age wey you suppose de hustle 😭

A developer at work was denying using AI…
Meanwhile, I’ve seen him use it multiple times
I don’t understand why people lie about it.
AI is a tool using it doesn’t make you less of a developer.

So y’all code with AI but pretend not to?

Point of correction, sir.
That “tech bro” you mentioned? That one vexed me.
A real tech bro wouldn’t open his mouth to say something that embarrassing.
That egbon who made that Jumia comment is not a tech bro, he’s a cobbler.
It’s actually an insult to what Jumia has built.
Bayomi@SemudaraAbayomi
Some 9ja tech bros wants to build Jumia in two weeks…

Again, the only people who say that are those who have not built anything on a production server serving real customers in real time.
Titanium@akinkunmi
If you can build Jumia in 2 weeks, I'll pay for your next Codex Plus/Pro subscription. Remember, your goal is to build Jumia, not an e-commerce website. So you have to build the user-facing platform, ad system, dispute resolution, delivery system, seller hub, affiliate platform, and all the systems that work together to make Jumia Jumia. You have till 14th May.

A Nigerian fintech just lost ₦20 million to a fake webhook.
Attacker didn’t hack anything.
They just POSTed this to the endpoint:
{
"event": "transfer.success",
"amount": 500000,
"status": "success"
}
Backend credited the user. Zero money moved.
This is happening more in crypto payments too.
What every backend dev must do in 2026:
1. Verify webhook signature + IP + timestamp (not just event name).
2. Never credit on webhook alone always confirm on-chain + NIBSS.
3. Add rate limiting and replay attack protection.
4. Reconcile every stablecoin inflow against blockchain truth.
Crypto rails move fast. One lazy endpoint and you’re done.
Save this like your production depends on it.
Drop your worst webhook horror story 👇

I'm not even going to say anything.

On this Jumia Saga, hobbying, i name it after my daughter. I can't possibly build the business aspect of Jumia. But AI can build the tech part in 2 weeks, even without paying, this is day1, just wasting my time here, you don't have to mind. Its systematic approach not emotional. @echo_vick

250+ people have used Avnac.design just today.
Stay there and continue crying. 😂😂😂
Sam Ivere@hsprafrique
Yall be honest who really uses that AVNAC that this DUDE created

@akinkunmi Doesn’t equate actual usage.
Stop playing dumb, you probably know most of the traffics are bots 🤖 🤣

@prevpl1 @Heal_within96 No one siding without fake stats.
Go be a bigot elsewhere
English
@Heal_within96 Gee I don't know. Maybe it's the fact that blacks are so violent that 1/3 of American black men have a felony.
Or maybe it's because blacks are so violent that even black WOMEN have higher murder rates than white MEN
English
Maybe because violence people exist in every community. Why do you make it about race?
Kentucky Girl@Notwokenow
Just…..WHY?
