@Cafeonenig
See you in a bit!
@DannyCrypt
I see all that you do with the DC community Chief. Abeg....like ABEG in caps lock...DO NOT STOP.
Just Dey bless people dey go with those calls. Both trading and otherwise.
You’re making a lot of people happy and God no go shame you.
The orderliness is 💯 too.

@AdoraNwodo
@UchePOkoye
You would have been better off asking for better understanding because it’s either you didn’t read this or comprehension flew over your facilities.
The initial application phase for the Outreachy internship is now open.
@outreachy
is a 3 month remote internship for open source contributors with perks like mentorship, a $7,000 USD stipend and more to its participants!
Apply here if interested
Would you look at that?
Started the
#100Devs
cohort with 74 followers and I just crossed a hundred?!! Would you look at that? 27 amazing people who make the coding journey easier and it’s only been how many days again?
I want to meet more of you.

As promised, I wrote an article highlighting my top 4 React 18 features for the

The article is aimed at getting newbies comfortable with React 18 with an emphasis on letting them know real case uses.

In my house, even with a water treatment plant, when you fetch water and leave it for a bit, you start to see oil like patterns.
Changed kitchen buckets a lot of times because of brown coloration(probably rust) despite crazy rent. Can’t wait to move.

You came, you designed and now you’re illuminating the minds of those coming after you Oluwakemi. You were born to lead and were made for this.
Here’s to the wonderful work you’re building and the many lives you are going to touch in the coming years. Take a bow Kemz 🥂

Another important thing is changing the narrative of everyone getting into tech “only for the money”.
The gospel out there is get into tech and you’ll cash out.
This gospel is true but we seem to skip the caveat of “you go sweat before you make the money but e go choke”.

HOW TO FIND A MENTOR IN TECH FOR CODE NEWBIES.
#CodeLand2021

@CodeNewbies
@codelandconf
A thread 🧵
Before you find a mentor,
- Ask yourself what you want from the mentor.
- Set short term goals that you wish to achieve with that mentor. You can write each goals down.

Day 10 of
#100DaysOfCode
. I completed the BBC assignment from
#100Devs
. I also practiced a lot of active-recall and spaced repetition techniques with many notes. Shay Howe is one of the best resources out there btw.
@EniolaCodes
If I’m starting something new, first take a crash course video.
I then read the docs and practice what’s in them
Afterwards a full video to consolidate and build a project from what I have learnt
Finally fly blind and do it on the fly, all bugs to be read about on StackOverflow
I’m excited to join the
@ConsenSys
family as a Technical Community Manager. Looking forward to empowering the next generation of blockchain builders and shaping the future of decentralized technology.
Time to make magic ✨✨
I heard about
@dabit3
through a YouTube “meetup”
@hackSultan
organized some time last year.
@techgirl1908
@theworstdev
and
@cherthedev
were also on there.
I always thought tech was for privileged people but I recorded the whole thing after listening. Been inspired ever since.

I’m not the wealthiest ooo but I’m a hard worker and I write code and build software for people, I can refer you to our office anytime there are faulty systems so at least money fit dey come in for you. We are not tech bros yet but we gether Dey.
One minute you’re trying to look for something on your phone while being focused, the next minute you’re laughing and liking videos on TikTok.
That’s why I had to install the Microsoft To-Do and always turn off my phone when I’m trying to code.
#100Devs
how do you stay focused?
Building community starts with creating a sense of belonging. However, it is more than just a feeling of belonging.
In the context of business, it’s a structure for creating value.
To build an audience, you help people.
To build a community, you help people help each other.
@JesseOguns
@Risevest
First because
@DannyCrypt
shilled it on a low this morning and then I started a little research on it. Too much to tweet about but this is what first intrigued me before I went deeper
OK so we have pretty well covered what Abracadabra is, but why is $Spell valuable? Look at this chart. MIM volume has gone parabolic. Every single one of those MIMs earned between 0.05% and 0.5% in borrow fees +interest for $sSpell holders.
If you don’t know why your code works, you have no hope of fixing it when it breaks, other than sheer luck and guessing and magic.

Hi Meline. Tunnel visioning is best suited to help out in this case.
You are trying to focus on multiple things at the same, which is not a bad thing but can drain you really fast. Try spacing out these things one after the other over a period of months. Solid base over speed 🕊️

I built my portfolio website. I wanted it to be something I was happy to show people.
I will appreciate feedback and criticism as I hope to learn from them.
More JS projects and a new learning phase tomorrow.

Today, I deeply learnt about how to create a functional
#React
component and how to spot different errors in a React app.
I also immersed myself in a deeper understanding of JSX and understood the differences between
#HTML
and JSX.

Today I learned:
1. The three tenets of ReactJS components, nesting, reusability and configuration. I’ll be coding along and building a “comments-section” application to help cement that knowledge.
2. How to use the semantic UI and its cdn.

A thread 🧶
There are a lot of sharks in the world. If you hope to complete the swim, you will have to deal with them. So if you want to change the world, don’t back down from the sharks.
Nothing matters but your will to succeed.
The sun will soon come up.
Good morning
#100Devs
The job has me out here everyday learning new things so I can give more value and contribute more to the success of the projects I work on.
Do I like it? Yes I do.
Does it get tiring? Of course it does.
Will I keep doing it? Heck Yeah!!
Why? No one is coming to save me.
Everyone needs a person to believe in them. I don’t need to tell you how hard it is. But as long as the interest and grit is there, we should all do the best we can to support the budding engineers.
Go out there and be great.
Remember…Sic parvis magna. 🚀 🤍
Laptop received and I want to thank

You cannot learn anything new in the books or in life if you do not understand.
Understanding is like a super glue that helps hold the underlying memory traces together.

Stop trying to impress other people, rather, focus on impressing yourself. How to do that?
Add value to yourself and people would focus on you.
