There’s a lot we have planned for the ecosystem!!!
@MicrosoftADC
Just became a Microsoft MVP for Developer Technologies. 😊 Means a lot, most people that know me know how passionate I am about Microsoft and it’s technologies.
Thank you
@mr_odoom
and every other person that has been a part of my process. Thank you!
Software engineering isn't a great side-career if your aspiration is to do other things.
It takes way too much of your time to let you do anything else.
Guys, my friend
@iamseyiajayi
is looking for work as a frontend dev. HTML + CSS + Angular.
Left picture is a design from dribble, right is implementation with Angular.
Recent grad, hardworking, team player, Lagos based.
Working on more designs for portfolio.
Please RT.

Another kind of agriculture is livestock and fisheries, China had a fisheries gdp of $45billion as far back as 2014 (Wikipedia). African countries should pick crops that are needed by industries and find ways of producing them cheaply and quickly not this backyard farming.

I disagree with this, countries are probably just doing agriculture wrong. Look at the case of Brazil and sugarcane. They doubled down on the sector and now produce 25% of the world’s sugar and ethanol. It is a key part of their economy.
We’re looking to hire an intermediate Front End Developer in Abuja. Not an expert yet but improving? We’ll help you grow. Please RT. Someone may need this. Cc

Some exciting news!
If you're a lady that's been looking/trying to learn to code I and the amazing guys
@WellaHealth
have partnered to do a focused training for 10 ladies over the next few weeks.
They will be supporting learners with a monthly stipend for internet costs.
Picking up TypeScript this weekend and I’m like: wait the Js Community loves this? But is it pretty much C#.
We clearly are not doing enough work showing people how cool it is to work with the
@dotnet
stack.
Where are the Dotnet Developer Advocates?
So myself and a co worker got tired switching between
@VisualStudio
and Notepad to note reminders and small pieces of information so I made an extension.
Project is on github, please see roadmap and contribute.

It isn’t gloating, it is bitter anger for something completely avoidable. The fact that such an incompetent person was packaged and marketed, there was no reason or credential to his name to pick him over GEJ.
I am in urgent need of three dotnet developers to join a remote team. Must have experience working with any of Azure Functions, Cosmos DB Stored Procs, Azure Event Grid. Please dm your CV/GitHub link. Role is fully remote. Start date: Monday 11th. (Tomorrow)

Sarah needs a new laptop please. She has been learning to code on her own, alittle guidance from me. She can code the quadratic formula in C# now. Please RT maybe someone will help. She really shouldn’t have to give up because laptop is bad
Please join me today at the

community meetup where we talk about the framework, you get to meet, interact & network with other developers from different parts of the world.
Time/Date: 16:00 UTC, July 4, Saturday. (5PM WAT).
Some people don’t want higher chances of job/pay. They want deep domain knowledge acquired in a structured way, delivered by proven experts on the subject.
This attack on academia is becoming irritating.
If we take out the little truth that having an MSc offers you "higher" chances of getting a better job + pay,
Say it never existed
Why do y'all scramble for it?
I'm really curious🤔

The EU didn’t just feel like wasting money when they deployed their own Navigation System in 2016, o😁 Most people don’t know that GPS means Global Positioning System and it’s a constellation of satellites “owned” by the US government. We all use it, they know where we all are.
You quickly learn that it isn’t your technical skills you require most to finish that side project. It’s your grit, your determination to make out time, your ability to continue to see why you started in the first place.
We need hubs, not these startup or business focused hubs. Hubs for nerds that encourage technical depth and connect people to just nerd out, no pressure to start a hyper scaling startup, just develop technology, work on open source projects, create them.

She said it’s an unchangeable sexual orientation then goes ahead to say we need to accept them so they will be unafraid to reveal themselves so that we can better understand them and improve their treatments. Interesting.
I really wish that most professionals on Nigerian twitter will grant mock interviews to people just starting out in career. Would really help gauge our progress for those of us that can only learn from books and no real experiences.

Can hotels agree to buy simple-to-use showers? How can I spend 15minutes looking for how to use this shower? 🤦♂️
This is a usability issue! 😡 (or maybe I’m just not that smart 😔)
Can African Startups tell the community what they technical challenges they wont mind help solving? Maybe we can spend hacktoberfest helping them build rather than contributing to large already successful tools. Cc:

read on quartz africa that we've done just about 150 tests while south africa - had their index case a week after us - has done 15k tests.
My guess is they expect a wave to hit us soon and want to take home their own.
I think that generally people don’t count your success as “true success” when you achieve it outside their perceived norm.
So they criticize and wait for you to fall so they can declare how right they were.
I observed something and at first I thought I was paranoid but It’s now happened way too many times that I can’t help but draw this conclusion lol. Way too many people (mostly men) don’t want me to be genuinely happy. I am in my 30s Living unapologetically, I don’t fit into the

I usually put a lot of thought into how best to convey information when I talk to people starting out with programming/C# and I am super happy when they enjoy the experience!
Its key for me that you enjoy, not endure learning.

I postulate that all developers are geniuses but instead of solving the world’s problems we spend our minds producing these dorky jokes that only us understand.
@OgbeniDipo
Actually this analogy is wrong and has gone on for too long, the brain controls everything, the neck acts on instructions from the brain.
Not saying that woman are not in charge or anything, just saying that this analogy ain’t it.

*Microsoft buys GitHub*
Developers: we must move off GitHub to leave the evil corporation!
*Github becomes free for teams of any size, features too*
Developers: Sweet Sweet. GitHub FTW.
A lot of early career stage developer and software engineers need to understand its too early on in their careers for them to feel like a failure.
That’s the tweet.
I will be producing content and providing guidance as you learn, ultimately we hope to get you interview ready for entry level developer roles after the program.
Interested or know someone that is? Please apply here:
Why is it the default to mock someone when they display ignorance? Can you try to correct, change a mindset or mentality? No, you guys enjoy being "savages".

It is an unfortunate thing to happen and men should be called out but lying that she was forced to carry the pregnancy full time to add spice is unnecessary. Good day.
Being an Entrepreneurial Minded Software Engineer allows you to learn to build while getting paid. If you’re smart you’ll also learn to network and manage people.
I see that Nigerian Tech Twitter is going nuts over salaries today, just remember.
All start ups dont have the same amounts of funding/revenue. That you are paid less doesnt necessarily mean you aren't being paid fairly. That's what they can afford to pay at this stage.
Spilled water (a lot) on my surface book. Detached the screen, upturned the keyboard and it had water dripping out. Put if out in the sun for awhile, shook it a bit, attached screen and voila. Working perfect.
I love this machine.
I don't think we can tech our way out of poverty, the vast majority of our population aren't equipped for high tech jobs, we don't have the infrastructure.
I think we should focus on manufacturing.

I keep saying as long as what we are trying to do is follow, we will always be a step behind, because we don’t have all the information for this process that we’re following, they simply can’t afford to hand it to us.
We need to discover our own paths, patterns, processes.
