oww 🤕 tele just bumped the unlimited internet price by almost 40 percent. safari already did the same last week.

what is ironic is that a couple of years ago they were saying the current price was expensive and they needed to make it cheaper while improving the quality. now the quality is even worse and the price is higher. if we think about inflation maybe the increase does not look that crazy but honestly who cares about that. we only care about the money going out of our pocket.

Alhamdulilah, anyway.

No disrespect to Socrates or Plato and all of them but I would have figured all that stuff out too if I was like the 20th person to ever exist

As I was talking to my women today, I discovered the sweet n funniest thing about how she understands ChatGPT 😂

She was telling me about the struggles she had communicating with ChatGPT, and suddenly she said she’ll continue her conversation on her friend’s PC using her friend’s ChatGPT account.
I asked her, “How are you going to do that?” and she replied, word for word:

“ምን ችግር አለው? የህሉ ጓደኛ ነኝ ብላት እኮ ታስታውሰኛለች፣ ታውቀኝ የለ?” 😅😂

I swear she said it with full confidence. She really treated ChatGPT like an actual human being even gave it a whole female gender 😭😂
She’s a med student, I’m a tech person… so I get why she’d assume that, but the way she said it was just too funny. I was laughing alone like a crazy person 😂😂😂

If you’re reading this… as I don't get the chance to say this, I love you infinite sah ❤️ and that’s not how chatbots work. They don’t even have a gender 😅

This is fun, fr. The story could have a bit of sauce but even on reality do u think most people understand how chatbots work ? There are definitely a lots of people who think chatGPT can never make mistakes.

This is exactly how I reacted when my boss played the same exact joke..

I think Arteta’s trust the process to win Arsenal a trophy is like the software projects I start; they will never come to an end.

Multi tasking 🙂

Why can't it be like this fr though 😂

This is so true. Especially in the world of programming, whenever you’re building a new kind of product, using a new tech stack, or working with a system you’ve never built before, it’s not easy. And when you have a client staring at you, expecting you to deliver and ship fast, it becomes even harder.

You start questioning yourself again and again. You feel dumb and think you’re not fit for the place. And it’s not just programming, it’s life in general.

Back in lower elementary school, I was really fast at addition and multiplication, but I struggled with subtraction and division. In high school, learning the laws of electromagnetism was not my thing at all. I had to panic first, then study extra hard until I finally understood the concepts. At university, I wasn’t a DSA person either, but I tried my best and at least managed to get through some paths. I still struggle with DSA, and honestly, if I had kept the same commitment I had back in A2SV, DSA could have been a piece of cake for me by now.

All in all, my point is this. Panicking at first is completely normal, and you will experience it throughout your life. But if you’re the kind of person who keeps making excuses to give up, then you’re doomed, and you don’t deserve to get better. You should struggle and at least give it an honest try before giving up. Panicking without putting in the effort is not the solution.

Also, just because the people around you seem to get it right away, don’t think you don’t belong there and quit. I can tell you that 99 percent of them have already been directly or indirectly exposed to that kind of thing before. The remaining one percent might just be gifted. Make extra effort to compensate, reach the level of that 99 percent, and catch up.

As always, I’m ranting at midnight with a tired brain. Hope this makes sense.

POV: you have been watching the stream all the day and you just realized you have final exam tomorrow 😅

Today’s ders at the masjid was about Zakat and suddenly everyone turned into scholars, so many questions compared to the ders on salat and other topics 😂. It made me realize something: people actually have more wealth than they admit when they say they’re “not making much” in life. Because honestly, if there was nothing there, what Zakat are we even calculating? No hasty generalization, just my thoughts.

30 days left for Ramadan 😳

May Allah make us from the ones who will benefit from it.

We got to interview @chapidevtalks for Devtopia.

We talked about his experience freelancing and his professional work here in Ethiopia and abroad. We also had a big discussion on how he deploys his projects.

It is a great episode, check it out.

I thought everyone would relate to this simple life hack, but apparently not.

I turned off notifications on almost all my social media apps years ago. Telegram, TikTok, Instagram, you name it. I honestly don’t remember the last time my phone wasn’t on silent. It’s always been that way, and I genuinely prefer it.

It’s not because I’m trying to be edgy or detached. I just don’t like being interrupted. If I’m watching TikTok, I don’t want a Telegram notification popping up and pulling me out of it :) More than that, I like choosing when I respond instead of reacting the moment something comes in.

Notifications create this constant sense of urgency. Every buzz or banner feels like it needs immediate attention, even when it really doesn’t. When notifications are off, I check apps on purpose, on my own time. It feels calmer and more controlled. I’m not sure, but I honestly think this nonstop stimulation plays a role in attention issues too.

People may assume this means I’m not active. That’s not true at all. My screen time would tell you otherwise. I use social media a lot. The difference is I’m not being constantly pulled in different directions. I decide when and how I engage, and that makes a huge difference.

This obviously doesn’t apply to work apps. If you work remotely, quick responses matter. In that case, keeping notifications on makes sense.

But in general, I really recommend turning off unnecessary notifications, keeping your phone on silent, and seeing how it feels.

Truee….
