People always say girls are bad at respecting appointments because they come late. But nobody talks about appointments with your home boys. Everyone says I am almost there while they are literally sleeping in their bed.

Personally, I am not bad at respecting time. If I am late, it is usually by a maximum of 30 minutes. I mean, I could be later, but that would be on purpose. With my home boys though, nobody ever comes close to the agreed time. Somehow I adapted to it. I even say I am almost there when I have not even started walking. But since the other party is always more late, it feels like no problem.

One thing remote work teaches you is discipline with time. If a meeting is at 3 and you join at 3:05, it is already considered missed or skipped. Of course it depends on the client, but if it is usually from the West, never expect delays. On time is considered late. With that mindset, you slowly adapt and start feeling that being late by 30 minutes is unbelievable.

All this rant to say one thing. Please do not be late.

Writing this because a friend said only 10 minutes and it has been almost an hour now.

I spent the day at a wedding, and almost 90% of the conversations with the people I was sitting with were about import export.
I was proud to say I also have the badge of an importer exporter, except mine is JavaScript packages.

1 USDT ≈ 192 ETB 🙂

Do you know what that means? I can literally sleep, and the money I already made last week will cover my shawarma without me losing any value. 😁

Get paid in foreign currencies. Inflation is moving faster than your salary raise.

Noor have been upgraded for ramadan . check it out at https://noor.anexon.tech , you can also download the latest version too

And thank you @Khalid_plus for multiple contributions 🫡

May be this app needs to include taraweeh imam listings for each masjid so we don’t end up in onana level imams ( who commit mistakes every ayyah)🙂

When people say they made their first million, are they adding up all the money they made up to that point, or is that the amount of money they have at that time? If it’s the former, it seems more reachable and we should aim higher.

P.S. Just curious so I can modify my plan accordingly. 🙂

finished work early in the day.. so decided to check out Long Tea, this new place that opened at Ambassador Mall.

I tried the super mixed fruit. I would say it’s overrated and overpriced. It has good taste, but 700 birr doesn’t deserve it.

Prices on the menu are excluding VAT. They lack a bit of organization. I stopped for 20 mins just to take my order (there were only 3 people behind me). But anyways, check it out. It won’t hurt.

(exploring new things is my thing. I will continue to share if I don’t find it cringy to post this next morning 🙂)

just like the united guy on tiktok that’s on a challenge to not cut his hair until man united wins five games in a row, If I had started a challenge to not go out until I code five lines in a row without using AI, I would have been a millionaire by now. Because I would never and will never have gone out therefore I wouldn’t and won’t have spent all my money.

There’s this channel that literally helps me every time I start a new programming language Programming with Mosh.

He explains the whole language in like 1–2 hours and gives you a solid overview of the syntax, structure, and core concepts before you dive deep. It just makes everything less overwhelming 😭

I always watch his videos first when I’m starting something new.
And for DSA? You have to watch Abdul Bari.
His explanations of algorithms, time complexity, recursion, trees… everything is just chef’s kiss. He makes hard concepts actually make sense.

If you’re starting a new language or learning DSA, just try them.
Either you’ll love them or not but you should definitely give them a shot. I’m pretty sure most of you already know them

If you are part of a local football team or football group, or if you have a friend who follows Ethiopian football, I am 100 percent sure you either wear or have seen a jersey made by WANAW Sportswear. I mentioned that jersey brand because that is the one I know best, but they also have other shops like Kurta Kids and a garment manufacturing business called Habte Garment.

In this episode of Meri Podcast, Habtesilassie walked us through his journey from his early days as a graphic designer to owning a printing and garment company that has an international brand across Africa and the West. I personally learned from his story how he used the opportunities he had and turned them into ways to grow his business. Of course, he talked about a lot of opportunities he missed, but he also made good use of the ones he got. I learned that we often overlook the opportunities right in front of us. Especially when something is already paying us well, we tend to think more about how to spend the money instead of investing it to grow.

It’s definitely an episode I will listen to again, and I hope you will learn a lot from it too.

اللهم آمين 🤲

they made it 1.8k and we said FINEEE so they thought we liked it so they pumped it to 2k😭😭😂

እስኪ ምንታመጡ typa shi😭

Y’all drop in the comments if there’s any alternative package u are using that’s less expensive

📌 Misconceptions + Advice in Tech 💻🚀

1️⃣ You don’t need to know everything.
One of the biggest misconceptions in tech is thinking you must learn everything. That’s impossible, tech is too vast 💡
Instead, find your path, choose your stack, and grow deeply in that direction. Your journey is yours , stack it wisely 🧠✨

2️⃣ You don’t need to master everything before applying.
You don’t have to be an expert to apply for internships or opportunities. Know the fundamentals. Start. Practice will teach you the rest 💪💻

Honestly, it reminded me of one of my favorite quotes:

“You don’t have to be good enough to start, you just have to start to be good enough.” 🚀✨

3️⃣ Move. Take risks. Get uncomfortable.
Growth doesn’t happen in your comfort zone 📦❌
Challenge yourself. Chase opportunities. Don’t stay stuck in one place, momentum matters more than perfection 🔥🏃‍♂️
Don't let them opportunities pass you!

📌one of regrets in tech shared:

“Not putting myself out there enough.”

That really stood out to me.

Knowing a lot and having the courage to put yourself out there are two completely different things. Skills matter, but visibility, confidence, and action matter just as much 🎯✨


Huge thanks to @software_guy for sharing your journey openly. Continue to inspire us! 🙌
Shoutout as well to @GDSCAAU for organizing such a valuable session 🚀🔥

It truly helped me find clarity and get answers to questions I’ve had for a long time in my tech journey 😊✨

Looking forward to applying what I learned and continuing to grow 🚀💻✨

I’m always surprised, and I lowkey admire people who say their job is their passion. Like I hear a lot of developers saying coding is their passion. Bruh, what do you mean 😭 I respect the vibe, but I’m just here to make enough money so I can travel the world.

If I had 30 birr, I would spend 20 birr on the bus and go to Legetafo on an Anbessa bus just for a visit 😅 that’s how badly I want to travel.

That’s what keeps me coding through all the errors in the middle of the weekend.

Coder to Coder:

Client don’t have time to check if the backend is implemented or not….. Thank you.. !

I’ll be at two events back to back tomorrow: the Google AUC engagement at the African Union Commission and the Addis AI Forum at ALX.
If you’re coming, say hi! Would love to connect and grow my network.
