💡Tech of the day: GitHub
A few days ago, we talked about Git. Since Git and GitHub are often mentioned together, I thought it would be a good time to talk about GitHub too.
You might have heard of it before, but just in case you haven't...
GitHub is a website where you can store your coding projects online. It works really well with Git and makes it easy to:
- 📂 Save your projects
- 🔄 Keep a backup of your code
- 🤝 Work with other people
- 🌍 Share your projects with anyone
A simple way to think about it:
Git tracks the changes in your code, while GitHub is where you can keep and share those Git projects online.
If you're learning to code, I think creating a GitHub account and uploading even your small projects is a great habit to build. You'll also be able to look back and see how much you've improved over time.
Do you already have a GitHub account? 👀

God's forgiveness doesn't echo our past.
Human hearts may forgive, yet still remember.
A forgotten wound can return with a single word.
But God's mercy is different.
When He forgives, He doesn't keep score.
He doesn't chain us to yesterday.
Grace rewrites what guilt could never erase.
The cross didn't just cover our sins it carried them away.
ስለሚያስደንቀው ምህረትህ ተመስገን✨

Mike Malagies ይባላል social media ላይ ምታውቁት ከሆነ እና ምን አለ complain የምናደርገው እራሱ ስላሉን ነገሮች ነው።ከማማረር በዚያኛው side blessing አለ።ቤት ስለ ማፅዳት ምታማርሩት ቤት ስላላቹ ነው፤ሳህኖቹን ስለ ማጠብ ምታማርሩት ምግብ ስላላችሁ ነው፤ደክሞኛል ብላችሁ ምታማርሩት በህይወት ስላላችሁ ነው፤ስራ ስለመሄድ ምታማርሩት ስራ ስላላችሁ ነው፤ስለ traffic ምታማርሩት መኪና ስላላችሁ ነው፤ልጆቻችሁ ወይም ቤተሰቦቻችሁ እንዳስቸገሯችሁ ምታማርሩት ቤተሰብ ስላላችሁ ነው እያለ ይናገራል።እውነትም አስተውለነው ከሆነ we complain too much abt things that we already have.
So let's begin this challenge today. Mike suggested doing it for one week from july 13-19, but let's aim to make it a lifestyle.
No more complaining—only gratitude, faith, and words that give life.he also mentioned "abracadabra," a word often linked to Aramaic and commonly used by magicians, sometimes explained as meaning "I create as I speak." While that historical origin is debated, it reminds us of a biblical truth: God creates by His Word, and our words also have the power to build up or tear down.✨

እንዴት እያረጋችሁ ነው? ቻለንጁን👀
ከጓደኛዬ ጋር እያወራን ነበርና ጀምረሻል ወይ ስላት አልጀመርኩም ደግሞ እኔ ብዙም አላማርርም እኮ አልፎ አልፎ አንዳንዴ ነው ብላኝ ሳቀች😁።ከዛ የሰው ልጅ ማንነቱ ነው አይደል በቃ የሆነ ሊለቀው የማይችለው ሰርፆ ውስጡ የገባ እስተውለነው ከሆነ we prefer seeing the bad side of things rather than seeing the good እና ብቻ እንደዛ ምናምን እያልን ስናወራ ነበር.....
ከዛ tonight I almost broke the challenge😂.i was abt to complain and blame myself for something I should’ve known
my mind was ready to start the negativity session, but then I remembered the challenge.Time to learn from it instead of complaining.✨️እና አልደግመውም ስህተቱን ብዬ መንገዴን ቀጠልኩ እላችኋለው🚶♀️🚶♀️

እና ሌላኛው ደግሞ በጣም ማማርርበት ጉዳይ ስለ ዲፓርትመንቴ ነው😁for a long time, I kept complaining about Software Engineering and even questioned why I chose this field.የተሳሳተ ቦታ ነው እንዴ የገባሁት?ምን እሰራለው እዚህ እኔ እኮ ስለዚህ ነገር ምንም አላውቅም፤ባውቅ እራሱ ምንም አልሰራም ....
Then I realized the problem wasn't the field—it was that I was learning different subjects without seeing how they all connected. I focused too much on theory and not enough on building.አስታውሳለው my first programming language was c++ እና ምን እንደሆነ ምንም አይገባኝም ነበር ፈተና ላይ theory ፓርቱን ብቻ ነበር ሰርቼ ምወጣው፤ወይ እሱ ለኔ አልተፈጠረም ወይ እኔ ለሱ አልተፈጠርኩም በቃ እያልኩ እወጣ ነበር🥲
I think i must change the way i see things.....

So instead of complaining, I'm starting again with a different mindset.
For the next 10 days, I'll be sharing the topics I believe every Software Engineering student should understand,(roadmap ምናምን እያልኩኝ አላደርቃችሁም ግን እኔ እራሴ ስለምፈልገው ነው አውቃለው ለማለት ድፍረት እንዲሆነኝ ከሚታየው ነገር ሁሉ ጀርባ ምን እንዳለ ለማወቅ ነው I'm not sharing this as a roadmap or a checklist.these are simply the foundations I believe every Software Engineering student should understand while learning and also building projects alongside them.
You might be thinking, "In the age of AI, why learn all this if AI can generate the code?"
We'll definitely use AI—it has become an essential tool.but AI is most powerful when you understand what it's generating.knowing the fundamentals helps you ask better questions, spot mistakes, improve the code, and build software with confidence.
I'm learning too, so let's learn, build, and grow together—one step at a time.✨

Hey there እንዴት ናችሁ?so as i said yesterday we're gonna start the day one ....✨እና በብዛት ስለምንሰማቸው ነገሮች ነው የምናነሳው
Day 1: Computer Fundamentals 💻
Every software we build runs on a computer, so it makes sense to start by understanding the machine behind the code.
Today, let's look at the foundation:
🖥️ Hardware – The physical components of a computer like the CPU, RAM, and storage.
⚙️ Operating System (OS) – Windows, Linux, or macOS. It manages your computer's resources and allows programs to run.(ኮርሱን ወስደን ነበር ግን i don't even remember a thing😁)
💡 Programming Fundamentals – Variables, data types, conditions, loops, functions, algorithms, and problem-solving. These concepts stay the same even if the programming language changes.
⌨️ Terminal/Command Line – A powerful way to interact with your computer that every software engineer should become comfortable using.(u might remember that I shared a post about Bash a few days ago. Bash is one of the command-line tools we use in the Terminal. At the time, it may have seemed like just another tool, but now you can see where it fits in the bigger picture. It's one of the foundations every software engineer should be comfortable with.
I believe strong foundation makes learning everything else much easier. so እዩት ብቻ
Tomorrow, we'll see how the Internet works and how our applications communicate with each other. 🌐✨

Day 2: How the Internet Works 🌐
Yesterday, we looked at the computer itself. Today, let's see how computers communicate with each other.
Every time you open a website, send a message, or watch a video, many things happen behind the scenes.
Here are the basics every Software Engineering student should know:
🌍 The Internet – A global network that connects millions of computers.
📍 IP Address – Every device connected to the internet has an address, just like every house has one.
🔎 DNS (Domain Name System) – It translates website names like "google .com" into IP addresses that computers can understand.
📨 HTTP & HTTPS – The rules (protocols) that allow browsers and servers to communicate. HTTPS is the secure version that protects your data.
🤝 Client & Server – Your browser or mobile app is the client. The computer that stores and sends the website or data is the server.
Understanding these concepts will make learning APIs, backend development, and web development much easier.
Tomorrow, we'll see programming Fundamentals—how we communicate with computers and the core concepts that every programming language is built on.

Day 3: Programming Fundamentals
Now that we have a basic understanding of how computers work, the next step is learning how to communicate with them.
Programming is simply the process of giving a computer instructions to solve a problem.
Here are the fundamentals every Software Engineering student should know:
💡 Variables – Store information.
🔤 Data Types – Different kinds of data like numbers, text, and true/false values.
🔀 Conditions – Help a program make decisions.
🔁 Loops – Repeat tasks without writing the same code again.
🧩 Functions – Break code into reusable pieces.
🏛️ Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) – A way to organize code using classes and objects.
🐞 Debugging – Finding and fixing errors in your code.
No matter which programming language you choose—C++, Java, Python, JavaScript, or others—these concepts remain the foundation.
Tomorrow, we'll move to Algorithms & Data Structures and learn how programmers solve problems efficiently. ✨

I came across a quote that said, "Humans are designed to create. This is why you get depressed when all you do is consume." It stayed with me.
እና ከትንሽ ቀናት በፊት I was on a bus.an old woman got on carrying nothing but thread and her hands. From the moment she sat down until she got off,she quietly sewed ዳንቴል. She wasn't in a hurry. She wasn't waiting for inspiration.She was simply creating.ልዩነታችንን አይቼ ስገረም ነበር።😁
Meanwhile, I was scrolling through my phone, saving posts, collecting ideas, convincing myself that one day all of this would help me. She was turning thread into something beautiful. I was turning minutes into bookmarks.
Maybe that's the difference. We spend so much time preparing to create that we forget to create at all.
That old woman never said a word, but somehow she reminded me that the hands are meant to make, not just to hold a screen.
እና ምን ልላችሁ ፈልጌ ነው ከመሰብሰብም ባለፈ let your hands create as much as your mind collects.✨
