It’s about time we recruit new crushes tho

This conversation is taken from one of the interviews I had with a top-rated TV show in 2033.

Interviewer: So, Yohannes, tell me one secret of yours to achieve all these things at such a young age. I mean, you recently cofounded multiple unicorn kinds of startups, you worked at a few of the big tech companies, you wrote a best-selling book, and you have been talking on stages like TedTalk and Tech Crunch. What is the secret to all these achievements? What is your recipe?

Me: *clears throat* First of all, I haven’t achieved much, and I am still learning. But for the things you have mentioned, to get those things, I think having multiple crushes helped me.

Interviewer: *👀*

Me: *sips from the glass of water at the table* So, I like to think about “natural selection” when I think about achieving your goals. What natural selection says is survival of the fittest, and I take that as analogous to women’s choice of mates. You know as a man you’re inclined to impress women around. I don’t know if you noticed it or not, but your performance gets crazy (top) when you are around women. A gym where everyone there is a man and a gym where there are women doing workouts are far different. The guys want to show off their strengths and endurance when there are potential mates.

So, to get to my point, by having multiple crushes, you would have multiple muses for creativity, productivity, and even humor. So I advise any man in his twenties to have crushes around his neighborhood so that he will take care of himself even if he’s staying at home, at school to excel at his academic endeavor, at work to get him productive, over LinkedIn to get him accountable for starting up his business soon, over Facebook or Instagram to make him much more presentable, funny, and quick-witted. By any means, though, don’t you dare date in your twenties. It makes you complacent. So that is my tip. That has been my principle for the last ten years.

All that we do is for the female gaze and we love the hustle

Hey bro, do you know where I can get the Cursor Credits?

I’m Yohannes Haile. They know me as the iOS guy now, because I spent years brainwashing everyone into associating iPhones with me.

I build apps for the iPhone. And been doing that for the past ~5 years. Built apps and libraries with Swift for companies/clients residing here in Addis and globally.

I have an annoying sense of humor and I consider myself an extrovert with the right people. The right people being iPhone users.

Someone called manual coding retro habits and I couldn’t be more disappointed about AI

No amount of pleasure replaces the feeling you experience while the features you worked on impact a lot of users.

I remember last year at Triller, some bug I introduced passed QA (they were tough on us) and later my coworker (now at Novarch LLC) found out I made a logic mistake using the ternary if else operator...

The mistake as psudo code of the line was something like this:
Notification bell icon image = notifications = 0 ? bell with red : bell without red

I was fancy enough to use ternary, but not focused enough which asset was the one that should be there for when there was no notifications

Anyways, bug stayed till next sprint and the PM didn't notice, the Indians didn't notice, I was just annoyed that I see notification icon telling me I have unread messages, but nothing there... I just did not get it


That bug landed the #2 Photos & Videos category app on the App Store while TikTok was banned from the US for a while

Why do I forget why I opened a new tab every time I want to bring a doc or something to feed to my agent? I often have to go back to my conversation with Codex to see what it needs and why I went to Chrome in the first place.

Am I getting old? Am I losing it? Or am I in love?

Work-Life Balance, you asked?

Wait

Siri, check my balance in Ledgerly?

What does that tell you?

After having been using the iPhone 12 Pro Refurbished you bought me since January 2024, I’m saddened to announce my battery is dog water now.

Apple recommends changing devices after the 80% maximum battery capacity mark, because their devices won’t be as good and reliable after that threshold.

As always, I define my purchase wishlists here in the channel and God provides. I’m aiming for a better model that can afford the smarter Siri and Apple Intelligence by the end of this year (2026). This will buy me some time to recover from my recent consumerism-driven purchase which I don’t regret at all and have been utilizing to the fullest.

On another note, I have returned to Codex.

Home Sweet Home

My YouTube channel is testament for how I started from humble beginnings. God did.

You’re the OG if the loops you know are rather the do-while and the for loops

It’s been a year since I rawdogged Swift like a caveman I were
