Don't downgrade your dreams to match your reality, upgrade your beliefs to match your vision 🔥

1 USD = 155 ETB.

No one here is paying me 155x my effort, so I stopped working with local clients like 1 and half year ago. (same for @Natyiu0). If you trust your skills and have solid projects (not just AI to do lists), go to YC startups, find early stage founders on LinkedIn or X, and DM them. Twitter Premium helps and its worth it.

If you’re good, you can land a $1k internship for 1–2 months. Go all in, and it can turn into a $3k–$4k full-time role. I’ve seen it happen. If you’re not there yet, build. 2–4 hours a day. One strong project every week for 4 weeks. Post on X (views don’t matter), then start DMing.

Keep building, make projects more complex over time. Just make side projects a habit. Rewire your brain.

Dev fam, quick update:

Lately I’ve been working on an ERP system for a government company here in Addis. It’s a real production system, and I’ve been getting familiar with Odoo, mainly doing module customization.

So far, my work is appreciated by my teammates and PM, which feels good. It’s been a nice experience trying something new and understanding how these systems work in real environments.

And no, I’m not switching paths 😄
Still an Android/Kotlin guy at heart.

Just expanding the toolkit.

The most based advice ...
don't listen to people who has the "only way" give them the middle finger and move on

The most shared post so far 😁 ጨበርበርቱ generation .

Built a mobile inventory scanner integrated with Odoo ERP.

You can scan a product, view stock, and update inventory directly from your phone, no manual entry or delays.

Tech: Flutter + Odoo (JSON-RPC)

Back in BiT dorms (Aklilu Lemma Bldg)
my mates will never forget me saying:
“i’m one with the force, the force is with me” 😂
(stole that from Rogue One: A Star Wars Story)

mostly exam mornings… staring at my one‑side short paper, trying to memorize the whole course in a rush.

it was just a joke then…
now i see it’s about belief + focus, walking thru chaos without losing calm.

missed dorm memories… all of 'em Zenzelma, Selam, Poly BiT.

@abroid0

after long dedication and consistency, i’m starting to see some light… feels amazing. grateful to God for this.

lately i’ve been noticing trust from my team more than i expected. it’s not just about the work, but about who i am and how i show up every day.

reminded me that showing up and doing the work really speaks.

one lesson i’m carrying with me:
people matter. showing up in any way gets you closer to what you want.

trusting the process as always ✌️

@abroid0

connections matter
not many, just a few real ones
use them well, grow with them,
and reach the level they can take u to

@abroid0

to those on exams… may God be with u (@Mati_12021, ...) 😄
