Hi Everyone,

This is Mr. O from London. I am a junior software developer at a company called Y. It’s been almost 2 years since I graduated.


Things I loved to do
1. Playing football
2. Hiking
3. Travelling and going out (sometimes)
4. Music

Why this channel? I feel like I have a bit to offer specially when it comes to the non-technical aspects of development. More specifically about resumes, communication skills, networking and bla bla and also a bit of peer pressure (not gonna call names here 🤣). It’s been a while since I wrote about those tbh though 🤦‍♂️.

Anyways about me, born and raised in Ethiopia (though most ppl don’t believe me 😂). Studied SWE in Uni for about 5 yrs. Worked as a product manager and backend for about a year I would say.

This is a place where I write my story times, mistakes I made or advice I got from my boss and boss’s boss, or some unhinged random thoughts and so on.

Thank you for being here y’all. There is a surprise coming soon. And I hope you’ll enjoy it.

Best,
Mr. O

(Corporate email habits 😂)

Just a random Thursday thought

Learning to fail >>>>>> Failing to learn.

The reason why I left office early yesterday 🤧😅😭😂.

We’re back to Monday hoping for the spirit of productivity to kick in and enjoy the week. Have a productive Monday and week y’all 💪🙌.

Quick Question: Has anyone here worked on a micro service architecture project?

Per your request @bakacodes

This feels like ye anbesa bira mastawekiya if anyone remembers it. I’m dying to know what the end announcement is 😁.

It’s 10:30 and I’m already feeling asleep 😭…..we have an announcement today.

🥁🥁🥁🥁 I am collaborating with a few of my friends who work in top tech companies (Amazon, Bloomberg and others ) and high paying remote jobs to provide a 4-5 sessions that will focus on resume polishing, HR interviews, system design interviews and mock leetcode sessions. And the team will be selected from the CodeLeague participant team 🥁🥁🥁🥁. If anyone registered here, well we’ll meet ig 😅.

Good Luck everyone 🙌.

Uk what the hardest thing was? Knowing smtg amazing is coming but you can’t say anything 🤐. Anyways this is so cool Babi. Can’t wait to experiment on this.

Whenever things are becoming overwhelming or worrisome, I listen to a song that has the following in its lyrics

“ሁሉም አልፎ ዛሬ ቆሜ
ካንተ የተነሳ እዚህ አለሁ
ስለነገ እንዴት እፈራለሁ
ህይወቴ በእጅህ ነው”

Just looking back to where I was 5 years ago helps me see how far I have come and add on top of it how far I’ll go.

Finally launched on ProductHunt

@ScholarXIV

Thank you for letting me lend you a hand. I had a lot of fun watching the introduction and the product. Ngl shutting my mouth was the most difficult job I have done in a while after seeing the feature and launch video in advance. It is a great product and coming from this community is smtg else tbh. I’m sure ppl will find this beneficial and enjoy it.

Again Thank you Babi on behalf of me and the community 🙇‍♂️.

Sunday 🍿🎬📽️

Have a productive and enjoyable week y’all. May the bugs runaway, inputs turn into outputs and your system stays stable 🙌🤌.

Thank you @codeandcoffee1 for the kind words. While we are on topic of CodeLeague. I hope everyone enjoyed the contest and was a fun event. As promised and announced as well during the contest. My friends mostly and I partly will be mentoring the selected team.

I’ll let you know how it is going here as well and if there are important things to be mentioned from the sessions that will benefit everyone.

Anyways congrats for the winning team of the contest and we’ll be contacting the selected team once we have everything in place.

Working from home today and tmrw as this week is also a long weekend 😁. Which means I’m also off on Monday but there is no trip planned this time 😭. If I find smtg interesting in this weekend, I’ll share it here.

The 42 Network is one of the most unique coding schools in the world. No tuition fees, no traditional teachers, and no need for a university degree.
You learn through real projects, teamwork, problem solving, and intense coding practice that prepares you for real tech jobs. It’s available in many countries and open to international students too.
Some campuses:
• 42 Bangkok — https://www.42bangkok.com
• 42 Paris — https://42.fr
• 42 Berlin — https://42berlin.de
• 42 Vienna — https://www.42vienna.com
• 42 Porto — https://www.42porto.com
• 42 Tokyo — https://42tokyo.jp
• 42 Seoul — https://42seoul.kr

What makes it comfortable is the flexible learning style. You learn at your own pace, build real projects instead of only studying theory, and become part of a strong international community.
For people passionate about software engineering and technology, this can be a life-changing opportunity.

Being bribed to leave review 🤣. I love this culture man 😁.
