I was born in a place where mornings started early, shoes collected more dust than memories, and everyone knew everyone: including what you ate for breakfast 😂. Life was simple. If you lost something, it was probably behind you. Or someone had already found it and was judging you for losing it 🙄.

Then I moved to a slightly bigger place. Same sun, more noise. Suddenly, crossing the road felt like a competitive sport 😫. People walked faster, dreams walked with them, and I learned that “later” could mean anything from five minutes to next week 👀.

Next stop 📍: a place where the city finally felt serious. Traffic had opinions. Time moved quicker. People asked, “What do you want to be?” and for the first time, I realized “happy” was not an acceptable answer 🤷‍♂️. I started collecting goals I didn’t know how to carry yet.

Then came the big city. Everything was louder, taller, faster. Buildings looked down on you like they had expectations. Everyone was busy doing something important, or at least pretending very well 🤝. I learned to nod confidently even when I had no idea what was going on 🙄. Survival skill unlocked 😂.

And then one day, I woke up somewhere far from where I started. Different weather. Different accents. Same me just wearing a thicker jacket and overthinking in different languages now. The streets were orderly, the queues were serious, and people apologized even when you bumped into them.

Looking back, I realize something funny. I changed places, accents, and habits but deep down, I’m still that kid trying to figure things out, just with bigger dreams, better stories, and a lot more discoveries.


Some random Sunday shit. Hope you enjoyed it 😊.

@beyondcodes

looking at you @_@

Finally I met my mentor in person. Damn he's got good fashion. I'm planning to ask him to be my fashion mentor 😁.

Now to the technical aspect. Something I noticed what my company does well is documentation. They had a whole quarter dedicated to it. As coders we don't feel like documenting because it's boring. But remember you'll have to refer to your codes a year later or someone will be working on it when you're unavailable. Even If you're working in startups, trust me It'll pay off. It doesn't mean you've to take a whole quarter to document but take an hour of your day to document what you've done that day if you're working in startup.

Got myself a new glass and has a new lens to it. Now every time I walk with it, it feels like I'm walking into a pitfall or a hole 😫. Need time to adjust to it ig 😭.

One culture I like here is that whenever someone comes from a different place they bring something to the team. Though I'm not a coffee person, my mentor brought South Korean coffee and it's really nice. Anyways today will be an advise day ig 😂. One more will come soon.

While some task is running behind let me say that one advise of the day. Follow the rule of third in everything you do. You should feel happy about the thing your doing for 1/3rd of the time, You should feel normal or usual about it for the other 1/3rd of it and the last 1/3rd of it should feel like challenging, boring, exhausting and should make You question whether you made the right decision or not. Each of them have their own attributes to you. The first one will make you feel like your doing something good. The second makes it part of your daily routine so it feels normal. The third one will challenge you to grow and push yourself above the limit.

Lovely Tuesday y'all 😊.

My boss's boss is here for the week. Now I've to get in early and leave late.

Had a 1:1 with my boss's boss and it was nice. Here the things I found interesting from the conversation.

1. As you grow and learn focus on things that you enjoy and that doesn't seem to you that you're exerting energy to make them even though you are. Learn more about yourself than anything.

2. Learn how to work in a professional setup where the risks are high stake. For those you need clear plan and execution unlike Uni projects.

3. Roll outs and roll out processes are import but also roll back and roll back processes are as important if not more. So whatever you're doing work on your roll outs and roll back processes.

I'll add more as I remember. Yaw Ye 2GB memory guday honobgn new 😂.

Oya I remember smtg he mentioned. He also stated that everything you do should be to find the balance in between. This was raised when I asked him what his expectations are for the team as well as me individually. He started by saying his tasks is to find the balance between overwhelming us and underwhelming us. The more you move in life you need to find the balance of the things in your direct and peripheral views as for the rest of the things you don't know are the things you don't know.

Have a lovely balanced life 😊.

Karma is a b*tch besmam 😫. Accidentally shot two balls on my friends face and later at the end of the game a rebound ball hit my face so hard that I'm half face paralyzed now 😭😭😭. What a way to spend my weekend 🤦‍♂️.

People who went to #DagmawiBabisMeetup , how was it and what did you learn from it? Spill the beans here. I want some tea for my Sunday 😊.

Lesson of the week. Friends don't judge but best friends do by design. Well it was a lovely week.

See you next week 😂 why only the next year joke 😂.

Okay as a milestone let me tell you smtg about me. Let's start with my name. My name is Mr. O still 😂😂😂. Are you kidding smenma kenegerkuachu mn keregn 😁. Anyways I completed my elementary and highschool in Hawassa at the same school. Back then I was that guy who is involved in most dramas possible in his class. During my time (yetlk sew were bedenb smu 😁), medicine was the highly sought department and uk when you're in elementary you'll be asked what do you want to be in the future. My answer has always been the same Engineer. Whenever we say Engineer they're some teachers who're like no you should aim for medicine. You can do it with your capabilities mnamn neger. I know someone who knows what I'm talking about 😁. Bacha the one thing about me was that I was one of the students who embodied everything you can ask for. I was smart, bully, betbach, miskin, ametsegna, mekari, temekari, religious, atheist, enklfam, tesatafi like anything you can ask for I was that person. I've witnesses in this channel btw if you think I'm lying 😂😂😂. Anyways fast forward today. I'm still some of them but dropped some of them as well like being smart 😂😂😂.

Anyways nice to meet you. We'll continue some other time.
