Interviewer

Wow, that sounds great! What an amazing story a true symbol of goodness and perseverance.
My next question is
Do you have a team working with you? If so, what challenges do you face when collaborating with a team?

Interviewee

I have some friends but most of them are trader not programmer. Team work is the most and the ultimate weapon to enhance your skill in any kind of field. Because I met some guy when I was learning my freshman course and he give me a lots of insights to discover different latest frameworks and Ai s university በመግባቴ የማመሰግን እሱን ልጅ በማግኘቴ ነው. ከጓደኞች ጋ መስራት ጥሩ ቢሆንም አንዳድ አለመግባባት ስለሚኖር አብረህ የምትሰራበት ሰአት የተገደበ መሆን አለበት ምክንያቱም በምንም ታምር የሰው ልጅ ትመሳሳይ ሊያስብ አይችልም እኔ የማድረግው አንድ በሚያደርገን ሃሳብ እና ስራ ሲኖር ነው ከዛ ውጭ ብዙም የተጣበቀ ጓደኝነት ከስራ ጋ አይሄድም። ትልቁ ነገር ግን be genuine then you're ganna be surrounded by honest people!

Interviewer

Well,What are your perspectives on AI? Some people argue that using AI diminishes one’s capacity or ability and doesn’t count as real writing. Additionally,
what percentage of your work involves AI?

Interviewee

Fr Ai diminishes one's capacity I use Ai for only urgent projects unless I would prefer to build the project manual or less AI interruption. tbh I don't try to write CSS style or Tailwind I use ai I just set up the basic then I let the Ai to do the rest front end.
but I entirely focuses on backend, functions and methods inside the project to ensure everything is under my control because you may get struggle when you need to update feature and function if you use Ai to build the entire project. I can't put the involvement of AI in percentage it depends on different situation as I told you...

Interviewer

Good,The next question is
How do you use or collaborate with AI? How do junior developers learn new languages or frameworks? For instance, I believe it shouldn't take 4 or 5 months to learn a new framework or library; I support using AI effectively to speed up the learning process. What advice do you have on this topic?

Interviewee

በጠንቃቄ በተሞላ መንገድ ከሆነ ችግር የለውም ለምን ይመስልሃል ይሄ ሁሉ AI እያለ እስካሁን እጅግ ገራሚ የሚባል ስራ ሃገራችን ውስጥ ያልተሰራው ምክንያቱም ስለምንሰፍ ነው ብዙ ai መጠቀም ስልቹ እንድሆን ያደርገናል። ስለዚህ ከ AI ይልቅ leaked የተደረጉ የ udemy course እንዲማሩ አበረታታለሁ በ AI ከሚማሩ ይልቅ እና ደሞ ዝም ብሎ ቱቶሪያል ማየት ሳይሆን project መስራት ይበልጥ እንድታወቀው ያድርግሃል።

Interviewer

Well,The next question is
What advice do you have for freshman students regarding which department to join and other considerations?
I know you are a freshman academically, but your work experience as a senior is valuable.

Interviewee

Don't give a shit for any department just focus on you motive interest and passion. Let your motive to enhance each day. Nobody get rich with his degree or MSC. This is the real fact. I use university as a tool to boost my connection, and to influence the target client not just to take BSC. If I come back to BDU and after graduation I will have huge brand with Yoh Space not only BSC. just think about it It's just first year you have 4 or 3 years to build your brand ....

Interviewer

Good point. By the way, I totally agree with your ideas in today’s world, it's important to focus on passion and strive to succeed in life, just like you said.
Now, my next question is
Are there any things you regret not doing in your past journey?

Interviewee

No!! I was always try to be rich therefore I don't have any regret even in what I had done to Forex Trading. I am always a proud of myself for not give up and for pushing forward

Interviewer

Then, let’s go over some of the questions previously raised by our audience.

Hello Birhan i was finished fullstack learning with evangadi and built some project so how i should have to contuine my learning skill and get client?

Interviewee

He’s still asking the same question we all have as devs
Here’s a better way to actually get clients with an 80% success rate (from experience )

1, Build a few sample projects that solve real problems in specific sectors and make them look clean and professional.
2,Open a TikTok account, and start posting your projects + what you’ve learned.
3, Create a Telegram channel where you share your skills, tips, or dev journey.
4, Reach out to companies offer to fix, improve, or redesign their SaaS products.
5 If being a dev is your real dream, keep going even if you fail your first 1000 times.
That alone is enough to make you shine early.

Interviewer

Good. Finally, would you like to share a message with our audience that I haven’t brought up?

Interviewee
