And it’s May 1st… let’s see how this goes.

For tomorrow's match I’m choosing frontend … even though every team I support somehow forgets how to win 😭
Anyway… frontend till the end ✌️

መልካም ሰንበት 💛

እኔ ተኛሁ አንቀላፋሁም፤ እግዚአብሔርም ደግፎኛልና ነቃሁ።
ከሚከብቡኝ ከአእላፍ ሕዝብ አልፈራም።

Ohhhhh yeahhh😎😎😎

Let's go back to uni(HARER ) 😫😭

Lately, I’ve been getting into system design. and been starting to see how real systems scale… and it’s very different from code that just works locally.

Planning to turn these into proper blogs as I go.

Let’s see where this goes 👀

Natnael Getenew, a self-taught developer from Addis Ababa, has been named one of the winners of the AWS AIdeas global competition, selected from more than 10,000 submissions across 115 countries.

His platform, Ivy, is a compressed AI model (under 260MB) that runs on Android devices without an internet connection. It proactively calls students and delivers personalized lessons, quizzes, and flashcards through 21 AI-powered tools.

When connected, Ivy integrates with AWS cloud services; offline, it operates entirely on-device.

Chosen by an AWS expert panel for its strong technical execution and creative problem-solving, Natnael’s project earned him a $10,000 cash prize along with $1,000 in AWS credits.

Morning fam 🌅😊

Some days you feel like you're building the future.
Other days you spend hours fixing one tiny bug.

That’s normal.

You compare yourself to people shipping fast, while you’re stuck debugging or trying to understand things.
But every developer you admire was once confused, stuck, and questioning everything.

The difference? They kept going.

You’re not behind. You’re building.
Keep going. 👊
