Quick dev security note (VS Code / Cursor / GitHub users)

There’s an ongoing supply-chain security issue being discussed called PolinRider, which targets open-source developers and their GitHub accounts.

The concern is that some developers’ accounts and access tokens may have been compromised, and that access is being used to:

1. modify repositories
2. submit malicious pull requests
3. Even force push & Inject malicious code into projects

Since many modern apps rely heavily on open-source libraries, this kind of attack can quietly spread through dependencies without being obvious at first.

Also important: private repositories are not automatically safe either, if your account, tokens, or CI/CD access is compromised, private code can still be accessed or modified.

Basic things to double-check:

1. Recent commits / force pushes in your repos
2. GitHub account access + authorized apps
3. VS Code / Cursor extensions you don’t recognize
4. Dependency install scripts in projects
5. Run security audits (npm audit, etc.)

Just sharing for awareness, especially for anyone actively building with GitHub + modern dev tools.

Okay, let’s talk about security today.

Where do you store your passwords, credentials, secret keys, and sensitive information?
Do you save them online?
Do you use the same password everywhere?
Do you actually have 2-step verification enabled on the apps you use daily?


Most people think:
“Who would even care about my account?”
But the scary part is… sometimes it’s not about you.
Someone may want access to your account to use it for something you will later take responsibility for.


Let me tell you something that happened to me last summer.
My phone got stolen in the middle of the day. The phone was out of charge and already shut down, but within just a few hours, the people who stole it managed to do a lot of damage. They used my SIM card to access financial apps. Money was transferred from my mobile banking account. They activated CBE, which I wasn’t even actively using to check whether I had money there. They even borrowed money through Telebirr.


But it gets worse.

They opened my Telegram account on another phone and started messaging people pretending to be me, asking to borrow 10,000 birr “until tomorrow.” They sent that message to more than 20 people. If everyone had believed it, that could’ve turned into hundreds of thousands of birr.


And the creepiest part?

They actually read some of my previous conversations to understand my relationship with those people and decide who would most likely trust the message. All of this happened within only a few hours before I managed to recover my SIM card.
And honestly… if they had gained access to my email too, I could’ve lost almost everything. As my email is connected to my entire digital life.

As software engineers and people living online, we seriously underestimate security.

So please:
• Enable 2-step verification everywhere
• Use different passwords for different accounts
• Make passwords unpredictable
• Don’t store sensitive credentials carelessly online
• Don’t share passwords with anyone
• Don’t keep all your credentials in one place


And one more thing many people don’t know:
You can actually lock your SIM card with a PIN.


That alone could save you from a situation like mine.

Security is not a joke.

One stolen phone or compromised account can destroy years of work, money, trust, or even put you in legal trouble or jail because of actions done through your identity.

Please take it seriously.

Allah says:
أَلْهَىٰكُمُ ٱلتَّكَاثُرُ

Competition for more ˹gains˺ diverts you ˹from Allah˺.


The competition for more money, more followers, more attention, more validation, and more acceptance has caused people to lose sight of the purpose of life and why they were created.

🔥Google Gemini can now completely rewire your brain so you can learn anything at lightning speed.

Here are 7 Gemini prompts to learn anything 10x faster:

1. Feynman Learning Method

"Teach me [insert topic] in simple language as if explaining to a beginner. Then ask me to explain it back in my own words and point out gaps in my understanding."


2. First Principles Breakdown

"Act as an expert instructor. Break down [insert topic] into its most fundamental building blocks using first principles thinking so I understand the core logic instead of memorizing surface-level facts."


3. Active Recall Coach

"After teaching [insert topic], quiz me with challenging questions that force me to recall information without looking at notes, then evaluate my answers with detailed corrections."


4. Spaced Repetition Schedule

"Create a spaced repetition revision schedule for learning [insert topic], including what to review daily, weekly, and monthly so information moves from short-term memory into long-term retention."


5. Smart Knowledge Summary

"Summarize [insert topic] into clear frameworks, mental models, and simplified structures so the most important information becomes easier to remember and apply."


6. Learning Acceleration Plan

"Create a learning roadmap for mastering [insert skill] that includes stages, milestones, and checkpoints so I always know what to learn next without wasting time."


7. Weakness Assessment

"Ask me diagnostic questions about [insert topic] to identify my weakest areas, misunderstandings, or blind spots, and recommend targeted improvements."

While you were learning Python 3, the entire industry quietly switched to AI-native development.

80% of the code being written in 2026 isn't being typed it's being directed . The developers still manually writing CRUD apps and basic scripts aren't 'purists.' They're being automated out.

If your workflow doesn't include: • AI agents in your IDE • Prompt engineering as a core skill • Autonomous debugging & testing loops
...you're not 'taking your time.' You're already 2 years behind.

The gap isn't closing. It's widening every quarter.

👇 What are you doing this week to catch up?"

Things that will crash you when you start in tech are unrealistic expectations. A lot of people expect to get paid huge money immediately because they are good at coding, got great grades, or finished courses. The market does not work like that right now. The tech industry is very hard to break into. Skills matter, but connections matter just as much. The biggest gold mine in this field is the people you meet. Take every opportunity seriously, small tasks, internships, helping on projects, networking, collaborations, and community work. Do not underestimate any of them. Opportunities stack on top of each other. One project leads to another. One connection introduces you to someone else. Over time, that momentum changes your life. Know your value and improve your skills constantly, but do not let opportunities pass you because your expectations are disconnected from reality.

We’re always told to upskill, but what happens when you try to install every library at once? You end up with a system crash. I call it the curse of being nothing in the process of trying to be everything.

Today I had a meeting with a senior Google developer who has worked there for more than 20 years, both as a permanent employee and freelancer. It was such an amazing experience, and I got a lot of valuable insights from him.

Here are some life principles and lessons I learned:

1. Stay fit and take care of your health. At the end of the day, health matters the most.

2. Focus on building real skills first. Don’t just follow whatever trend the world is chasing. Work on something you truly enjoy, something you can spend hours on like it’s a game. Read books, especially research papers. If you are a junior developer, learn the fundamentals deeply. Use AI wisely to understand things from the ground level.

3. Communication skills are just as important as technical skills. Learn how to explain and present your knowledge. These days, your online presence matters a lot more than just a resume. Build visibility through platforms like GitHub and by sharing your work online.

Also, attend workshops and meetups. But don’t just attend. make sure you connect with at least one person and keep in touch with them.

4. Have a spiritual life. Whether you are religious or not, always try to be good to others. You never know when your kindness will come back to help you.

Another important point was this:
Build projects that solve your own problems or local problems around you. It’s easier to understand problems you personally face. Then think about how those solutions can scale internationally.

And about AI:
Use AI as a mentor, not as something to completely depend on. Learn the basics well and use AI to simplify your learning and productivity.

Finally, being a good developer means being a lifelong learner. Technology changes fast, and you must keep updating yourself. He started learning during the COBOL and FORTRAN era, and he still adapts to modern technologies today. So keep learning, keep building, and prepare yourself for the international market.

Visibility matters. Real projects matter. Continuous learning matters.

While arranging the teams for the DSA program, one thing really hit me, how much changing a username can actually cost you.

Some applicants had changed their Telegram usernames, so we reached out through email instead. But only a few actually saw the emails and responded.

And honestly, this doesn’t apply only to Telegram usernames. The same goes for emails, portfolio links, GitHub accounts, LinkedIn profiles, and other contact details.

The scary part?
This might not always be about a learning program. It could be a dream job, an internship, a scholarship, or a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

No matter how smart or dedicated you are, small things like these can quietly cost you opportunities you truly deserved.

Sometimes opportunities don’t disappear loudly.
They get lost silently, in an ignored inbox, an outdated link, or at the cost of a changed username.
