ታትሮ የሰራ ሁሉ ሀብታም አይሆንም!
I saw a homeless man in the corner of the train today. Every so often, he would take short walks through the carriage to ask for money, but as soon as he finished, he retreated straight back to his corner. He kept his face turned away from everyone, staring into the wall trying to hide , trying to make himself invisible. I can only imagine how small he must be feeling. My heart ached just watching him.
The utter loss of human dignity.
We live in a world where millions of homes sit empty, owned by a handful of greedy millionaires as investment properties, while human beings are freezing and starving on the streets. In the UK alone, there are over 260,000 long term empty homes, and across Europe, the number of vacant properties is estimated to be over 11 million. We have more than enough roofs to shelter every single person, yet the system chooses to treat housing as a financial asset rather than a basic human right. We call this "growth" and "capitalism," but any system that prioritizes empty buildings over dying human beings is a profound moral failure.
አይ growth... አይ capitalism.
The same model of “growth” is haunting our country today and that’s why I’m raising this issue here.
Then they have the audacity to tell us that we can succeed if we just work hard, preaching that poverty is merely the result of laziness.
They are lying.
Hard work does not guarantee success. Hard work is honorable and good, yes, but this corrupt system does not inherently reward labor… it rewards ownership. As I heard someone say recently: you don’t climb the ladder by working hard; you climb it by owning the ladder. Of course, there are exceptions where individuals manage to work their way out of poverty, but for the most part, a capitalist society without strong regulations will only help the rich and the privileged accumulate even more privilege.
A girl born into poverty can work herself to death her entire life and still die in poverty. That is the grim reality for the vast majority of people. If I’m enjoying a certain amount of financial comfort, it’s the place I started from on top of my hard work. The women who used to come wash our clothes on Sundays when I was a child is still struggling. She worked harder than I ever did and for way longer than me.
ድሀ ሆኖ ተወልዶ እድሜ ልክ እንደ አህያ ሰርቶ ድሀ ሆኖ የሚሞት/ የምትሞት ህዝብ መዓት በየሰፈራችን፣ ቤታችን ውስጥ አገልጋያችን እያሳዩን አደል እራሳችን ካልሆንን?
ስርዓቱ ለሁሉም አይሰራም, and poverty is a failure of society, not the individual.
When a system rewards the ownership of empty walls over the survival of human beings, then not everyone who works hard becomes rich. That is my point.

Good morning, my peoples! 🤩
It's been 11 days since June 1st and 4 days since the first "Sene." How is your summer going so far? Are your plans getting executed, or does summer have its own plan?
For those who are procrastinating like me, let's think: time is moving fast. 11 days already. If we had been more disciplined, we would have been 11 days through our plan. It's not too late yet. Let's start today and make use of the best that's coming.

If you never get disciplined and push yourself to your limits, you would never know what you can achieve and the miracles you are capable of.

Guys, skill issues with AIs are hitting me so hard.😭 I can say my skill level with any AI is below 10%, so please seniors, tell me what should I do. How should I learn and where should I learn it? (Most probably it will be YouTube, but any suggestion is appreciated.) And for those like me, what if we come together, dedicate time, and learn this summer? As I have seen many times, nothing beats learning with someone who has the same energy and goal. I want only 2 or 4 people, not to add the burden of management and staffs on me ;).
Anyway, if you are interested DM

Introducing BirrJS
A TypeScript billing engine for the Ethiopian market. Payment gateways here only handle one-time payments, so there's no built-in support for subscriptions, entitlements, or reminders.
BirrJS fills that gap with a subscription lifecycle engine that handles plans, feature gating, usage tracking, expiry and reminders, and easy payment provider integration.

How Apps Get New Features Without Requiring an Update?
Many modern applications are designed so that the app (the code installed on ur device) is separate from feature configuration and content.
Many modern applications are designed so that the app (the code installed on ur device) is separate from feature configuration and content.
when developers release an app, they often include code for features that are not yet visible to users. Instead of immediately enabling those features, they place them behind Feature Flags (Feature Toggles) or Remote Configuration systems.
Feature Flags:
Feature Flag is essentially a switch controlled from the backend.
When the app launches, it communicates with a server and retrieves configuration values that determine which features should be enabled or disabled.
Remote Configuration:
Remote Configuration allows developers to change application behavior without publishing a new version to the App Store or Play Store.
Instead of hardcoding values, the app downloads configuration data from the backend.
The app periodically fetches these settings when it starts or while running in the background.
Gradual Rollouts:
One of the biggest advantages is controlled deployment.
Developers can:
-Release a feature to only 1% of users
-Monitor crashes and performance
-Increase exposure to 10%, 25%, 50%, and eventually 100%
-Instantly disable the feature if issues appear
This reduces risk and prevents large-scale failures
.
A/B Testing:
Companies frequently use Feature Flags for experimentation.
For example:
Group A:Old checkout page
Group B:New checkout page
Developers then compare metrics such as:
-Conversion rates
-User engagement
-Retention
-Revenue
The better-performing version becomes the default experience.
Server-Driven UI:
Some applications go even further by allowing the server to determine what parts of the user interface should be rendered.
Instead of shipping every UI change through an app update, the backend sends instructions describing what components should appear on the screen.
This allows companies to change portions of the interface dynamically.
Important Limitation:
Feature Flags and Remote Config cannot create completely new native functionality that doesn't already exist in the installed application.
If a feature requires:
New platform APIs
New libraries
New business logic
New native code
Then a real app update must be released.
I was noticing many new features and UI updates in instagram without me updating the app and I just want to share u the idea behind it

So, does anyone of you know how to decrease the app icon size for the S23 Ultra 8.5 SW update? I'm getting challenged as a software engineer, even though we don't fix mobile phones 😭
I have referred to every AI and YouTube video... but if you have a solution, please share it :(

I have a lot of started projects, ideas, courses, plans, thoughts, relationships, friendships, books, hustles, and life itself... everything in a 20-something percent loading state. The result? Having 10 tabs, 2 books, and IDE, 1 podcast, and 3 meetings open all at the same time, then my mind goes blank and I stay in a frozen mood for more than 30 minutes...
If anyone is like me, let this be the summer be where we finish everything we started, regain our clarity, and get everything back.
Am gonna apply for TMOC'ans if i continue like this :)

Had our first team discussion :))
Just realized how amazing discussions can be when your team is genuinely passionate about what they're doing 💫✨️

Nothing beats working with people who share your energy. If the vibe is off, the effort is wasted. But when it clicks, even beginners can achieve anything.
