I’d rather work on a project in Assembly or Fortran than prepare a CV. Am I the only one?😭😭😭

Trying to keep up with all these new AI tools lately… feels exactly like when I was trying to learn every new JavaScript framework back in the day 😅

By the time you understand one… there are already new ones waiting for you.

And now with AI?
It’s even crazier, new tools are coming out, every time i checked.

Most of these tools?
They get hyped a lot… then disappear… then new ones come again.

Pick one tool you actually enjoy using.

Learn it well. Use it in real projects.

That’s what really matters.

You can always explore the rest later, when things calm down...

We’ve been here before with frameworks.
We survived that. We may survive this too.

These days, now that I am back home, I am focusing more on connecting with influential people and spending time where I want to see my future self. So, let me share what I learned about life today.

The “የትም ፍጪው ዱቄቱን አምጪው” rule.


Sometimes, when we strive hard in life, we feel like we deserve praise and success. But the rule doesn’t work like that. Whatever you do should produce an observable outcome.

- Nobody cares how many years you spent coding—what matters is whether you’re earning or creating impact with that knowledge.

-Nobody cares how much you studied—what matters is achieving high results.

-Nobody cares how much pain you endured in life—what matters is becoming a valuable person.

-Even more, God does not judge you by the total count of your deeds alone, but by the state you meet Him in at the end.


So, brothers and sisters, whatever skill you have—even something as simple as talking—think about how to turn it into something valuable. Don’t just solve thousands of LeetCode questions if they don’t lead anywhere. And that “somewhere” shouldn’t be vague hope—it should be a clear, strategic plan with a measurable timeline.

Where do you see yourself in 5 years? What about in 10, 15, or 20 years?

I am asking about the result(the life style), not the process—but still, does what you are doing now help you get there? Do you know a developer or software engineer with the life style you want? If so, how did they market their skills? What did they do differently?

Just a reminder to see the big picture 🙂

Sunday remainder


If you think you’re the best in the room, you’re in the wrong room. ቀይር!

Someone said
"Procrastination is an arrogant assumption that God owes you another opportunity for the things you had time to do"

Whenever I encounter a problem and want to solve it by developing something, the first thing that comes to my mind is searching for a product that already has a solution. Most of the time, I find one, even if it requires a combination of websites or apps that can do the job just fine. That makes me lose interest in the project I originally thought of.

So, if I continue like this, I won't have a software product of my own because there's already a made product for everything I can think of🙂‍↕️

Realizing that in 2036 we’ll miss 2026 the way we now miss 2016 feels almost ironic. The years we rushed through...complained about and called ordinary somehow become the ones we ache for most.

We were there living it..barely noticing, always wishing for something better.. not knowing we were already inside the moments we’d one day long to return to.

Time never warns us. It doesn’t pause or ask us to pay attention...it simply passes, quietly..until all that’s left is the feeling that we didn’t hold on tightly enough.

So maybe all we can do is live a little more...laugh a little louder and hold on a little tighter...because this..right now..is what we’ll one day miss

Hey, I’ve been working on something recently.

I’m launching Beyond the Classroom.

For a long time, I was focused only on grades… until I realized there’s so much more students can do beyond that.

This is my way of helping others discover opportunities, learn skills, and grow beyond academics.

I built a simple landing page for it link: beyond-the-class-room
If it connects with you, join @beyond_classroom and share it with someone who needs it.

Appreciate the support 🤝

Having GitHub Copilot Pro as a student is actually so useful tbh

If you’re a student, you can get it for free through the GitHub Student Developer Pack after verifying your academic email on GitHub.

The setup is super straightforward:

1. Go to GitHub and sign in to your account
2. Add and verify your student email (usually your university email)
3. Apply for the Student Developer Pack and wait for approval
4. Once approved, go to benefits and activate Copilot Pro
5. Install/enable it in your editor (like in vs code)...That's it.

So I tried signing up for Claude AI today and found out it’s not supported in this country 😅 which meant VPN mode activated. On top of that, it needed phone number verification… yeah, it got complicated real quick.

But this is where having international friends comes in clutch 🙌 Huge shoutout to my Bangladeshi friend Milky Way for helping me out today—you saved me fr.

Lowkey lesson here: build your network beyond borders. International friendships aren’t just vibes—they’re actually useful.

got confused with different ai models dropped every week ? know about categories of the current models , compare them through benchmarks and stay consistently updated.

N.B: categories also cant be constant all time coz each ai models is becoming multimodal

Hey fam, if you want to verify something that doesn't work in this country but requires a phone number, you can use this site to get temporary numbers.

https://temporary-phone-number.com/


From this website u can pick one phone number but u must try again again by changing the number most phone numbers are used for clouda verfication
Then u can get otp message after login in this website

We’re on a scavenger hunt for talent, but many of you are rushing the application and letting your profiles slide. If you just gave your profile 2 hours a month, you’d be landing dream jobs easily.

Stop tripping on the small stuff:
- Fix Broken Links: Don't send us to a 404 page.
- Refresh the Look: If your design is ancient, give it a modern facelift.
- Quality over Quantity: Feature your best, most presentable projects.
- No Placeholders: Replace "sample text" with your actual, real-world info.
- Explain the "Why": Describe your projects so even a non-tech person understands the value.

Don't just be the first to apply be the one we can't say no to. Polish your game!

Most people chase productivity hacks. Real builders know productivity runs deeper than that.

Here are 5 principles that actually move the needle:

1. Work with your biology, not against it

You’re not built like everyone else.
If waking up at 4:30 AM feels forced, it probably is.

📌 If you code better at night, schedule deep work then.
Don’t copy routines design your own.

2. Minimal Viable Action (MVA)

Procrastination isn’t laziness it’s overwhelm.

Shrink the task.

📌Not “Build full auth system”
Start with → “Create login endpoint”

Momentum comes after starting, not before.

3.You only improve what you measure

Tracking matters—but only if it’s meaningful.

📌Don’t track “hours coded”
Track → “features shipped” or “bugs fixed”

No tracking = no clarity.

4. Don’t fight your emotions use them

You’re not a machine.

When you care, you naturally go further.

📌 The projects you enjoy will always outperform the ones you force.

5. More is not always better

12 hours of work doesn’t equal productivity.

📌 4–5 hours of focused coding > 12 hours of tired coding

At some point, rest becomes the most productive move.

The real takeaway:

Stop chasing hacks.
Understand how you work, build systems around it, and focus on output.

🚀 We’re forming a DSA Learning community
(inspired by Blue Nile DSA community)

Staying consistent alone is hard, so we’re building a peer-driven community where small teams push each other to grow.

This isn’t a course or a place where someone teaches you everything.
Instead, you’ll be part of a team of 7, where you:

👨‍💻 Solve problems together daily
💬 Discuss approaches and learn from each other
🎤 Do weekly rotating presentations (1 person per day)
📈 Stay accountable and consistent

We’ll mainly use Python, working toward:
💼 Technical interviews
🏆 Competitive programming
🌟 Opportunities like A2SV

📅 Starts this summer

If you’re ready to stay consistent and improve with others, this is for you.

📝 Apply here: Registration Link

⚠️ Spots are limited since teams are small, apply early to secure your place 🔥

We created a Community for designers of all kinds, not just graphic designers.
