From Code to Calling: Part 2 — From Projects to Products
First of all — wow! 🙌 The support, comments, and kind messages I got after my last post were honestly overwhelming in the best way. Thank you to all my friends and connections here and on LinkedIn — you made me feel heard and seen. Truly.
This time, I want to talk about a shift that hit me recently: Modern software development isn’t just about building projects, it’s about building products — tools that solve real-life problems for thousands (or even millions) of people.
Let me ask you this 👉🏾
Have you ever been stuck on a problem, then found out you're not alone — that hundreds of others face the same exact issue?
Well, that’s a product opportunity.
These days, I’m fascinated by what’s coming out, especially AI-powered solutions — and not just globally, but right here at home in Ethiopia 🇪🇹.
From AI tools that assist with Amharic document translation, to systems that help farmers predict crop success, to platforms that improve logistics and ride-sharing in Addis, it's clear that innovation is happening around us, not just in Silicon Valley.
And no, I'm not (yet 😅) a product manager — but I've got ideas and passion for building things that matter. I’ve started thinking:
✅ Is this app just cool to build?
✅ Or is it something people will need, use, and pay for?
Even basic ideas can be powerful when built with local context in mind. Like:
A mobile app that helps vendors at Merkato track daily sales
A digital queue system for public offices (yes please!)
Or a tool that reminds Ethiopian students of entrance exam schedules and resources.
We don’t have to wait for Silicon Valley to solve Bole traffic or Yenegew Sew’s plot twists 😅 — we can build our own tools, with our own understanding of life here.
So, let me end with this: 👉🏾 What software product do you wish existed in Ethiopia?
Drop a comment — I’d love to hear ideas, collaborate, or even build one together!
Thanks for reading ❤️
To be continued...

Let me tell you a secret — I once fixed a printer problem, gave a design review, helped write a marketing post, and then switched back to debugging API errors — all before lunch. 😅 I used to box…

It's a common concern for many people, especially in creative and technical fields like software development. The rise of powerful AI tools can feel like a double-edged sword: they can dramatically boost productivity, but they also raise questions about skill erosion and over-reliance.
Here are a few strategies you can adopt to use AI as a powerful assistant without becoming overly dependent on it:
1. Use AI for Brainstorming, Not Final Solutions
2. Learn from AI, Don't Just Copy
3. Focus on High-Level Architecture and Problem-Solving
4. Set "No-AI" Challenges for Yourself
5. Use AI to Learn New Skills, Not Replace Them
