#TelegramSecretSanta2025

And my Secret Santa was @mr_naty… let me tell you, this dude gave me one hell of an experience! 😁👌. It all started with an app he developed specifically for the game. When I opened it, the app showed me a map and prompted me to go to a specific location. Following the map, I ended up at an Indian restaurant called Korak around Bole. And guess what? I got to try Indian food for the first time!

But that wasn’t it—after the meal, I had to open the app again and solve a series of puzzles. It was wild! I had to decode a Base64 string to find a word that served as my password to unlock the gift. Finally, I got my gift, which turned out to be: A 1-month gym membership (in cash), 30 eggs, 🥚 The source code of the app

Seriously, it was such a fun and creative experience. I loved every single part of it! And to top it all off, we even paid 2000 ETB for kita and Indian doro wot 😁🔥. Man, this was hands down the best Christmas experience ever!

First off, thanks for differentiating between having a degree and actually pursuing something to learn and grow. My real problem with education (and I’ve said this a thousand times, and I’ll say it again) is that it takes the fun out of failing.

How on earth are we supposed to evolve as a society when we’re stuck in a system that not only discourages failure but actively punishes it for not following the same old ways?

The main reason this whole 'skip school and get rich' mindset is trending these days is because society measures success by money (which is honestly sad). Let’s be real: education has become the last thing people think of when it comes to making money.

The solution? Change the whole 'education for money' narrative. Start teaching kids for the sake of knowledge, creativity, and a better future. Give them a mission—like making humans an interstellar species. Inspire them! Tell them if they become doctors, they could cure diseases like cancer, instead of just promising them a paycheck.

Because let’s face it, the numbers don’t lie. (If you don’t believe me, go check the net worth of some TikTokers here in Ethiopia 😁… for what?) Let’s stop fooling this generation into thinking school is all about making tons of money. (Not saying you can’t, but that shouldn’t be the point.)

My point is: money should be a by-product of knowledge. If not, we’re in big trouble as a society. We’ll end up with geniuses who are broke and (sorry to say this) dumb people with a camera on TikTok, spending their days insulting others while sitting in houses full of money. To me, that’s an apocalypse.

Since the post is pretty long, I went ahead and generated this voice with AI so you can listen to it instead 😁.

Last week, I built Linksy—a web app for sharing your post links from various social media platforms. I also recorded a demo. Here's what the Linksy demo looks like:

Hey, what's the best site to watch movies? less buffering, and no ads would be perfect. Help me out!

@selfmadecoder

saw the movie and i now got the context ..

By taking the fall for Harvey’s actions, Batman literally brings that quote to life. He ruins his own image just to keep Gotham’s hope and faith in goodness alive.
The movie shows that being a hero isn’t all glory, it comes with a cost. Heroes aren’t perfect; they’re just people, and their choices usually come with some tough moral trade-offs.

Movie Name : The Dark knight
