MAJOR JOHN IS IN THE ROOM

Today's meeting was the best 🔥

#Recap 🚀

Had an amazing time at the dev meetup. And honestly didn’t expect it to be this good.

Met Sanyi and we had a really great conversation. Sharp mind, for real. A kid with a potential of building Google from scratch. Appreciate you bruv👏 And yeah… I might be older but still shorter than you 😭🤣 ገና ልጅ ነህ ታድጋለህ, I’ll be the one stressing instead 😅

Had a solid discussion with Yeabsira and Nafyad about internships. We didn’t fully agree at first, but your perspectives were real and not sugarcoated. I respect that a lot. And I agree with your pov 🙌

Also got the chance to talk with Major John from the game dev community. That was a big moment for me. The way he broke down game development... all the different roles and paths... completely changed how I see it. Definitely not what I expected, in a good way. Looking forward to meeting again, maybe at the next game jam😉.

Met a lot of new people (and somehow even found a classmate I’ve never noticed before 😭).
Eyoba you’re genuinely one of the best person I’ve met. We’re not done talking and we will meet again soon 😁 አንላቀቅም
Kasmase, great time as well. And to everyone else (Mahlet, Nafyad, Eyael, Eyu, Jo, Henok, Fraol, Bonson, LUTO, Bruik, EKD) it was honestly a pleasure meeting you all. From strangers to real connections 🤝

Big respect to Mo for organizing everything. Without you, this wouldn’t have happened. And yeah… some of those questions were wild 😂 glad I dodged one of them 😭

This was my first dev meetup… and now I already want another one😅

Great people, great conversations, unforgettable experience ❤️

People really think working 8 or 10 hours a day is hard, and yeah, reading, coding, and doing stuff for that long does sound exhausting. But when you think about it, after graduation most people work at least 8 hours a day, and a lot of them still look for extra part-time jobs too.

So while we’re at gbi, we should realize how precious this time is. It’s time we’ll never get back, so it’s better to use it to work on ourselves.

the moral of the story አትቅበጡ😁

🚀 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.

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

🚨 URGENT: An Ethiopian Dev is #1 in the World - We Need to Hold the Line! 🇪🇹
Selam devs,
A 24-year-old solo developer from Addis Ababa just beat 10,000 global teams to reach the finals of the Amazon (AWS) AIdeas Challenge.
He built Ivy an offline-capable AI tutor for Ethiopian students on $80 Android phones.
Right now, Ivy is Ranked #1 Globally. But a massive corporate team from India is only 29 votes behind, mobilizing their universities to overtake us tonight.
We cannot let Ethiopia lose this. The US has Silicon Valley. India has Bangalore. Ivy has us.

Manifesting Thursday's exam to be postponed so that i will attend the 3 days forum

hey y'all we hv test java ena this week then i tried to search and to know does java worth it? then it wasn't as i expected it is far beyond i thought it was a dead language and what is ur comment on this programming language WHY Java Still Dominates in 2026

1. Trusted by Big Companies
Java powers mission-critical systems in banks, airlines, and global platforms. When failure is not an option, Java is the choice.
2. Built for Large-Scale Systems
With tools like Spring Boot and modern frameworks, Java is perfect for building massive, complex applications (e.g., e-commerce, banking systems).
3. Cloud-Native & Future-Ready
Java now runs efficiently in cloud and serverless environments. Faster, lighter, and more scalable than ever.
4. Android Development
Millions of Android apps still rely on Java (alongside Kotlin). It’s not going anywhere
5. Big Data & AI Infrastructure
Java powers systems behind big data tools and distributed computing. It may not replace Python in AI, but it’s the backbone of data systems.
6. Used in Robotics, IoT & Finance
Where reliability matters most → Java is there.

7. Modern & Evolving
With latest versions (Java 21, Java 25):
Virtual Threads (handle massive tasks easily)
Better performance
Cleaner code
8. Massive Ecosystem
Over 1 MILLION+ libraries available → you don’t start from scratch.
