Is the timeline asleep?
Just published the 2nd article of my React Design Pattern series.
How often do you use recursive patterns in a React code?

As someone who attended uni in Benin City, I had up to 5 very close roommates delve into yahoo from our 2nd year.
Yahoo sells like hot cakes in these places. Those who are familiar with the South region know what I mean.
Fast forward to less than a year, 4 of them already
The difference between you and that 16yr old 'yahoo boy' is opportunity.

So people I literally just found out this awesome tool 😂
It's called "Blackbox".
- You install it as a VS Code extension
- Write a question and end it with "?"
- The extension will return the code snippet for that question
- You can press Tab to keep the code snippet

The problem is not tech. Tech is just like every other normal industry.
The problem is these bootcamps and online schools brandishing tech as a smooth walk in the park. They raise their expectations so high, promising them that they would land jobs and internships as if it’s
I feel your frustration, honestly I do 😂😂😂.
Must have had it so bad on your journey, sending you some needed hug🫂🫶🏾

You're not gonna stand out in the job search with just regular projects on your portfolio.
I got my first job because I built a video conferencing app.
Level up your projects, build a fully functional e-commerce, an NPM package, a chrome extension, a problem solving app.

In Frontend, you worry about:

- responsiveness
- browser compatibility
- device compatibility

If you’re asking why we’re taking this election so personal, then you’re myopic.
- We get rejected from jobs open to “EMEA” simply because we are Nigerian.
- Talk about police brutality we all experience from profiling alone.
- Talk about discrimination we face at airports

Frontend devs, few things to note when fetching API data.
- don't use 'await' with '.then', only use it with 'async'
- hooks do not usually wait for an async function to return state before returning data
- if you're doing client side data fetching, try using 'useEffect'.

I don't know who needs to hear this, but you can build browser extensions easily with your HTML, CSS and JS knowledge.
It's like building websites, but with a manifest.json file and background scripts.
Great kind of projects to have on your portfolio

I saw a joke on LinkedIn. Someone was asking why we need a backend, why can't the frontend be connected directly to the database.
A lot of people made a joke out of it but the question was valid IMO.
Short answer: it is non-secure in every aspect.
Long answer?

Hi guys 👋🏽
Come with me into my VSCode and let me show you the tools I use on a daily basis.
In no particular order:
1. Live Server: I use this for HTML/CSS/JS projects, basically my hot reload
2. Prettier: My code formatter and pseudo-linter
3. Import Cost: I use this

Exactly. A scammer won’t simply go cold turkey and turn a new leaf because you offered to teach them “tech”.
It is a mindset thing, sometimes cultivated from growing up in erratic environments, it’s not that straightforward to change them.

Typically for those who have learnt JavaScript and a framework e.g React, you might wanna proceed to either of these two options:
- Backend development typically with Node/Express
- Cross platform with React Native
Irrespective of whether you wanna be a frontend or backend dev

To become a better Frontend developer in 2023, I suggest upskilling yourself with the following:
- learn and master TypeScript
- learn Nextjs or Nuxt
- learn more about GraphQL
- learn React Native
- practice DSA
- perfect your CSS
- learn a bit about design and UX

There are languages beginners shouldn't even start with IMO.
Don't start with Rust, C++, C. They might make you more likely to quit, but if you manage to go on, every other language would seem like a breeze.
Start with Python, we're just using JS because that browser's lang 😂

Things I would love to trash out:
- using the command line doesn't make you smarter than one using the GUI
- MacOS isn't better than Windows for development
- Not every developer is introverted or anti-social
- No, we do not remember thousands of lines of codes we write

Tech “remote” job descriptions are so funny. It’s open to North and South America, and also open to Europe (≈5 hours time difference).
But it’s not open to Africa with the same time difference as Europe.
I still have 7 software engineer roles focused on TypeScript with 5+ yrs experience. Pay is 100k - 200k depending on location and experience. Open to North America, South America, and Europe. DM me for more info and I can get you connected to our team.

It’s official. The end of “create-react-app”. It was fun while it lasted but long overdue.
The React team now officially recommend using React frameworks like Nextjs, Remix, Gatsby and Expo (React Native).

- Not every project needs a heavy framework where we have to keep compiling multiple build tools.
Sometimes, a simple HTML/CSS and some JS will do just fine.
- PHP is the greatest backend language to ever exist
- TypeScript is over engineering, in most cases

There was a time I was struggling with understanding 'async await', there was also another time I struggled with 'useState and hooks in general'..
Now I use them like it's ABC.. Keep practicing, keep building, be consistent, you'll eventually understand every concept.
