Hey guys... We need to host a space tonight because there's so much to celebrate 🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳
Sorry I'm announcing it late but I was so busy becoming a HNG finalist 🥹🥹🥹
There's lots of gist and rant to go round 😂
See you there 😊😊
This year has been especially great for me in a lot of ways
- I got a laptop
- I started ALX
- I made some really great friends
- I learnt C!
- I started my podcast
- I learnt other programming languages
- I've still been crocheting,
etc
One of my best yet
Everyone says this year was bad and they never want to experience a year like this again, can you share some good things that happened to you this year?🥺
On the 20th of February, the wonderful journey of alx began for all
@alx_africa
cohort_13 students. Congratulations to us for making it this far🎉🥂💃
2 months done, 10 more to go🎊🥳
Soo excited 😁
Just bought an MTN router🥳🥳
Most times when I try to host spaces, they crash because of network issues. One Saturday, I tried over 6 times and it crashed every single time😬
All that time, I was using an Airtel mifi...
Can't wait for my next space 🥳🚀🚀
HNG Internship 11 has ended today, with 500 extra-ordinary finalists out of 30,000 who started the program. If you're a finalist, quote tweet this!

Last week, I realized that as much as C is a practical language, there are also a lot of theories one must understand (hence the 800-paged books😅).
So I decided to change my approach to learning C from "Practice first and understand later" to "Understand first and then practice"
What is the time difference between 2am and 5am? You may say 3 hours and that would be correct but with

printf project, it's just a wink😅😂
Cohort_13 how is your printf project going?
Meanwhile, mine is as seen in the picture 😂😩😂
The joy of seeing this email today 🥹🥹
Soooo glad I made it this far...
ALX has been tough but it's made me tough... More than 6months of doing hard things and I wouldn't do anything differently💪.
@alx_africa
thank you for the opportunity 🙏
I'm also grateful for the people...
The "simple-shell" project has been the most challenging one yet for me in
