This year, above everything else, just do the work. Stop talking about the work, planning the work, contemplating the work, or analysing the work. Put your head down and just do the work. It's easy to sit back and talk about the work. It's productive to actually do it.

you simply can't maintain a system that constantly makes honest decent people feel like they must be idiots for not defrauding their neighbors

Once you accept that discipline would fix your fitness, your finances, your skills, you are left with a simpler and more uncomfortable truth: Where you life is bad, it is often because you have chosen, repeatedly, not to do the unglamorous work that would make it better.

Everyday you’re closer to being ordinary than to being spectacular and that’s why you must rage against the dying of the light daily. You must not spare even a moment being mediocre. You must pursue excellence.

It is far more complex than this. You should read Zadie Smith’s 2009 piece “Speaking in Tongues” where she begins with a confession so close to mine it felt like a cousin speaking across water: “This voice I speak with these days…is not the voice of my childhood. I picked it up
I’ve noticed something. Dr. Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala studied at Harvard, ran Nigeria’s Ministry of Finance, now leads the WTO yet when she speaks, she is unapologetically Nigerian. Same with Chimamanda Adichie. Global mind. Nigerian soul. But watch some people who left Nigeria 6

Five points of how we can handle this! 1. Stop relying on IP-only rate limits Distributed bots make IP limits useless. Rate-limit primarily on identity (user, API key, session, device), with IP as a secondary signal. 2. Use multi-dimensional limits, not one blunt fixed rule
Your API is being abused by bots. A simple rate limit blocks legitimate users. Fraudsters are adapting, using distributed IPs. Havoc 🤯 How do you fix this ?

The problem with 🇳🇬 social media is that the intelligent people are full of doubts, while the ignorant ones are full of confidence

up at 4am and I genuinely don’t think that anyone should be bothered about who wins 2027 or 2031 again . Having conversations with Nigerians has radicalized me badly and this isn’t some elitist or naive POV . A critical mass of Nigerians deeply believe in bad ideas

@budgetOdogwu After a while you come to the understanding that we’re co-conspirators and not victims of this madness .. when the majority of Nigerians are ready for better outcomes . You’ll feel the shift

There’s a significant lack of understanding of probability. Seplat this, Seplat that, statistically, there’s a higher likelihood that you’ll die by 50 as a Nigerian graduate than work at Seplat.

Thinking “we should build auth from scratch” is usually a junior-engineer instinct, not a senior one. Here’s a more grounded way to think about it. 1. Auth is foundational, not trivial Authentication and authorization sit at the core of your system, but that doesn’t mean
Every engineer should be able to implement their own authentication. The fact that this is even a conversation is scary. What do you mean you can’t implement your own auth and must use an external or third-party service because some tech influencer told you it’s best practice?

This has been my major issue transitioning from aerospace to biomedical engineering. In aerospace, EVERYTHING is up for debate. you wana put the wings backwards on a plane? fuck it, Sukhoi su-47. Oh you want intermeshing rotors? Kaman K-max it is. In medicine, people flex their

Not to be dramatic but being financially stable requires the "selfishness" to protect your money from the emergencies of other people.
