Msiwahi joke about mental struggles.
That is a very dark place to be.
One day, you are very motivated. You code for 15 hours a day. The next, you can't even make breakfast. You lose the will to go one.
Referrals have been working for me since 2018.
I'm afraid I don't know how to look for jobs.
I easily get bored when the recruitment process is too long.
Every single penny I've made is through someone putting out a good word for me.
Karun aweke show kwa kitu kama auditorium hivi.
I want to sit down calmly and listen to her bend that pitch.
Halafu tuongezewe Elani, Mayonde, Kering, and maybe Gilad x Wendy Kimani for the old timers.
Somehow, Phy should be there too. Anyway, you get the point. Chill music.
I'm shocked watu most hawajui Internet si Wireless.
Starllink needs to connect to a ground station where there is fibre.
Starllink is like GPRS, but instead of using telecommunication masts, it uses satelites.
This means that fibre will be fast depending on your budget and...
My estimate is that over 90% of jobs on LinkedIn are not actual.
1. The companies want to grow their talent pool in case they need to hire in future.
2. They keep positions open to show that the business is thriving
3. Managers post jobs to increase morale, especially when they…
I know I'm in tech, but I refuse to make that my personality.
I'm not saying people that do that are wrong, people should do what they like.
For me, I find it weird to have a username like devstanley or stan.ts even worse stan.eth 😅
Thank you for coming to my TED talk!
Watu wa YouTube Vanced, Spotify Cracked, Torrents we know of those services.
Stop projecting your poverty on everyone.
Let people who pay for convenience be.
BTW if you have such people in your circle cut them off, they are dragging you down with their negativity.

The problem is not coding.
Code what? Netflix clones?
Omanyala is known for his sprinting, but so many sprinters sprint at night naked that no one knows of.
Omanyala sprints with a purpose.
We need to focus on coding/programming with a purpose.
The purpose comes from…
It is possible to make Kenya a global hub for software engineering.
It's obvious that we won't beat China and East Asian nations in cheap manufacturing.
But imagine if we had 1 million young people who can write code.
You are one of the million. Have a great coding week.
If you are a recently "divorced" tech bro, stop looking for a replacement. We need to hold a seminar to teach you the art of staying in relationships. You can't keep throwing money at your problems.
Introducing, boyfriend school - tech bro edition.
Stay tuned.
Nothing we do actually matters.
Achieving goals only excites you for a while, and then you're back to your empty self.
Whatever you think will make you happy will only do that for a second.
Learn to live in the moment ✨️
Unfortunately, life's not that way.
One day you're comfortable in public transport, you get more money and you start taking cabs everywhere because they are more convenient.
Soon, you will want to drive yourself because cabs are shared 🤮🤢.
After a while, the Mazda demio is not…
Being financially comfortable is enough for me. I dont have to be the richest, I just want to always be able to eat what I want , go where I want , pay my bills on time and give my kids a great life
If you're a self-taught dev, please learn a low-level language.
Not necessarily for work, but you're going to pick up a lot of computer science concepts from there.
She saw your texts,
Thought she could do better,
Ignored them,
Tried her luck with better options.
It failed,
She checked the trash bin,
And there you were.
Starting today, I will use Python in Production and React.js for my front end.
I will write Django, FastAPI and Next.js and style with Bootstrap CSS.
Productivity over street cred.
Halafu bros, stop hitting on women who don't want you.
No one above 22 is playing hard to get.
It is either they want you or they don't.
Mnaharibu jina huku nje weuh! 💀💀
Mnanunua HP gani hizo?
Apart from my Mac, my other laptop has always been HP.
I used Spectre 13 for years.
I have used Omen 15 for about two years.
Hizo shida mnasema sijui.
Imagine trashing all Samsung's because your Galaxy A11 is acting up?
Most new tech jobs are not in tech companies.
Look for roles in the those companies/organisations with boring names where tech is just a department in the corner. The downside of such places is that your tech career might stagnate because it is not a tech company.
There's a…
The Sudanese hackers are attacking our systems, and our tech guys are just chilling. Why can't the government invest in these guys?
So far, they're boasting of attacking the e-citizen portal, Kenya Power, M-pesa & claim to have stolen passports. Are our data in this country…
@Colourtrouble
It's because the feature was meant to be used with other Apple devices. You won't face a problem connecting your Mac or iPad to your personal hot-spot
I've realised that many entry-level devs need mentorship.
I know the journey can be confusing
I'm not a mentor but feel free to ask me about modern Web, mobile Web, Nuxt, Vue, Node.JS, JS, TS, Relational DBs and my newfound passion -product design
Software people.
Search "Craig Federighi" on Google and search your name.
Go back and search "Linus Torvalds".
How do you feel about your achievements?
Go get it.
Huku, I do DevOps as part of fullstack 😥
Sometimes, data analysis.
Jira admin.
I was a PM before we had a PM.
I'm an entire IT department bila hao watu wa WiFi password.
Let me see if I can find a team that sees my worth.
I need a PA and an accountant buana.
Burn rate yangu ni ya fintech startup, schedule imejaa kama taxin.
People think I'm ignoring them, but I just can't keep up. 😪

It's not just about moving around. There's more to it.
Tech Twitter. It is okay for people to have different opinions from yours.
When someone calls your favourite tool trash, make it a discussion, not a war.
Bring up those points so that newbies can pick them up.
This is a town hall.
Thank you 😊
I’m thinking of organising tech events that are not affiliated with any company.
They can sponsor the events if they want to but won’t have a say in the programmes.
Yeah I'm gonna miss seeing how her face brightens up whenever she gets them flowers from me.
I can still picture how she would try to hide that giggle and act gangster.
Weuh! Hii wiki nitakapitia.
Form 1 nilikuwa high school with over 97% Kalenjins.
I never felt out of place despite them being tribal AF. They used to call me "lemindet" most of the time.
I even learnt basic Kalenjin.
Huyo, anacomplain of tribalism in tech. I don't think ameona kitu. No offence.
You will be shocked to know how many applications are 'spam'.
Some people just apply to cast a wider net. They do not take time to analyse each job.
Out if hizo 700 may be 10 ndio wanameet qualifications.
This is why referrals win.
SAD TRUTH !
Kenyan tech jobs are saturated right now. Opportunities for developers are scarce.Being a dev is no longer lucrative. Now you are left to remain either as a hobbyist in tech or be an aspirant in those "754 applications in 6 hours" low paying jobs.
So huko Estonia, you can't graduate high school without having started a business.
Everyone has a "startup mentality"
It is part of the practicals.
It's too late for you, blud.

Unspoken rule: Usichekeshe girlfriend wa boys wako.
Hata texts hazifai kupita tatu na ni general topics kama corruption.
No hanging out with her without bro's knowledge.
You have those shiny gadgets because there's no gatekeeping in tech.
Can you build an OS? Sure, create it.
Do you want to create general intelligence?
Sure bro.
90% of the tools you use at work are maintained by people who sometimes don't make a dime from it.
Do you guys…
Oh I remember this other taxi driver saying I must not touch him, mzuzu im sitting next to him ku front seat🥺…
Telling me he has imizwa 🥹
I really thought he was talking about Sangoma stuff kanti imizwa is nonsense!
A random techie approached my desk with "You look like John Doe from Twitter."
Anyway, long story short, I'm going home now after a 2+ hour chat on tech.
He is a very knowledgable guy.
I'm gonna meet all techies one at a time.
Hi Kiprotich, your handle ends with a 400, which is an HTTP status code for BAD REQUEST.
That is not how software jobs are described.
You don't even know what you want.
Do this.
1. Brief information about the company. E.g. We sell mangoes
2. What does the role entail? E.g. We…
