OMG OMG OMG! 🥳🥳 I just got a "Congratulations on making it through the interview process email"!!!! This paid internship I just got is my first official role in tech!! I'm crying fr

I love how this one turned out! 😍

Oye 🥰

Stacy Kimatu's Coka Mucie is what stands between me and cutting people off 😭

I'd like to connect more with Kenyan devs who want to build their own businesses, provide services, etc. A job can't be the main goal for everyone, right?

Is Kidato not your startup? This would've been a statement of you and Kidato offering a gadget and enrolling him on a class. Which would've been way better marketing imo. But instead, you're chasing vanity metrics like retweets. Anyway, this retweet is for the young fella.

I just searched for a product online, this ecommerce site I finished building last month is already ranking at number 4!! Sheesh. That just made my day 😅

In case you missed it amidst all the chaos in tech twitter. Paystack finally went live in Kenya. If you're integrating any payments, you'll thank yourself for picking them first.

It's almost a year now since I decided to fully transition into tech. Yoh, what a journey. I wasn't sure I'd reach here tbh. I'm definitely going to get lit on September 26th!

I have the biggest cheer leader in my daughter fr. I'm having this technical interview and she just said back to me the words I always tell her when she has tests. 🥺 I'm going into this with the power of family. I just hope the fast and furious franchise was right 😅

What this take misses is context. How many Kenyans are consumers of XR products? Let's not even go to XR. How many Kenyans even understand the spectrum? Let's go even deeper and ask about higher-education and the skill gap between CS students in Kenyan universities vs Harvard.

That laptop was so important and crucial to my software engineering journey I don't really know what I'm going to do next. 😭 If you see me give me hugs!! I need them

And I made it out as a finalist!!!! 🎉🎉

I don't get this. I remember going through a really rough time with my partner and people would just say niwachane nao niende zangu. The thought physically hurts my chest 😭 I would cry myself to sleep when I couldn't be there for them. It's really embarrassing being a man.

The brilliance that is Kenyan Women in Tech is being felt! Love this for our own

My Bijou just turned 6 today. She's a girl of many firsts. The first child, the first grandchild, and the first great-grandchild. I walk with my head high because of you. How can you not with such a trailblazer of a daughter. To many more, my silly friend 😅

This actually makes my imposter syndrome worse coz I'm like, yaani ata siwezi muster audacity kama hawa wengine. Then I spiral 😅

Am I finally a tech bro? Here's a long-ish read about a brother trying. 👇🏾

Second on the list is 👇🏾 Jack of all trades is a master of none, but oftentimes better than a master of one.

Yaani topic this week huku ni how poor people don't deserve friendship, love and families 😖 System imetufail na instead of us holding it accountable we've turned to perpetuating it.

RenderCon will always be special. A first for me and for the team!

Engineers working on these kinds of problems are in touch with what's happening in their society. Make those mama fua apps, make mama mboga apps, make solutions that track government spending, make those apps that make it cheaper and convenient for us to basic things.

Yeah I had a quick minute to create one 😅

Your boy made a presentation 😅

We have problems. Most of the problems we need to solve as Kenyans are not necessarily high-tech problems but systemic and infrastructure problems. We need food, we need access to services, we have so many systems that need to be improved.

He took the photo and it exists in a material form, he automatically owns the copyright.

I got my stickers!! Mission accomplished 😅

I actually meant a sus. A Suspicious... Brand ni MSI 😅 Bora niko healthy niko fiti

I must have missed the part in the Nextjs documentation that said you "can't" fetch data from a route handler in a server component. I decided to start by creating api route handlers. Now we have to refractor this thing for all server components.

The problem is with how government institutions procure. Wasipoweka tender and they buy the licences wenyewe they might be in trouble

It's the love for me 🥰 Thank you all!! Never seen this kind of numbers before 😅

Men used to write poems!! 8 years ago I was writing poems and recording them all night long!!! This night right here was epic. A turning point in my performance career. I was young and full of heart.

Did the trick work? 😅 I'm working on something awesome. Who wants these on a t-shirt or sth?

The developer experience I'm having with Flutter is actually nice. From the dart's types to the documentation. The JS ecosystem could never tbh

I finally realized why these PHP devs are driving lambos... The codebase is sprinkled with dollar signs everywhere. Every variable starts with a kaching!! 💲💵💲

4 years ago I was doing some YouTube stuff. Just looked at the cosed captions and oh my!! The name of the channel was Akuya Knows. Tell me why YouTube got to do me like this 🥲🥲 Call me A Queer Nose from now on then...😂😂

I'm happy the doors opened up. I know this kind of passion coz I used to write code on A4 papers when I didn't have a laptop. I retweeted for your child. I wish I could do more. I was just pointing out how cringe I felt with the way Kidato's founder went about it.

No one does education like Webflow!!!

Do you know the compilation process for C programs using GCC?? Here's a quick thread with everything you need to know.

I've seen her work, her monologues and her effort to try different characters and break out of a mainstream typecast. I wonder if you've seen any of her work outside mainstream media. This is very unkind. I'd argue not even true. Why? I'm genuinely curious

Jack of all trades, is a master of none. But often times better than a master of one. They always forget that last part.

If you hear me say fear women, I mean it with the same reverence people do when they say fear God. Worship at their feet. Sing praises to their name. Offer bountiful sacrifices on their alter. Build temples in their honor. Seek their guidance. That kind of fear. 😅😅

wI was in a staff meeting last night, the manager was complaining, the creative had excuses, the bookkeeper was slacking. All inside one man's head

About to start a project, and I'm here wondering whether I should hold on and hear what they have to say in Next.js Conf 😅 This is a problem, right?

Ikr? There's a whole geometrical universe out there. Why just angles?

Sketch: Pen & Paper or Photoshop Design: Illustrator & Figma Frontend: HTML, CSS, Javascript & Next.js Backend: Node.js Database: MongoDB Hosting: Heroku

It's in the community. Constructive feedback from artists of all disciplines, common spaces, a small but really supportive audience for your art. Upgrade Poetry and Nakuru Players Theater were a great sandbox for me before coming to this city.

I'm so tired right now but still very proud of myself. Today, 21st of February 2022, is the day my kasmall kiosk received its first 6-figure deposit. Workload imedouble but me I'm grateful bana.

To my people, I'm okay. Just under the weather a bit, anxious a bit and opening that green app has been hard. I'll get to it when I muster the strength. 💖

I was on YouTube for a whole 2 weeks looking at Ombre tutorials, ordered a bunch of stuff I can't even remember, and we were set for a lazy Sunday of me doing her manicure 😅

Our cohort started with 44,000 people. After the probation, we're down to 4000! That alx program is no joke.

I remember joining HNG9. Barely had my JS fundamentals let alone React in place. I'm still going to do this year's HNGx coz that experience was amazing. Above all I really built my grit! At least this time I know to think of it as a game 😅

New Achievement Unlocked!

Someone thirsty saw you with a water bottle and asked you for some. And when you (pretend to) pour it into their cup, they realize that the water bottle was empty all the time.

Huskii KPLC watarudishia wasee stima individually mkilipa household tax 🥲

You got more kamande?? 😅

Happy Birthday, Rix!! You made it possible for me to perform poetry in Nairobi for the first time. I met so many amazing people from Fatuma's Voice, the platform you created, and those are one of the best years of my life. Have a good one! 🌻🌻🌻🌻

git commit -m "ma-one two"

Hio interview ingeishia hapo. The headlines would have changed to... 'Missing Child Airlifted Moments After Returning Home'

😂😂😭

I really stretched myself this year. - Learnt web development - Building 4 websites for clients - Got into AR - Hired for the first time - I touch type at 80 words/min - I designed apparel - I got a day job when it got tough - Took my kid to school - Started therapy, I'm healing

My ka-small business is officially turning one later this month. 🔥🔥 I was just doing some bookkeeping when it hit me. My wins - I've consistently averaged a salary of 30k - Bought a decent work computer

I've been having issues with my weak laptop 😩 So I just decided to work from Github's codespaces and damn. I'm loving this DX. Glad I gave it a try. Let's see how it goes.

I look so attentive with my laptop hapo second frame 😅 Good student 😅

This is exactly why I advocate for range. Make sure you've worked in communications, design, sales, tech, entrepreneurship, etc. The more you touch, the more empathy you develop for people.

I decided to use sql over an orm's "dsl" for the current project I'm working on. Loving how I get to work on writing sql with this. Just realized how much I've been used to abastract from the DB.

Unkempt is such a weird word. In other news, you've debugged enough for the week. Happy Friday Eve!

I feel like Elsa when working with Android Studio coz everything's Frozen 😣

With React Server Components picking up and looking like the future for react. I gotta say, I'm loving the concept of lifting state up to the url. I'm implementing search and filter for a tours and travels client I have and I'm not using 'useState'. Paradigm shift alert!

Can't wait to be building stuff just for fun like this.

I love it. Solving your own tiny problems is actually very useful to a lot of us. Subscribing to a weekly notification or alert based on county might be a great feature.

Mean/average should be used when the distribution is fairly symmetrical. But with outliers or when the data is skewed, median gives a better representation of the center. Also, a lot of journalists pick whichever figure agends to the agenda 😅

Wow, I didn't think you are Turkana. You're not thin and malnourished 🤬

The day is finally here!!

Ash I almost died making this 😭

Kitty + Neovim + lazygit

It has never been clearer to me, but how, when, and to whom you launch your product too is much mooooore important than how fast you do it. The PearAI launch was horrible! Can't trust those founders with anything. They might be great, but not careful enough to trust
