You're just incredible π
The tech industry is changing fastβbut not in the way most people think. By 2026, success in engineering wonβt be about chasing the newest tools or stacking buzzwords on a rΓ©sumΓ©. It will be about depth, ownership, and usefulness. Hereβs a grounded l...

Introduction This article shows a complete setup on how you can verify a signature sent by paystack when they make a POST request to your server. I'm using the bun http router as my go lang framework. I really do not have strength for long talks, so ...
Funny title, but that's the reality from January to December. So, you're here to hear some gist about my 2023, say less.
First I just want to take a moment to laugh small, ππππ why? the plans I had for 2023 come be like say na small pikin write am, because none of those things really happened.
Secondly, 2023 in conclusion was a rough one for me.. what I ordered was not what I got but in all things, I'm greatly to God for not shaming me regardless. I really wish I had enough strength to give more details about how each month went, the ups and downs, and the stories learned and taught π.
A lot more happened but this is all I can remember, happy reading.
Physical Status - Had zero major problems, hit the gym like it was the last, and added some flesh I struggled to gain thanks to supplements and of course, muscles to steal your babe.
Mental Status - This particular period when I lowkey could not help being unproductive coupled with confusion. This happened because, for a long period, i inhaled so much camphor and did not realize it was messing me up mentally.
Spiritual Status - I understood more that everyone needs to have where they get their power from ( Babalawo included), just pick a side.
Social Status - Someone I saw as a big brother scammed me and I had to end that relationship. Connected with more females than ever this year (don't get me wrong but feel free). Linked up with my previous employee. Convocation happened.
Financial Status - I barely saved this year. Cost me over 10 Million naira to go through the year in one piece.
Career Status - My Contract expired around April and I did not bother applying for new roles particularly because I was not prepared for that mental stress just yet. I completed all freelance projects except one. Started a new role around November. I was in Lagos for OSCA Fest 2023. Tried making sense of my startup πͺ. Spoke at Devfest Owerri and Polygon Guild Enugu.
I'll spend my time upskilling and improving on existing skills. And making good money. 2024 would make it 7 Years in Tech (clap hand for Jesus). For a long while, I've always wanted to do some ethical hacking stuff, so 2024 is the year of cybersecurity with a focus on Cloud Security, Penetration Testing, and network engineering. I'll recommend you do the same.
I hope to help more people as much as I can in 2024.
I also look forward to daily income.
My Catch phrase for next year would be "Hide your devices", e get why.
