Today, I woke up with a slightly grounding feeling: those that attended Grand Prix o, those that didn't attend.
Those that have been to Dubai, Monaco and Monte Carlo, and those that have never left Yaba.
All of us reading this will be dead within 100 years tops.
What's the point? Live your life in gratefulness and joy, and stay content with God's gifts and his provisions.
Within your ambitions, stay grounded.
CAREER HOT TAKE: Learn how to negotiate for benefits more than you negotiate for salaries.
If your salary is $600 per month, sometimes instead of negotating for $700 especially when you know that the budget for the role is fair, call out things that will make your work easier. It could be:
> fueling for your car if you need to be on site at the office.
> data or platform subscriptions that will enable your work, and so on.
The real thing that finishes salaries are those 'minor expenses' that compound very quickly. Deal with those expenses through articulating them as provisions that will enable your work.
You'll come off as organized as well as a leader material.
That's how I joined Microsoft that year and was jumping bus until I realized one of my colleagues was using Uber from her kitchen to her bathroom. Knowledge is key.
Even if you don’t believe it, we are all affected by what people think. It’s why you can’t set rules for yourself and live by it, even when it avail you a level of freedom and happiness you wish to attain.
I have been coding with AI for a while with little or no issues. A few things I've realized:
> working with an existing codebase is better than building from scratch.
> knowledge of architectural patterns like MVC, MVVM, is super helpful in given AI context. Foundational knowledge of architectural basics is important. Algorithmic basics, not so much.
> imitation is better than creativity with AI. You want to create a modal? Supply a reference image, etc.
> after every debugging pass, create reusable documentation as a .md file using this prompt, "based on all our back and forths create a documentation that led to this working solution in .md." after which, copy and paste to your Obsidian vault or preferred platform location.
This is useful for payments and similar integrations.
> ensure you have a local build of your solution (especially a local db) so AI can do a build and test locally before committing changes.
The above are some lessons so far that will boost your productivity coding with AI.
The only reason you're hesitant to post your knowledge on social media is because you over estimate the knowledge out there.
You overestimate the knowledge people have because it comes easy to you. In fact, you see some posts on X and wonder, "that's easy information, people don't know that?"
What I've found out is that ASSUMING no one knows what you know gives you the confidence to put yourself out there.
You gerrit?
