If your backend responses feel sluggish, these common code issues are often the reason. In this thread I’ll walk through 19 practical ones, with a clear way to solve each. No hype, just useful fixes you can apply. Bookmark if you work on backends. Let’s get into it.

It is now evident that Ruto surrounds himself with "yes men", or how else would you explain his reaction to a reality check from Standard Media Group? Guys, if you wanna make it in life, surround yourself with people who tell you the truth. You need that employee who will tell you that Kenya does not need another M-Pesa wrapper. Or Banking the unbanked only sounds good when saying it from air-conditioned offices with 1 Gbps internet. On the ground, the farmer just wants to sell their surplus potatoes to pay for school fees for their kids. They don't even care about the internet, let alone blockchain.

Kitambo web development,web designing and graphic design used to be a well paying job! But since AI advanced and platforms like claude came in,hapo ndio watu walipoteza kazi.. Saa izi you can vibe code your own portfolio/site and deploy it on Github ata kama hauna any experience

@ItsJeffreyJeff I'm not sure Vibe coding really gets you far when you are really in debt to understanding the fundamentals... I believe the market space is in dire need of web engineers with expertise who can build things with an AI-first approach....

Production Code Isn’t Harder: It’s Denser 👨‍💻 I've seen a massive shift in how programming is taught vs. what production codebases look like Learning has isolated concepts. Production code stacks the same ideas with structure, state, and scale in mind The gap is applied context

Hey folks 👋 I write your JavaScript so you have time for JabaScripts...👨‍💻 DM for Custom Software Development..🤑

There’s something people call “backend developers” vs “backend engineers” But let’s be honest it’s not just about building basic CRUD APIs Ever thought about how Netflix streams stay seamless How X pushes notifications to tens of millions of users in real time How Stripe processes weekly payouts at massive scale without people randomly missing funds If you really think about it the job goes way beyond endpoints and controllers So here’s the real question Are you actually a backend engineer or just someone building APIs, I want to hear your takes?

I will say this just be skilled and vocal u will be seen I am a perfect example only a few can chat me in the tech and I decided to cave my own path otherwise u will be pissed by how communities and everything is run around Ukijulikana its easier

Kenyans are gatekeepers by blood... you be working in a crypto firm here in Kenya only to realise the one in charge of all East Africa operations is a Kenyan in Mombasa Living the life...huku Twitter ni kama nothing goes on juu ukiona Linkedin ya Saruni utashtuka sana

Stop writing logic in your controllers!. Stop writing logic in your controllers!!. Stop writing logic in your controllers!!! That’s exactly why the service layer exists. Controllers should mainly handle the HTTP layer: receiving requests, validating inputs, calling the appropriate service, and returning responses. Business logic belongs in the service layer. Keep your controllers clean.

@Raynerdtech Let's say you're on Django and writing MVCs... So even though it is server-side rendered. The views here get data from Python Controllers. In some way, writing these views is still frontend work... Isn't it??

There is a GitHub repo that activates Windows for free. It has 178,783 stars. GitHub is owned by Microsoft. Microsoft has not taken it down. For six years. The repo is called Microsoft Activation Scripts. It is run by a group called massgravel. No real names. No company. No address. Just a blog at massgrave.dev and 7,311 followers. It activates Windows 7, 8, 10, and 11. It activates Office 2010 through Office 2024. It activates Office LTSC 2024. It activates Project and Visio. Four different methods. One of them activates Windows permanently. Here is what Microsoft charges for what this repo does for free. Windows 11 Pro: 199.99 dollars. Windows 11 Home: 139 dollars. Office Home and Business 2024: 249.99 dollars. Microsoft 365 Family: 129.99 dollars a year. Forever. Microsoft 365 Personal: 99.99 dollars a year. Forever. The repo: zero. One command. Forever. Microsoft raised the 365 Family price from 99.99 to 129.99 dollars in 2025. They said it was for Copilot. Microsoft raises Business prices again on July 1, 2026. The repo went up zero dollars in 2025. The repo will go up zero dollars in 2026. The repo will go up zero dollars forever. Last commit: one week ago. License: GPL-3.0. 178,783 stars. Hosted on Microsoft. Activates Microsoft. For free. Do not install it. (Link in the comments)

Kenyans are really hard working when it comes to tech, there's just not alot of PR on their great work ethics. the kinda of dedication they put into learning and working is top notch.

I like the hype of crypto but it lost its original promise. Using crypto in centralised wallets is just FIAT with extra steps. Authorities can raid Binance at any time. Kenya has some crypto bills coming up making crypto just Fiat that’s slow. Visa can do over 22k tps. Crypto needs to back to its original promise. It did not feel practical at first but the industry needs to keep trying.

Did that Nigerian mbiti ever manage to clone Jumia in two days with Claude ?

Using systems languages for web stuff makes you appreciate the web things many take for granted. A straight forward thing like serialisation and deserialisation takes some work. In Laravel, you would just ```php $user = User::find(3); return $user ``` In a controller and "magically" you get JSON. That's it. It will automatically use content negotiation to know JSON is needed. You can of course add these conveniences to your Rust web app with time. Of course it will even be better with proc macros generating the boilerplate. But then, you will be a user of that particular tools and not Rust. I've talked about how it is possible to be good at Laravel but suck on PHP. I prefer Axum to Actix web for this very reason. Abstractions are like quick sand they will one day burry you whole. Axum works well with my philosophy. Every web app is unique. Instead of forcing your business logic to work a certain way, the tools adapt to your logic.

@file_mutex people who dont read the code are not serious people and it takes a serious person to ship production software

Nani huyo anaita mwenzake lazy halafu github yake ikichomolewa anasema github ni ya mafala😂

@your_javaguy Congratulations man!

I think programming is amongst the things that make humans close to God, you can create whole worlds, entities, spirits, helpers though people will call them new words like agents, bots, websites but on all in all its an eco system even with its own concept of time...

What is programming? In my own words,,, I think programming is like building a maze the you understand, when you have a project working, and that you solve it, when you need to extend, or iterate on the project. Self declared mystery!
