Imagine @Shalom_HeyEliy #Lagoslife integrates VR at some point into the game, with their launch of game APIs.
The Meta world that @Meta wanted to build could just start from a Lagos Game.

I am writing an 8-part series on authentication and authorisation with microservices, using a real product I built as a case study.
A huge percentage of developers never get to see microservices up close, to get to know what it feels like. They know "monolith before microservices" but the "whys" isn't ingrained in experience or anything they watched up close. I am giving folks that opportunity.
Also, if you've built systems like this before, this is a good chance to learn another way of doing things.
I won't have a set cadence on the posts but I'll be as regular as I can.

Quick Question: How do you know a software engineer has a cat?
They start writing rendering engines to bring them inside their code editor. šāā¬
Ever since I adopted my cat, sheās been my silent co-pilot through late-night coding sessions and long daytime shifts.
Naturally, I wanted her hanging around inside my actual workspace.
When I searched for existing Neovim plugins to do this cleanly, none quite hit the mark. So, what started as a simple weekend project quickly escalated into building distract.nvim.
Weather effects, LSP-aware status animations, and integration with Codex pets assets.
The demo below shows it in action, importing frame sets/GIFs and rendering animated pets directly within the editor or on the editor.

Multi-Backend Rendering: Supports ā half-blockā , ā overlayā , and ā Kitty Graphics Protocolā to ensure smooth rendering across different terminals and operating systems.
Smart Greetings: Context-aware messages (e.g., "Nice! Thatās 20 days in a row writing Rust").
A couple of days ago, my shell startup felt sluggish.
Took a quick trip to my dotfiles and stripped out CLI tools I wasn't using (including Starship currently using), but it barely helped. I added a quick profiler to ā config.fishā and found the culprit:
a 500ms load time. (Yes, 500 milliseconds annoyed me.)
Stripping down my custom inits and functions brought it down to 31ms. The major main bottleneck? Conda initialization.
After lazy-loading Conda alongside ā fzfā , ā brewā , and ā zoxideā , startup is lightning fast
I also kept the startup timer in my prompt so regressions won't sneak up on me next time.
I know y'all get (Probably NOT) my obsession with dotfiles, inits, and clean configs.

Hey neovim usersš
With Neovim 0.12 introducing native package management, I built pack.nvim - a modern, zero-dependency plugin manager that delegates all cloning, checkout, updating, and lockfile management directly to Neovimās native C backend.

And thousands of others have done the same generating the trend he craves.
Heās copying and pasting responses and sending screenshot of stats his post has created as evidence of existence ššš.
Heās looking for engagements as the app is still here. 99% of of the group he spoke about do not know of the existence of the app, and knows how the group react to outright generalization accusations.
So, he took that path and has won. Iāve searched the app name and thousand
I unironically support the alleged Nigerian scammers in this case.
A startup whose premise is to pay poor people to submit their photos and data and use it to train AI models that will inevitably be turned into weapons or tools that destroy livelihoods so that a defense contractor in Silicon Valley can have 3 yachts instead of 2, is a startup I wish death upon.
I hope the Yahoo Boys get around this rudimentary IP ban and continue what they're doing until they make this startup insolvent or render its AI model unusable.

Graduates hear it all the time: āNo experienceā¦ but experience needed.ā
The Nigeria Jubilee Fellows Programme bridges that gap with 12-month paid placements.
Organizations get talent. Graduates get experience.
