J'ai l'impression que l'IA a permis à beaucoup plus de personnes de créer des logiciels, et c'est une excellente chose.
En revanche, je trouve qu'on perd peu à peu ce qui faisait aussi la richesse de notre métier : la communauté.
On voit moins d'articles techniques, moins de conférences, moins de partages d'expérience, moins de débats passionnants entre développeurs. Beaucoup construisent des projets dans leur coin, en silence.
Le développement logiciel devient plus accessible, mais aussi un peu moins social. Et je pense que c'est un aspect qu'il ne faudrait pas perdre.

Paying 35,000 XAF/month for @blue_by_camtel Optical Fibre, yet we face atleast 1 week of trash or ZERO internet every single month for years!
We're literally 100m from Camtel's Littoral HQ & main antenna, should be super fast, right? Wrong!
This time, it’s 2 full weeks of nothing, even after renewal. We can’t even Load a webpage!
Switched to Orange & MTN to survive, MTN actually works (barely). Paying ALL THREE subscriptions for what?!
Today we are Suspending/cancelling Camtel indefinitely.
@Camtelonline @blue_by_camtel Cameroonians deserve reliable internet from the main provider.
Do better! 🇨🇲💔

Just the results from one polling station. It’s symbolic of course but very representative of what we have seen all over Cameroon.
🇨🇲. It’s not just a victory, it’s a tsunami.

Dear HRs, change from the habit of not acknowledging emails. You've placed so much demands on candidates and yet fail to fulfill your own demands.
Two things I expect from an HR:
1. Acknowledge emails
2. Follow up candidates.
You are not doing a candidate favor for hiring them. This is business and you are depriving the business of great and experience candidates.
Also, if you are candidate, know this is business. You don't beg or look desperate. Negotiate what is right for you.
There's no difference with the hiring process of a 9-5 and looking for a customer in a local market.
Repost for an HR to see..

DevOps is not a role.
It’s a culture.
If devs only ship, and ops only fix.
You don’t have DevOps.
You have a handoff problem.
DevOps = ownership across the lifecycle.

Want to instantly level up as an engineer?
→ Read your database’s documentation
→ Learn how queries actually run
→ Understand what causes slowdowns
Most bugs live in the gaps between your code and your DB.

Junior-level engineers write good code.
Senior engineers write code that drives business value.
If your PR looks great but solves the wrong problem…
It’s still bad engineering.

One of the most important life skills you must learn to develop as a young person is "how to process issues."
Many people lack this skill.

Becoming a world-class software engineer is brutally hard.
From Africa? Multiply that by ten.
Here's your exact blueprint to break through and build a global career in tech:
Master fundamentals. Excellence isn't optional.
Build real projects that solve actual problems.

Most people learning software engineering today are doing it wrong.
They’re learning tools — not engineering.
If I had to start from scratch in 2025, I would do things VERY differently.
Here’s exactly how. 🧵
