​THE INTERVIEWEE WHO HATED ME​

6 years ago a guy looked at me face to face, and boldly told me; "I don't like you!" I immediately fired a response, I asked him that day; "Thank you for the honest feedback, but those that you like, how has it made their life better? How does your liking people pay their bills or take a bank loan? My brother keep your like, I need God's like And that's what guarantees my future. Today I joined a CEO friend of mine in an interview Panel to recruit some new staff, it was a long session, as we returned from a coffee break to continue the hectic interview session, here was this same guy walked in with his grey jacket and CV coming for the interview. Our eyes kissed by fluke, we immediately recognised each other; "the world is indeed spherical", I soliloquized. He felt very uncomfortable through out the interview, one could clearly see the volcanic eruption ongoing in his whole nervous system, he even mistook his date of birth for his last date of empl...

Application Security

I like development more when I know my application will be subjected to a bigger audience either for tests or use. I bet every developer likes this at some point. I hate large numbers during development when the project itself is behind schedule though...because this is when you complete modules for ticks & gram and not fun.  Sucks. So, networking...I liked it also because of exposure. Was exposed to this environment so much. I did lots of it. Later found out I was working with less and less materials. I had nothing, in terms...

Web Development

Hey pato, hope you are cool me calling you that. am titus and i got to know you online. i started self learning web development at codeacademy.com about 3 months ago. at the moment i know a little bit of html5, css3 and just started javascript. before deciding to do web development i had zero programming skills but i wanted to learn because at that time i found myself spending a lot of time online. i also wanted to have a career change. i've seen your website and what you've done is really impressive. you really know your stuff. the reason am writing to u is to ask; is web development something to do that can lead to a career, especially here in kenya/ nairobi? i was in mombasa but i've relocated to nrb now! 2. how long did it take you before starting making good web applications? 3. did you teach yourself online or you went to school for a degree/ diploma? 4. when learning, how did you stay motivated? because some of the things are quite hard, especially javascr...

Learning

When I signed up to do what I do best, I knew stuff...I still know, but some(stuff),  you learn. To some people, it's a hard process to withstand, to others, learning is what they ever wanted...(I fall here). Usually, humans like it when you do something once, and you don't have to redo it again - this is where programming comes in -  but in learning, you have to have the zeal if you need to have skills and knowledge. Simple example : When you register for 'Blogger' there are tutorials and directions. Depending on color sometimes,  I end up not reading anything but instead click around looking for what I want. The question is, You want to learn and complete a task or to merely complete a task? Any wise developer should learn to be patient, giving ear and attention to whatever that concerns him/her in the respective domain. By learning, you don't have to buy a big book, bulky indeed.. it's that one act you observe being done by somebody better than you, an...
