​THE INTERVIEWEE WHO HATED ME​

By
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...

Sharing Knowlege

By
One day, somebody asked "...what if you shared the knowledge you have about developing stuff ?... ", ok, I've just paraphrased the query. This caught me a little off-guard and got me thinking...should be like so. As developers, ok, as a developer I come along stuff that I call 'HARD'..to me. I dig for info and finally, some developer somewhere, philanthropic enough to share knowledge saves me. (I usually  say the grace here..lol  :) ) Now, as developers, what if we all share knowledge?? Everything would just go from weird to insane. I mean, all developers would appreciate. Now, How about the doc below??? It helped me integrate iPay Payment System in a site I was creating some day. Have a look. Might save somebody! Payment Processing Integration Manual Version iPay

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.

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...
