I started my tech journey in 2023, I didn't believe in building in public because of my introverted nature until late 2024. And I didn't know how to build in public up until October 2025 I'm here to tell you that I've been earning 0 figures every month up till today. Help!😭
Yes I started my tech journey last year I mean 0 experience at all just HTML and CSS plus marketing and I have been earning 7 figures every month in Naira for a year now and I have successfully started an agency to help fellow newbies like me 😭. Most experienced devs don't market or sell themselves, typical shy guy, nerdy, quiet, mysterious and sorry to say it doesn't work anymore. It's too dangerous not to build in public in 2025. But Broke ones will rise again.

I wanted to say "there are 9-5's that are better than startups"... until I read till the end. I'm not even 'you' in 2012. E go far oh 🥲
I earned $120K a year working for Shell in 2012. Ten years and multiple promotions later, in 2022, that figure has doubled to $240K a year. In 2023, I stumbled on an internal, confidential, document that showed the salaries of my superiors. I saw that even if I were promoted multiple times again, the best I could hope for in another 10 years was another doubling to around $480K a year. This may sound crazy saying it out loud but that wasn’t cutting it for me. I simply didn’t want the next 10 years to be a repeat of the last 10. I wanted geometric progression, not an arithmetic one. On my 40th birthday, in 2023, I was asked to make a wish as a blew the candles on my birthday cake. “Get the hell out of Shell,” I quietly whispered. Months later, I was out. In 2024, my businesses grossed $500K; in 2025, they did $1M - geometric progression. It required me to be delusional about my abilities, to bank on the faithfulness of God and to trust that inner voice that always nag at me that I could be more, I could do more and I could have more.

Except you are a genius, you cannot learn how to code with AI, you need to watch tons of courses, practice multiple times, read boobs etc. And you are no genius, so quit the Claude taught me how to code bs and start learning.

I was bothered about my hairline, and the fact I'm bald, I saw a man with good hairline in a condition I wouldn't pray for. Na once I decide to lock in.

Who am I to advice someone on how to spend 7m When I've not seen 1m before.
I once made 7m Gave my dad 2m Gave my mom 1m Shared 100k amongst my siblings some of you are just wicked, how do you win and no one in your family knows?

Low key yeah, I don't believe my family sees my money till I'm very stable. Can't lie. It's not out of hate, but that move you'd make there is attracting responsibility you didn't call. You won't understand until you've done it twice, that's, when you get back on your feet.
You want to fight and leave poverty you make your first 7million naira after a long time of you locking in. You then decide to send your parents 3 million naira and your siblings 100k each when you know you might not get a gig anytime soon. Lmao guess what??? Never mind 😭

Bleeding from ideas!!
Someone needs to build an app called LinkedOut where employees share what it was really like to work at these companies.

Speed. The AI user is faster with task.
Serious question: How do you tell the difference between someone who’s good at using AI and someone who’s good at what they do?

I've come to confess. The most difficult part has been fguring out how to position myself, while trying to round up final college exams. But now, I think I kind of figured it out I completed my final exams in college and started YT content youtube.com/@theelance_dev
The aguero moments you want before the year runs out won't come from scrolling. They'll come from the messages you send, the work you publish, the people you meet, and the consistency you maintain.

How do you know it's been my password? I see what you've been doing
Someone’s gotta say it: it’s time to break up with the same password you’ve been using since you were in middle school.
