Omo I’ve been having mixed feelings about doing a 2021 retrospective online. Mostly because 2021 was the best year of my life, but it was also my worst. It’s like the year shared itself in two halves – The first one being very terrible and the last one being overly amazing! This year, I fought a lot. Fought with my family, fought depression, almost killed myself, fought with my friends, fought for my identity, fought with myself as well. I never really talked about it once on the internet. I’d always post about tech, post banter or post my unsolicited opinion and everyone would assume I was ..read more

Adora exploring decentraland Hey there , I know I haven’t written an article at all this year . I’ve had a very eventful year, but I’m back now (hopefully) and today I’m writing about something I find interesting. THE METAVERSE. First of all, before trying to go deep into this article, I’m going to explain what the metaverse is (for people that don’t know – maybe because they live in a different planet). Earlier this year, Microsoft announced Mesh: A platform that allows people collaborate and communicate in mixed reality as if they are in the same space. Niantic also announced they are relea ..read more

As Software Engineers, at some point in our careers we are either going to be creating or consuming external APIs. In this post, I broke down the common HTTP Request Methods that exist today. What is HTTP? HTTP (full name Hypertext Transfer Protocol) is a protocol designed for clients applications to communicate with servers. Usually, a client sends the request and a server receives that, performs some action and sends a response back to the client. The response usually contains status information about the request and could contain other additional information. Other protocols exist today bu ..read more

Hey there, It’s been a long time since I wrote an article but I plan to get back to doing this often because I have learned a lot in the past few months that I would love to share with developers that are interested. One of the things that I have learned are about doing Infrastructure automation with actual programming languages that I use everyday. I have come to appreciate this a lot because this means that provisioning infrastructure for me means I have to worry about one less thing (learning a new programming language) that might not have been the case before now. Quick background before ..read more
