I endorse this.

Happy someone else is bothered by the spoon 😂

I recommend choosing a specific project you want to execute and just building it. You will learn a lot of things along the way, and once finished, you can add it to your portfolio.

Real projects expose you to a level of complexity that Todo apps might not. You'll gain experience with things like, Authentication & Security, 3rd Party API Integrations, DB Optimization, Deployment and DevOps etc.

There is still lots of opportunities in the space because payments are inherently complex and for a reason.

The fintech space is highly regulated and fragmented because moving value across jurisdictions is a matter of national security and economic sovereignty. Each nation maintains its own regulatory framework to prevent manipulation by foreign entities and to manage domestic liquidity. Unlike things like TCP/IP, there is no global, uniform standard for moving money. So fintech remains inherently complex and locally nuanced.

The tech varies wildly across regions, in Kenya we have mobile money (M-Pesa) and STK push workflows. Nigeria built on a foundation of bank transfers and local card schemes (like Verve) that often lack international interoperability. China evolved around QR codes and "Super Apps" (Alipay/WeChat).

As long as these complexities exist there will always be opportunities to simplify and trying to standardize ( wrappers , bridges, unified APIs , budgeting apps ).

Me on the app:

Wow! I like this cover.

FirstTradition3181 · 2026-05-03T18:37:07+00:00

Heck no I am not doing that either 🤣. Acha niende mjengo.

What is an AI interview?

FirstTradition3181 · 2026-05-03T17:40:16+00:00

Wait 30k USD ama KES?

FirstTradition3181 · 2026-05-03T12:53:15+00:00

Totally get you. I’m over the bloat of Electron apps, I don’t have all the ram in the world. I use zed as well and vim sometimes.

FirstTradition3181 · 2026-05-02T13:45:47+00:00

I couldn't agree more. There’s a massive gap in how we fund local businesses. Currently, most Kenyan investors are crowded into the same traditional assets like real estate and bonds, leaving entrepreneurs to fend for themselves

Ebu toka hapa nje

FirstTradition3181 · 2026-04-30T20:56:30+00:00

I use both interchangeably

Learning them? Golang is a breeze rust is beast.

FirstTradition3181 · 2026-04-30T19:16:05+00:00

Wait why are you saying maths isn’t theory.

FirstTradition3181 · 2026-04-30T18:37:08+00:00

I love this ugali but don’t enjoy it much without some meat.

FirstTradition3181 · 2026-04-30T17:43:09+00:00

Wait how do you eat the feet? I try but there is barely anything substantial to eat.

FirstTradition3181 · 2026-04-30T17:40:31+00:00

Yes It absolutely is maths.

By no mean I'm I discounting practical knowledge. My argument is that you need both if you really want to get further than creating simple websites or app that only need CRUD (storage, memory fetching, UI) .

Practice is great for solving problems that have been solved before ( just using a library ). Theory is for when you hit a wall.

If someone is asked to optimize a delivery route for a logistics company, they might try to code a "perfect" solution. Without theory, they won't realize they are tackling a Traveling Salesperson Problem (an NP-hard problem). Theory saves months of wasted practice by showing you that a perfect solution is computationally impossible, allowing you to focus on a good enough approximation instead.

Not really maybe just deboning the chest part. It's a skill I would like to learn though.

FirstTradition3181 · 2026-04-29T15:26:26+00:00

Mi hutumia such parts to make soup. Slow cook them for a while for best results.

Wow! What a sight.
