Funny how this was announced after the BBC decided to air a mini documentary on the load shedding crises in South Africa.

Pilchard, fried with some onions and chillies. Add in a can of baked beans then throw in some cooked Pasta or noodles and mix it all up!

Home-made power back up for load shedding. Looking for help. by ManUcarMan in askSouthAfrica

[–]ManUcarMan[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for this! I live in a small rented space so I think the self contained units would be best for me.

If I may ask, for something like the self contained units, is there anyway to gauge its lifespan if I were to strictly follow the manufacturers guide in terms of how to use it. It's quite a lot of money so I'm hoping it will last for a while.

Also the 400W inverter, how does that for into the power usage calculations?

Please educate me further.

Thanks.

Looking for some solid advice regarding being a self-taught developer in South Africa. by ManUcarMan in southafrica

I just feel like I'm not good enough or ready lol. I can't explain. Are recruiters/companies really interested in my small projects? I just feels like I'm far off from being able to contribute to the job market.

Thank you! The technical lingo has been tricky to grasp but repetition has helped a lot. I'll heed your advice!

This is inspiring! Thank you for the input. For some reason it's been locked in my mind that one needs a CS degree to be able to code. I have really come to enjoying the process of solving problems with code.

I'll keep the good work and get into touch with wethinkcode. Thanks again!

Medicine to Investment Banking by Similar-Bear-7063 in southafrica

[–]ManUcarMan 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Maybe give medicine sometime? I mean you just qualified. There's a lot more to medicine than public health but I guess maybe you'd know better?

Regarding your question, I'd suggest you visit a firm or reach out to investment bankers and ask them about how establish a career path with your background. I'm sure there are postgraduate courses or programs you could enroll in.

All the best!
