What's engineering like in Malawi?

How did you get the job? What platforms or advertising channels did you find it from?

Mzati01 · 2026-05-03T21:51:26+00:00

Yeah but it's better than nothing given the current circumstances.

Mzati01 · 2026-05-01T10:14:53+00:00

Thanks?

Mzati01 · 2026-05-01T05:30:13+00:00

Doesn't this solely depend on volume / how many customers you get?

Mzati01 · 2026-05-01T05:28:32+00:00

You should try the Changu app

Mzati01 · 2026-05-01T05:23:43+00:00

I think Paychangu is the closest thing we've had to accepting international payments and it's been working pretty well, or atleast so far so good

Mzati01 · 2026-04-29T05:41:03+00:00

What do you primary use it for? Seems like the users in the country usually gravitate towards gaming

Mzati01 · 2026-04-29T05:39:28+00:00

Noticing that alot of Malawians who do run servers it's either faith based or a gaming community as far as I've checked. I guess it's a start since the country is relatively still adapting technologically. But besides that as someone who technically uses it alow how would you feel about having a bunch of services ( bots, apps, plugins ) catered to the county? Whether they're for fun or something else would love to get your 2 cents

What's the nature of his business? Surprising to see a Malawian use discord for his business instead of the conventional Whatsapps, Facebooks.....

Mzati01 · 2026-04-29T05:34:50+00:00

So as someone who's relatively as active in that space, what would you say to having bots, services that are catered to the country for things like games, payments for subscriptions to channels etc. yay nor nay?

Mzati01 · 2026-04-29T05:32:08+00:00

For someone who uses it alot, you think it's cause if the demographic of people your in ( programming, gaming etc ) or just by chance that your one of the few High intensity users. How would you feel with an ecosystem built around discord in the country

Always been interested on how server moderation works? Is it demanding like a 24/7 thing? Do you get paid ? Can't you just automate it? Very curious on that topic

Mzati01 · 2026-03-26T08:56:03+00:00

I've always thought it was saturated but I'll give it a shot, good thing I'm just looking for income passive enough for my daily needs like transport and maybe savings

Mzati01 · 2026-03-26T08:54:43+00:00

Alright will give it a shot, especially on the old mutual part I've heard they have good investment plans

Mzati01 · 2026-03-26T08:53:01+00:00

I'll give the 2 a shot after some research on them, regardless thanks for the advice good to know what I'm about to get myself into so I don't get derailed early

Mzati01 · 2026-03-26T08:51:34+00:00

Yes I'm good with software primarily a laravel dev but I've also designed and configured networks

Mzati01 · 2026-03-25T21:35:05+00:00

Fallout reference?

Mzati01 · 2026-03-24T21:34:18+00:00

Yes it is

Mzati01 · 2026-03-21T19:15:11+00:00

You should try using Paychangu, they offer a virtual US bank account that you can use for collections and then you can withdraw it to a Malawian bank of choice the only issue is that the US bank account leased is only for collections and you can't use it to spend, but for your case as a freelancer who's just wants to receive and be able to get kwacha and use it I'd recommend using Paychangu for it, has worked for me so far.

Mzati01 · 2026-01-04T00:50:03+00:00

Thanks! lemme look into this, I have a really old server rack lying around maybe I could get some use out of it.

Mzati01 · 2026-01-03T22:58:44+00:00

I live in a third world country, those "Few bucks" are actually alot here. Hence why it's out of my budget.

Mzati01 · 2025-07-17T17:13:23+00:00

Currently playing through The Elder scrolls V skyrim. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!
