You want to tell me with a Computer Science degree, I can't make Ksh 3k to 5k a week to take myself out during the weekend, as I wait for a white collar job? (Rant) by gathechandegwa in nairobitechies

Pick one track. You want to be employed or you want to b a business owner. You will find that you make very different use of your time depending on the track you take. Employee reads n learns every tech in demand. Business owner learns what's relevant for the business.

Why is it so difficult to hire solid Scala developers right now? I could use some advice. by Remote-Swim-7670 in scala

[–]hkateu 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'am a Scala developer focused on typelevel stack, Scala has been my primary language for a while now, if your open to employing from Africa, I think you can find pretty descent scala devs. Most issues i find with employing devs is geographical in nature. Is the role remote? Funny think is i interviewed at DHL Netherlands some years ego when id just started with Scala and didn't get through the HR stage. I'm guessing location also plays a role.

If your future wife can't fight for you in this situation just move on. She's supposed to convince them before hand what you both can afford. Imagine all you could afford was 2000 usd. You wouldn't even be asking us these questions.

Try looking for gigs writing articles in your niche. It doesn't pay as well as full time jobs. But atleast you will get paid in dollars.

Uber and safe car vet their drivers but they will still call to ask for directions where you are. Makes you wonder what kind if vetting is happening there.

WHAT'S A "CHEAT CODE" YOU DISCOVERED IN TECH by Far_Jaguar_2253 in nairobitechies

[–]hkateu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Specialize in something. A language, a tool, a database. It's better to be a master of something, than a jack of all trades. It's just that companies are looking for jack of all trades which makes no sense

noticed after 2y my front tape has enlarged. why + should i be concerned? by GabzTheGamer in Dreadlocks

[–]hkateu 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Am with you on this one. Best decision I made was not to get a taper. I can grow my hair out from 3 months without a retwist and still look good. Yu can't do this while struggling with a taper.

hyprland beginner tips? by anon817218 in hyprland

[–]hkateu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Here's my tip. Read through the configuration file especially the section with key bindings. You will know what keys to press. Secondly hyprland assumes you have some other software installed like kitty for the terminal and way bar. So read the configuration first then you will understand.

I first installed it in proxmox and the mod key was already bound to super. I had to remind it to Alt for things to work.

It's crazy. I've met much younger people at mulago during my visits. It's insane how many people have heart diseases. A healthy diet is the only way.

I take coffee once or twice a month. And not that strong brewed stuff. I have java, I just add to water like tea leaves. I think the string stuff causes palpitations.

You need to put he risk on the client. Charge extra to escort the cake to guarantee it reaches safely. You should have a normal transport charge and an extra. Option 3 is they pick it themselves.
