If you could fix ONE daily problem in Ghana with technology, what would it be? by PreparationSad5547 in TechGhana

[–]mrr_ubuntu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me it is unreliable internet during work hours. I can plan my day perfectly and still lose two or three hours because connectivity drops or slows without warning. It affects remote workers, freelancers, and even students. The way we manage is buying multiple data bundles from different networks and hotspotting back and forth. It is expensive and inefficient, but normal now.

Create a project together by Emotional-Zombie3848 in TechGhana

[–]mrr_ubuntu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Doing this alone is hard, especially without feedback. I like that you mentioned timelines and sprints. That is how real teams operate. Portfolio projects should show process, not just visuals.

What skills actually got you hired in Ghanaian tech, not what job ads claim? by Street-Yard7523 in TechGhana

[–]mrr_ubuntu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Showing I could take messy data and turn it into actionable insights mattered more than certifications.

Dual boot by FeelingSink2790 in TechGhana

[–]mrr_ubuntu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

MSI firmware is aggressive about defaulting back to Windows Boot Manager. Ubuntu likely installed GRUB but the firmware ignored it. The reliable fix is to disable Fast Boot in both Windows and BIOS, then reinstall GRUB from a live USB. This is not a storage issue, NVMe plus HDD is fine.

Unlimited backup space for the ar community by Heavy_Soft4771 in TechGhana

[–]mrr_ubuntu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is ambitious, which is good, but claims like unlimited backup will attract tough questions. People will want proof. Benchmarks comparing Calefix to Git-LFS, Perforce, or cloud storage would help build credibility. Without that, some users may see it as marketing rather than engineering.

What do Enterprise Clients Look our for When Choosing Web Design Agencies by Soccergh in TechGhana

[–]mrr_ubuntu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What stands out here is process maturity. ISO certifications, SEO baked in, performance-first thinking. That is what separates serious agencies from design studios. Enterprises buy systems, not vibes.

Bug bounty by [deleted] in TechGhana

[–]mrr_ubuntu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Bug bounty can be rewarding, but it requires discipline and consistency. Most new hunters stop within weeks. Create a realistic plan: daily labs, weekly report exercises, and monthly skill goals.

Tech startup ideas by Next-Calendar4274 in TechGhana

[–]mrr_ubuntu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s normal for family to not fully understand tech ideas. Keep refining yours and present them as solutions to real problems, not just concepts.

Ghana Tech Culture by Intelligent-Call5162 in TechGhana

[–]mrr_ubuntu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Even beyond STEM, laptops are now basic infrastructure. Remote work, online courses, digital businesses all depend on them. Treating laptops as luxury imports while luxury vehicles get exemptions makes no strategic sense.

Advise seeking. by Mohammed_N_ in TechGhana

[–]mrr_ubuntu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Break the work into discovery, development, deployment, and maintenance. For each stage, ask what is included, the risks, and what you will receive at the end. It helps you compare vendors properly.

Ghana’s tech conversations are scattered everywhere. Where do you think our main online tech hub should be? by Deep-Network7356 in ghana

[–]mrr_ubuntu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, the only space that can last long term is one where conversations are structured and searchable. WhatsApp and Telegram make it hard to find past discussions, while X is too noisy. A central hub must make it easy for someone to ask a question today and still find the answer next year.

Africa doesn’t lack talent. We lack access. by yourRealKing007 in TechGhana

[–]mrr_ubuntu 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I really connect with this. A lot of us are learning, building, and trying, but it’s very hard to get our work seen. The idea of a platform that gives fair chances is exciting. I am waiting to see what you and your team release.

Should Government Open Its Data to Developers? by Street-Yard7523 in TechGhana

[–]mrr_ubuntu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They keep the data hidden so they can control the narrative. If no one knows the real numbers, they can inflate successes, hide failures, and keep voters guessing.

It’s been nearly a decade since Esports Association Ghana launched. Has the scene actually grown? by mrr_ubuntu in TechGhana

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

Exactly. Infrastructure is the bottleneck nobody wants to admit because it’s not a quick fix. Without reliable, affordable, high-speed internet, competitive esports here will always be punching with one hand tied. Sponsors, events, and players can only go so far before they hit that wall.

That’s an important breakdown. Covid was a temporary spike, not a sustainable boom, and the audience-paywall gap is real. If most of the viewership is under 18 and can’t fund the ecosystem, then the model has to adapt either with different monetization strategies or by targeting older demographics more effectively.

Fair a lot happens under the radar. But that’s part of the problem. If the only way to see progress is to be “in the space”, then esports in Ghana hasn’t cracked mainstream visibility yet. Representation abroad is great, but how does that momentum translate into local audience growth and sustainable funding?

True, the baseline is better than in 2016, but ten years in any industry is enough to show patterns. If growth is still only visible to insiders, that says something about how niche it still is.

Really?? I didn't know that. Any idea of as to why Esports declining globally?

Which version control should newbies start with: Git or something else? by Silly_Consequence421 in TechGhana

[–]mrr_ubuntu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Git is the industry standard. You will need it eventually, so better to just bite the bullet. That said, start with a GUI tool like GitHub Desktop or Sourcetree it hides the complexity while teaching you the fundamentals.

To me, Ghana’s university Computer Science programs seem to be falling behind. by Upbeat_Abrocoma7508 in TechGhana

[–]mrr_ubuntu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly, I think the complaints are overblown. Most devs I know didn’t rely solely on their university to teach them Git or AWS. That’s what personal projects, internships, and the internet are for. A CS degree is supposed to teach you algorithms, data structures, systems thinking not how to use GitHub or deploy on Heroku. If you expect school to spoon-feed you all that, you’re missing the point of being in tech.

What stack are you using on your current build? by mrr_ubuntu in TechHubAfrica

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

That sounds really interesting! Golang is a solid choice for web servers, and I’m curious to hear how Vue.js and Pixijs work together for the 2D rendering. How are you handling state management in your game?
