I’d advise you all go for SLTV instead. 5k max subscription and you’d get 95% of what DSTV offers + every sports channel. Moving from DSTV to SLTV had been on of my best financial advice I took early this year. Went from subscribing over 20k monthly to just 5k monthly subscription.

Regardless, don’t let any damn person speak down on you. I honestly pity newbies who constantly fidget whenever an employer threatens them. Sometimes, I feel it’s because many haven’t made a certain amount of money yet, so the moment someone pays them an amount they’ve never earned before, they start tolerating disrespect under the excuse of “I’m working for you.” Your salary is compensation for your work, not a licence for anyone to disrespect you. Respect is relative, yes, but there should always be a boundary. I resigned from a company two years ago because I noticed a pattern while working there. The HR and founder both had a way of treating staff that didn’t sit right with me. I paid attention, recognised what I was dealing with, and made my decision. I’ve also noticed this pattern among some Nigerian founders. The moment you realise that your staff are part of your success story, working with you to turn your long-term vision into reality, you should learn to treat them with respect. Let me tell you something. Whenever I tell people that I pay salaries, some of them are genuinely surprised. Yes, I have people I pay to get work done, and I understand the responsibility that comes with that. But not once have I believed that paying someone gives me the right to talk down on them or treat them anyhow. I believe in being level-headed, thinking things through before reacting, and not making decisions based solely on temporary emotions. If someone makes a mistake, address the mistake. If there’s a problem, deal with the problem. You don’t have to humiliate someone to make your point. Being able to pay salaries is not what makes you a good leader. How you treat the people who depend on that job to earn a living also says a lot about you. Never let the fear of losing a job make you forget your worth. Learn, grow, earn your money, and build your options. The more options you have, the less trapped you become. Your employer is not doing you a favour by paying you. You are both fulfilling an agreement. And to founders, if you want to build something that lasts, learn to manage your emotions and respect the people helping you build it. Your long-term vision means very little if the people working to actualise it are constantly being treated without dignity. Did anyone learn from this or got founders experience ? Speak let’s hear in the comment section or give a quote.

The update came very early than expected. I just checked through my mail now quite long now 😂 Unto the next wish me luck 🤝

As a software engineer building financial applications, one thing you need to understand is that when a user clicks “Delete Account”, you can’t always just delete everything from your database. There are data privacy rights to respect, but there are also legal obligations to fulfil. Let’s talk about it.

Light mode or dark mood ? @AuditGateHQ asks…

If I were to start Software Engineering all over again, knowing everything I know today, I would take a very different path. I wouldn’t start by chasing frameworks. I wouldn’t try to learn every programming language. And I definitely wouldn’t spend years collecting certificates. Here’s exactly what I’d do:

It may look like things have gone quiet at @AuditGateHQ. They haven’t. We’ve been testing. A lot. One of our recent tests was on a separate product that’s still being built, specifically a chat feature inside a marketplace flow. I used the chat exactly as a normal user would and dropped a phone number into a conversation. AuditGate picked it up. It flagged the exposed PII, identified the exact endpoint responsible, showed the evidence, and generated an AI-suggested remediation with the potential impact. That’s exactly the loop we’re building: Ship → Scan → Detect → Fix → Rescan → Score. Not periodic security scans that tell you months later that something was exposed. Not waiting for a pentest before discovering what your API has been leaking. Build. Ship. Know what’s exposed. Fix it. Keep shipping. We’re still deep in internal testing. More soon. This is just one of the things happening behind the scenes at @AuditGateHQ. @Zaheercoder @Abba_kakaa @TosinOlugbenga, are you guys free this weekend? I’d like to dedicate some time to walking you both through AuditGate. I want you two to be my very first beta testers. And to everyone on the waitlist, starting next week, you’ll begin receiving periodic onboarding messages as we open up beta testing. So stay calm. You haven’t been left out. We’re coming for you too.

Do you know there’s a difference between building a data ingestion POST API and a normal POST API? First thing first, you need to understand what it actually means when we say data ingestion API. It’s not simply a POST endpoint that accepts data. A normal POST API typically receives a request, validates it, performs some business logic, and returns a response. A data ingestion API is designed around receiving, processing, and reliably handling potentially large volumes of data, often with different considerations around validation, batching, idempotency, asynchronous processing, retries, observability, and failure handling. Well, to further understand it I’d advise you calmly watch this video below it explains the difference a bit. Watch it. You’ll understand the distinction much better.

I think at some point, literally most tech people have experienced being laid off or sacked. The day I experienced mine, I was genuinely SHOCKED. NO SIGNS AT ALL. That’s why I keep saying this: DON’T FEEL APOLOGETIC TOWARDS ANY DAMN COMPANY. Give your best. Do good work. Be loyal to your principles. But never forget: A COMPANY WILL ALWAYS THINK OF ITS OWN INTEREST FIRST BEFORE THINKING OF YOU. So build your career, your network, your skills, your reputation and your options. Because when the business decision comes, BUSINESS WILL ALWAYS COME FIRST.

I still don’t get how people casually call people by their names at places of work. Yes, I understand it’s all part of the work culture and company structure, but nahhh. I once worked at a company where a colleague literally called our manager by his first name. He walked in like: “Good morning, Tunde.” FGS, our boss was in his late 50s, and we were all in our early or mid-20s! Maybe I’m just too Nigerian for this thing because I genuinely struggled with it.

Are you guys still a bit unclear about what @AuditGateHQ actually does? Or do you truly understand the brilliance we’re building within the AuditGate team? Because there’s a lot more happening under the hood than what we’ve shown so far. We’re getting close.

I’m glad to say this: @AuditGateHQ build is now past 90% complete and in active testing. A friend offered up one of his builds for a test run on AuditGate before pushing it to production. We started with a passive scan. Within seconds, AuditGate flagged 5 vulnerabilities. As he moved through the app, more kept surfacing in real time. That’s the core of what we’re building. Findings show up as they’re detected, not after some batch job finishes. I also exported the full report for him, and this is one feature I’m particularly proud of. You get a complete audit document you can hand to a client, investor, or internal team showing exactly where your system stands. The result? 10 findings. 4 high severity. 0 critical. Health score: 39/100. We currently have 100+ people on the waitlist. I’m considering reopening it to bring in more beta testers before launch. Would you want to test this?

I said this earlier: “First thing first, as a founder, apply to Google for Startups, AWS for Startups, or NVIDIA Inception. They offer access to significant infrastructure, credits, tools and other resources that can potentially support your startup for a year or longer. It’s surprising how many founders don’t know about this.” Let me show you exactly how to do it, But before then bookmark and share with your timeline so they benefit from it too.
