Tech Nerd

Man, sometimes I feel like the Ethiopian startup scene is just stuck in this endless loop of pitching, raising money, and doing it all over again—without much of that engineering fun, you know? It’s like the focus is more on playing the bureaucratic game to secure the next round of funding rather than building something truly innovative or technically exciting. Don’t get me wrong, there are companies with cool engineering behind them—like Gebeta Maps, Teraki, and a few others—that could totally scale and sell to markets outside Ethiopia. And yeah, building for the international market is 100% an option, especially since technology is democratizing resources like never before @selfmadecoder

We should totally have a nerd house in Addis, no bureaucracy like local startups just curious mind trying to solve a world problem ( not only Ethiopians ). @selfmadecoder

Can you feel the Aura @selfmadecoder

FYI : “Nerd” isn’t an assault 💅

I'm planning on building something from this repo while streaming live wdt ?? https://github.com/codecrafters-io/build-your-own-x @selfmadecoder

Just so you know I can't build this .. it's not my area of expertise 😁 @selfmadecoder

Why don’t we (here in Ethiopia) have a legit dating app? Forget those Tinder clones, our culture isn’t the same as the West. Or maybe it just won’t work here at all? But honestly, this feels like the perfect time for it. Internet access is everywhere now, and it’s way cheaper than it was 3-5 years ago. People are more aware and ready for good UX, they’d adapt in no time (just look at how TikTok blew up here). It doesn’t even have to be just a web or mobile app. But I feel like if we don’t figure this out, the next generation will still be stuck with the same problem. So, what do you think? 😁 @selfmadecoder

If you're not progressing you're regressing @selfmadecoder

Aight, we got someone new joining the channel community! 😁 @happygearr is starting his own channel! I’ve known him since high school, and been friends for a while. This dude is different, super chill, but the way he simplifies things is insane. He makes even the hardest stuff look easy, real minimalist with crazy potential fr. He’s starting off his channel now, all about animation, modeling, and Blender. exited to see him start posting! Oh, and he’s also an architecture student at AASTU, so go check out his channel, definitely worth it! 🔥 @selfmadecoder

If you're starting your personal channel or just got started, let me tell you something—you don’t need 10,000 people to write about what you like, what you do, or whatever’s on your mind. This is a blog, not some viral content factory. Whether you have 1,000 followers or 10, it really doesn’t matter. Just be yourself and write. No need to drop your channel in every group chat. And if you're thinking about monetization, come up with a better plan. From my experience, it’s way better when people find your channel organically instead of you spamming every chat. Just some brotherly advice. @selfmadecoder

Is it just my family or does yours also love watching National Geographic? Sometimes I can’t tell if they’re watching a mystery thriller or just animals doing their thing. 😂 Don’t get me wrong, I like nature too, but it’s so intense sometimes! @selfmadecoder

i gotta change my GitHub contribution graph to a 3rd quadrant triangle @selfmadecoder

I think this song describes my situation better than if I wrote it myself. 🥰 @selfmadecoder

Human beings need human interaction with each other. @selfmadecoder

About to try the coolest (and hardest) gesture animation I've ever done in React Native. No clue how to do it yet, but I’ll show yall the final result when it’s done! ⚡️ @selfmadecoder
