A quick personal reflection on building apps
It’s been a while since I stopped building random web and mobile apps. frankly, I got tired of building things nobody uses and getting zero return. even worse is getting those dreaded emails from MongoDB, Supabase, and cloud providers saying: "Your database will be paused due to inactivity for the past 2–3 weeks." why spend weeks building something that doesn’t move the needle? Instead, I shifted my focus toward finding what actually works in the market. Here is my perspective:
1. If you’re a beginner: Build whatever excites your curiosity. don’t worry about monetization or user retention yet. just focus on learning, breaking things, and building skills.
2. If you’ve been coding for a while: you need to start thinking commercially. the ultimate goal is solving real, painful problems and making money. In Ethiopia specifically, flashy consumer apps rarely gain paid traction. If you truly want to succeed here, look into like ERP systems and B2B software. businesses have real operational pain points and budgets to fix them. so don’t waste time building another toy project. think big and solve real business problems.

I really want to start hustling from the very first day of the new year... so what if I drop a new video now? 🙂
As we say goodbye to 2018 thank you, Lord, for Your protection, guidance, grace, and favor through both the good and hard times we passed through. All the glory belongs to you and this scripture truly expresses my whole year

⁹ የእግዚአብሔር እድል ፈንታ ሕዝቡ ነው፤ ያዕቆብም የርስቱ ገመድ ነው።
¹⁰ በምድረ በዳ በጥማት፥ የነፋስ ጩኸትም በሞላበት ውድማ አገኘው፤ ከበበው ተጠነቀቀለትም፤ እንደ ዓይን ብሌን ጠበቀው።
¹¹ ንስር ጫጩቶቹን እንደሚያወጣ፥ በእነርሱም ላይ እንደሚሰፍፍ፥ ክንፎቹን ዘርግቶ ወሰዳቸው፥ በክንፎቹም አዘላቸው።
¹² እግዚአብሔር ብቻውን መራው፤ ከእርሱም ጋር ሌላ አምላክ አልነበረም።

On my way to Addis ለበዓል and the guy sitting next to me is scrolling tiktok at max volume. here’s the playlist I’m currently being forced to listen to: 😭
ላግኝሽ ማታ ማታ እእ...
አሸበል ገዳሜ አሀሀሀ...
አውደ ዓመት እህህህህ አውደ ዓመት...
ከለከሉሽ እንዴ አንሺ ነይማ...
(Random Tigrigna track)
ወይኔ ወይኔ ድሽታ ጊና...
That wheezing laughing comedy sound
ጤና ለሰጠው ሰው እድሜው ላደለው...

just pray for my ears 😭
Something hit me this week is how AI has completely changed how CEOs and CTOs look at software development. It feels like leadership assumes AI does everything now, so they expect tons of features and fixes delivered in a fraction of the time. yes, AI does amazing things of course. but my real fear is what happens to production systems. developers (including me) end up rushing out fixes without truly understanding the root cause just to avoid hearing that's all you did? when management expects lightning fast turnarounds on tasks that actually need careful thought.
