My life as an unemployed graduate has finally ended.
It’s been a month and a half full of rejections, trials, and countless "we’ll get back to you"s.
Shoutout to hard work, my never-give-up mindset, and most importantly—God.
Because truly, nothing happens without Him.
Finally got the job. 🙌

Well… I jinxed it. 😅
Turns out the company was too far, and their car couldn’t even reach my area. The shift started at 12 AM, and they were super strict with timing.
No way I was gonna find transport at midnight just to get there, so I told them I had to let it go.
Still, I passed their exam and gained some experience—so I’m taking that as a win. 🙏
Back to the job hunt. Hoping for a better opportunity soon. 💪

From now on, I’m planning to post a weekly to-do list. At the end of the week, I’ll share whether I actually crushed it… or if it crushed me.
The idea is that this will help me finish things faster—because right now, I have unlimited side projects, but only 1–3 are actually done. The rest are just… chilling in my “maybe later” folder.
I totally stole this strategy from some developer channels I respect the most. If it works for them, maybe it’ll keep me from drifting off into another “new project smell” rabbit hole.

The Coming Week (Week 1):
✅ Finish my current project
🚀 Deploy it (and pray nothing breaks)

Waiting for Resend to verify my domain feels like they’ve sent a guy on a bicycle to check my DNS records in person . By the time it’s done, my domain might be old enough to retire.😭
I had a wild day trying to optimize my Expo app's refresh rate. My genius plan: use Ethernet for the laptop and its WiFi hotspot for my phone. What could go wrong? Everything. The hotspot failed, I messed with DNS settings, and then my entire network connection went down. After 4 hours of debugging, I finally understand all those "Linux user can't turn on WiFi" memes. Welcome to the club, me. 😫😂
Finally wrapped up the MVP of my ASU Students App side project 🎉 (after fighting bugs harder than my GPA).
The app comes with a website for posting campus updates — news, curriculum, gallery, cafeteria schedule (yes, you’ll finally know when injera day is) and more.
The mobile app has extra goodies like GPA calculation (for those “uh-oh” moments), a social hub, and curriculum info — basically campus life in your pocket.
I built this because, as a fresh student, I had no idea what was going on half the time. Thought it’d be cool to save new students from the “wandering around like a lost Wi-Fi signal” phase.
Even though I’ve graduated, I feel like giving back to the campus that gave me so much. And yes, I’ve got another project cooking to solve more campus headaches.
Try it out before my server cries 🖥💀

How's your relationship with react?

Been grinding Angular lately, and yeah… I see the React vibes.
But here’s the twist: React’s like a jazz band you can freestyle a dozen ways and still call it music. Angular? Nah, it’s a symphony orchestra there’s one right sheet, follow it or get yeeted. Honestly though, it’s way easier than the internet drama makes it sound, and it’s perfect for massive projects. Might just sneak it into my personal dev arsenal… if it behaves.

Week 3 recap:
😮💨 Sleep schedule? Collapsed.
📉 CMS UI? Only half done.
📈 Side quest? Angular CRUD, UI libs & fake DB mastery → accidentally built a mini HR system (W).
So yeah… plans crumbled but XP gained.
Week 4 plans:
🔹 Re-focus & actually finish the CMS UI (circumstances willing)
🔹 Keep the morning workout streak alive (2 weeks strong 💪)
🔹 Retry fixing the sleep cycle
Consistency > perfection. One step forward counts. 🚀

Wait… just realized it’s Buhe today 👀🔥
Yeah, I know it’s already night but still — to whoever’s reading this:
"Melkam Buhe" (መልካም ቡሄ) 🎉🥳
Hope your code compiles on first run and your PRs get merged without conflicts 😅💻✨

this is literally the best site to brush up on any programming languages and other stuff you have learned but haven't touched in months or years. I'm reading the https://learnxinyminutes.com/c/ page and it's been very insightful in brushing up on C.. Check it out!

UI completed. It took longer than planned, but the foundation is set. Now comes the backend — the part I enjoy most.
I considered experimenting with MongoDB, but for the scale I’m aiming at and the experience I want to build, PostgreSQL is the right choice. It’s reliable, structured, and closer to what I’d use in large-scale applications.
Goal: deliver a solid backend within a month. Time to focus and execute.
