Hey Guys, Hope y'all are doing well.
I have been really busy the past few weeks and i have not posted much.
I have been busy Building somethings....

I have been talking with one of my friends and we were talking about continious learning even while been at senior position.
And also how we can achieve it as well. So i have decided to do something.

You all are welcome to join on this process!!!
so mainly what we will do is something called : Project Based Learning which will enable us to focus on One single Project for one Topic and we will verify we have learned it by Finalizing the project.

So i have been searching for Platforms that can help me with this and i believe i have found the best solution for it. I have found it!

The platform is called: projectpro.io 🔥

Its what Big tech Companies use to upskill them selves. It have real-world projects that are being done by big tech companies and focus on data and ai related issues as well!

Best part is this, the Pricing for US people is crazy, the starter is $60/month($700/year) and it goes to $80/month($1000/year) for the full access with 1-to1 as well
so what the best part is they have a regional discount for Ethiopians and we are not using it

500 BIRR per MONTH 🔥 yearly for 4320 BIRR per year

I know its hard to believe but you can try it by using VPN and see the real difference

So what i will be doing is chose a Learning path from all the paths they have and choose one.

I am going for DATA ENGINEERING PATH

Best part again i can share all the resources in here and if you guys are interested we can learn together, i can share all the resources in here!!!

So what we are going to do next is start to maximize our skills to Staff engineer levels!! Juniors you guy can join too it will be very interesting!

Who knows we might build the next Better-Auth from 🇪🇹

I will share you guys the next details!

For those who are getting Banned from Anthropic, i have found a better alternative to use claude code without Opus4.6 but almost the same results using it and fraction of the price...

Saw tweets on big AI names just walked out this week and it’s honestly starting to feel like a pattern.
Anthropic’s Mrinank Sharma [ Head of Anthropic's Safeguards Research ] quit because the world’s drowning in overlapping disasters and he thinks the company was quietly watering down the safety & integrity stuff he actually cared about.
Then xAI co-founder Jimmy Ba bounced, gave Elon a polite thanks, and casually dropped that we’re about to see 100× productivity jumps thanks to recursive self-improvement loops going live in the next 12 months. oh and 2026 is gonna be completely unhinged for humanity. wth.
Also yeah, that’s now 6 co-founders gone from xAI. Half the original team has already jumped ship. it seems like we out here flooring the gas toward recursive superintelligence while pretending everything is chill lol. There is weird patterns guys

Mrinank Sharma resignation letter

If you guys are using opus 4.6 for this thou, say good bye to your credits....
However Using Minimax M2.1 model with Claude code is the best way to go for this way 💯
