Trolling a company that once built tanks and fighter jets because of a Vision Pro is funny.
If Samsung tried again they’ll beat this. I love Apple products but this is way off 😂😂😂.

Just a random thought. I think every Nigerian bank needs a panic toggle for security.
Once you turn it on and open your bank app it’s shows a fake low balance and all transactions are stopped, no sms or email notifications come in too during that period until it’s turned off.

Dear designers, you know those fintech designs we usually do with crazy account balances. Leave it inside Figma.
If you have to post on social media specify that it’s a design but don’t keep it on your phone gallery. (Most especially if you’re in Nigeria)

Dear Introvert,
I know working as an introvert in tech can be pretty difficult.
You genuinely want to build great connections with people but really don’t want to feel like you’re “forcing yourself into someone else’s space” while still battling with imposter syndrome.

This is actually a bad use case for AI in a food app. Customers would typically expect the meal to look like what’s in the image.
Could have used AI to give calorie analysis for customers or suggest meals based on previous orders

I'm still in shock. I got a call from a random number so I called back and it was someone I had designed a logo for in 2017 and he didn't pay then.
He apologized and explained what happened and proceeded to pay almost 10x of what I had charged him then.
The crazy thing is
