What Should I Do Please, Please?? by Nobody: 5:47pm On Jan 15, 2023 |
I made a post about getting a Laptop with 50k before my account was banned here. Most developers here are telling me to still save it to 80k. This same advise I followed last year that made me to use money I have saved to do forex trading and lost the whole money. I have suffered in this life no doubt, and I have a also procrastinated enough to learn this web designing skill. I believe in what I can do when I am fully in tech by God's grace. If I tell you how I have been able to save this 50k you will cry for me. My house rent will soon expire I just need a laptop to start now and I am very sure of myself that I will get a job before the house rent expire cux the work I have been doing I use the whole money on transport most of the times, I don't even eat that much sometimes once a day sometimes just water sustains me. It hasn't been easy all the way. @truecoder I saw your reply about getting 8gb ram that 4gb ram would get slower but what can I do ![]() Please help me with your best advise. My mind is not stable at all. |

Only Javascript will humble you. You're going about this tech job expectations the wrong way. A 4gb ram laptop will work fine to learn HTML, CSS and Javascript, then you can also learn wordpress to be looking for side gigs to get a better laptop. Learning to code can fry your brain cells easily, now imagine adding desperation to it, and you'll burn out easily for expecting too much from yourself... I'm just starting too.. So it's my 2cents 1 Like |

Stephen0mozzy: Thanks sir. I have heard what you said but I can't just allow depression not allow me fulfill dreams na boss...so you say I can't use 4gb ram for REACT ![]() |

The laptop I'm using. I got it for 50k last year. An average laptop can do whatever I need. I don't know why people keep talking trash like getting a high rating laptop for beginner developers. What I feel is important as a beginner developer is the ram of your system, so multitasking will be easier. I'll be getting a bigger system this year and I'm not spending beyond 100k ![]() |

tollyboy5: What was the RAM of your system sir And what you were able to do with and if possible how you used it to manage the RAM Please help me with the questions boss |
Re: What Should I Do Please, Please?? by Nobody: 6:46pm On Jan 15, 2023 |
tollyboy5: Thanks so I can use it for REACT Give me tips to manage the RAM please. |
Re: What Should I Do Please, Please?? by tollyboy5(m): 6:47pm On Jan 15, 2023 |
tizzz:Core 2 350gb if I'm correct. 4gb ram. I write all my Laravel code on it. And I'm coding right now.

tollyboy5: Thanks sir It seems your PHP developer. Do you have any road map for me to follow and focus on. I can learn anything later but right now my goal is to use the resources I can get to fetch me money for now. Yes my goal right now is just MONEY I have passion for coding, yes, but now I just need money. |

tizzz:I don't know how to advice people. First know what you want to do before choosing a stack. Don't learn stuff because majority are doing it and don't learn stuff that will make it difficult to get employed in Nigeria. |

Here is the Laptop I planned on getting As long as you will stick to coding, I will advice you to get the 4gb ram laptop like that. From the specifications in the image you uploaded, I am sure the processor can support 8gb ram so I will advice you to buy the laptop now with its 4gb ram and save up to upgrade the ram to 8gb later on. Another thing I noticed from your write-up is that you are likely going to place yourself under enormous pressure to start making money in the tech space. Please note that learning programming is not a day's job and they are several occasions where you will get stuck and confused. I'm not saying you shouldn't dedicate enough time to learn but, putting yourself under pressure to start making money from coding will only discourage you on the long run when you start getting stuck in learning process. |

It hasn't been easy all the way. In the next 3 months the price of all laptops will go up. Try n buy a core i5 system. Find who go sell u on part payment.. If you can't buy core i5, don't go below core i3. Hurry up n buy bf the prices go up.. Dollar will soon rise agian.. |

It hasn't been easy all the way. This is why advising strangers is really risky and potentially bad. You came online, said you want to buy a laptop with a budget of 50k. You never gave context of what you were going through and why you had a budget of 50k I advised that you raise your budget to 80k so you could get one of the most affordable and best long-term laptops you can need as a developer. Now you open another thread to sound emotional about what you are going through and why you think advice from people in general and me in particular is a bad idea. Sorry for suggesting that you get a better laptop. You see that LG laptop you shared, it is a good laptop too. Make the payment today and start coding. Once again, sorry for advising you. 1 Like |

Op, I can feel the self-imposed pressure from the words alone. You have to relax and expect less. If you seek quick money, find a side job. Then balance it, and find time to learn. Can you repair laptop? You fit work phone? If you can, go join one of these workshops. Work as an apprentice and earn. Also try to keep your pockets taut. Be smart with it. Good luck. |
