I Joined the Hacktoberfest Week 2 "Side Hustle" challenge on @ThePracticalDev.
To build on open weight models and get a paying customer.
My question: can cheap open source models design AND code a decent landing page?
So I built Skulptor, an agent skill for exactly that. 🧵

I never really paid attention to open source but this year I am getting a bit curious about contributing.
Surprisingly no one is talking about Hacktoberfest like before.
What Happened?
Any tips? @Samson_Goddy @swacblooms

This is PAT, a Solana-based offline payment system.
You can reserve funds for offline spending. Sign PaymentIntents to the receiver when they lose connectivity. The receiver can scan the generated QR code or copy a payload to settle online.
The sleek UI is all @jackdotsol_
I just completed my first @solana app 🥹
Now testing, tweaking, and improving the UI. I’m so proud of myself. 🥹😂

It's always:
"Peter Obi is stingy"
"Peter Obi doesn't know how to play the political game"
"Peter Obi is too weak to be a president"
It's never:
"Peter Obi is corrupt".
"Peter Obi mismanaged funds".
That's a huge flex.
Go and get your PVC, you know what to do. ✌🏼

I added MCP to @styleslibrary_.
Now your AI coding assistant can search real website designs, inspect screenshots, and read colors, typography, spacing, and design systems.
No more explaining every visual detail from scratch.
Connect it to your AI tool and give it better references while you build.

Broda Shaggi spent 4 months in a Nigerian hospital after being hit by a stray bullet, but couldn’t get the replacement surgery he needed. He travelled to Dubai and got it done in less than a week.
Nigerian healthcare has a LONG way to go. 💔

I really need to get used to making decisions without overthinking the possible outcomes.
worst case scenario, I get a negative response, best case scenario, it changes my life.

How I stay consistent with my 365 Days of Code challenge.
A lot of people have been asking me how I manage to show up every day, write code, build projects, and share updates everyday.
Here’s what has helped me:
1. I don’t wait for motivation.
Some days I’m excited to code. Other days, I just want to rest. I’ve learned not to depend on how I feel. I show up regardless.
2. I work on real projects.
I’m not just coding for the sake of completing the challenge. I work on products, experiment with new technologies, fix bugs, and build features. Having something meaningful to work on makes it easier to keep going.
3. I document my progress.
Sharing what I’m building publicly gives me a way to track my growth. When I look back at older posts, I can see how far I’ve come, and that motivates me to keep going.
4. I don’t try to do everything in one day.
I don’t just wake up and start coding randomly. I create a plan for what I want to build and break it down into features I can implement step by step. This gives me direction and helps me stay focused.
5. I focus on showing up, not being perfect.
There are days when things don’t go as planned. I’ve learned that consistency isn’t about having a perfect routine; it’s about finding a way to keep moving forward.
I’m currently on this journey, and one thing I’ve learned is that consistency becomes easier when you build a system around it instead of relying on motivation alone.
You don’t have to do something extraordinary every day. Just make sure you’re moving forward.
If you’re working on a long-term goal, start today. Document your progress, stay accountable, and keep going.
I’m currently building Coddle Learn, an open source platform for developers and techies to learn, practice and build their portfolio.

After my engagements in Manchester, I honoured another impromptu engagement in Birmingham, UK, with a group of Nigerians having their annual general meeting.
Our discussions centered on achieving our collective purpose of building a New Nigeria that works for all, which is centered on tackling corruption and electing competent leaders with capacity, character, compassion and commitment, to unite, secure, and move the nation from consumption to production.
A New Nigeria is POssible. -PO
Honestly, I'm not satisfied yet. The designs still play it too safe.
But the progress shows more is possible, and I learned a lot very fast. Big thanks to @BackboardIO for credits and R-CLI coding harness, which handles every experiment.
