AI can help junior developers learn faster, explain complex concepts and even debug their code. But could it also make it easier to skip the fundamentals? We want to hear from you 🫵 Do you think AI is making junior developers better, or are we becoming too dependent on it? Pick a side in the comments.

2. Learn, but don’t get stuck learning. It’s easy to spend months taking courses, watching tutorials and saving resources. At some point, you have to actually make something with what you’ve learned. 3. Build proof of work. Don’t just say you can do something. Give people something to look at. A project. A case study. A design. An article. A campaign. A GitHub repo. Something that shows what you can actually do.

4. Ask the right questions. Instead of asking: “Where do I start?” Try asking: • What skills should I focus on first for the role I want? • What should I have in my portfolio to show I can actually do the work? • I’ve tried this already, but I’m stuck here. What am I missing?

A lot of people think tech simply means coding, so they spend months trying to learn how to code before they even consider any other thing. But there’s so much to do that doesn’t involve coding, such as product management, UI/UX design, marketing, sales, community, customer success, technical writing and so much more. So If coding isn’t your thing, that doesn’t make you less of a techie. You just need to find your niche and where your skills fit.

Angular has evolved greatly over the last few years. So there’s no reason for you to be stuck in the ancient ways of managing state and forms when there’s so much modern angular can actually do. @babatundelmd , Engineering Manager at Flutterwave and a Google Developer Expert in Angular, is bringing an intense and elaborate session to DevFest Lagos: “Signals, Resources, And Signal Forms: Composing Modern Angular End-To-End.” He’ll walk through how signals, resources, and signal forms fit together to give Angular developers a cleaner, more predictable way to manage state and build forms, from the tiniest component to a fully composed application.

Writing integration tests for Flutter apps can suck up just as much time as building the app itself. But what if you could actually skip the code entirely? At DevFest Lagos, @H3ndrick_ , Senior Mobile Engineer at Snag, will show a different way to approach Flutter testing. In his session, “The Agentic Shift: Building Zero-Code Flutter Integration Tests With Gherkin And Marionette,” Sebastine will demonstrate how combining Gherkin’s plain-language test syntax with Marionette can let teams write robust integration tests without writing a single line of test code. Imagine not getting a chance to experience this? Go get your tickets now at devfestlagos.com and join us at DevFest Lagos! 🎟️ 📅 Nov 13th & 14th

Everything Faith has said is TRUE. Opeyemi himself sent me his link after I posted what the team built on my WhatsApp status yesterday which I forwarded to the team to see.

Hey guys. I am the team lead of the DevFest Lagos Digital Working group and the initial poster of the link which Faith quoted. I am addressing this once and for all because the harsh comments on this harmless post have been very unfair.
CLEARING THE AIR I came up with this idea in July and shared the test link with the team on July 17,2026. (Receipts attached) Everyone loved it and the decision of our lead was to go live closer to the actual conference dates
