So graduates will be asking for internships or jobs with such projects on GitHub.. what I find funny is that why would anyone want to know tomorrow's date and they already know today's? I mean is it for people with amnesia😂? Meanwhile , developers with 10 years of experience are being laid down in countries with better economies...so is there hope for this generation? Like even in the age of vibe coding, how do companies rely on people who have no clue about how their systems work? How are you mentoring interns?

I am a software engineer , i work remotely and so i have a lot of free time. I have a unique interest in hardware , talking about raspberry pi's , circuit boards , gpu's and everything in between. I am also a linux geek . I am thinking of offering computer repair services , like motherboard troubleshooting , screen replacement, battery replacement , ram and ssd upgrades , pc building services , software installations ; windows and linux.

The advantage would be convinience as i come to you , and you do not have to go to the workshop worrying the fundis will be selling your laptop or exhanging parts . Another one would be transparency as you can see what i am doing , and lastly , repairs should be cheaper as I do not have any overhead operational costs. However , i am planning on having affiliations with certified repair shops in Nairobi for those who still would want a physical location .

I would also sell second hand , tested ram modules , i know ram prices are crazy right now . I know where to find ddr3 and ddr4 modules, ddr5 are rare and that is the bottleneck. I test the sticks myself and grade them and there is a 100% refund on bad sticks. I also have custom software i have written for testing such hardware components . Its open source on my github bradleymaina under the alias hwcheck(hardware check) it only works on windows plattform , you could use that and are not limited to that.

I already mentioned my love for linux and i am also open for any linux problems and challenges. For enthusiasts , i can share my config files : hyprland , waybar, bluetooth , network and everything in between.

That is the end of my pitch , i would love to hear your feedback on wheather this is something i should persue , if it is something that is needed , suggestions , recommendations and critique.
