Connect. Collaborate. Create.
Two months down, and my time as an IT intern at triBBBal has come to an end!
Stepping into an actual working environment for the first time was incredibly insightful, and it has been a rewarding experience across the board.
Huge thanks to the CEO Lortir Pierre Louis for the opportunity, Christie Udoeyoh for supporting us before we were even officially on the team, and my company supervisor, Ribetan Nanjwan , for consistently pushing us to do our best work.
To my fellow interns: thank you for making this memorable, and best of luck to everyone in the final stretch of the competition!
Building a Reels-style feed for our influencer discovery platform came with a massive hurdle: video hosting costs.
When designing a way for brands to preview creator clips directly on-platform, storing thousands of raw .mp4 files locally gets wildly expensive. On top of that, scraping raw video files from Instagram or TikTok requires costly third-party APIs.
The pragmatic solution? Embedding official platform iframes directly alongside a custom script to dynamically fetch creator metadata and profile visuals. It keeps hosting costs at zero while giving users that snappy, scrollable preview feel.
The reels is still in Testing mainly because of the ui, but lets see how it plays out
Is manual coding slowly becoming a thing of the past?
With 2026 being dubbed the "Year of Truth for AI," the tech industry is shifting toward making artificial intelligence the operational backbone of development. Between Cloud 3.0, autonomous agents, and self-healing software, the landscape is moving at lightning speed.
To be completely honest, watching tools write, debug, and assemble full stacks in seconds triggers real imposter syndrome. It makes you pause and question where junior developers and builders fit into this new era.
AI is clearly here to stay, but problem-solving, architectural thinking, and understanding what to build still need human hands.
How are other devs navigating this shift? Do you feel empowered by AI in your workflow, or does it make you anxious about the future?
