Writing for TwoCents has been like finding my people—a place where sharing my thoughts actually matters! Not only do I get to dive deep into topics I'm passionate about, but I also get real support from readers through tips and subscriptions.
Plus, the connections I've made with other African creators are incredible. It's not just a place to publish; it's a community where your voice can actually make waves (and earn a few coins while you're at it!). TwoCents has turned my random musings into meaningful conversations
Anita Koske
English Language Teacher/Assistant @ Academie de Versailles
My best friend introduced me to TwoCents, and I remember chatting with Tobi and think how brilliant the platform is!
More than two years later, I still feel the same, the space offers more than just nuggets of wisdom here and there, you can get inspired and even channel your creativity in a great way. There's so much TwoCents has to offer and I can't wait to see what it blossoms into🌸

Top answers from some of our sessions.
I answered this somewhat in a previous question, so I'll take a bit of my answer from there:"Having a strong mathematical foundation helps, so brushing up on your linear algebra and statistics will be helpful. You can develop these skills by hard work through self-studying, taking courses on online platforms like Coursera, Udemy, and LinkedIn learning. Nowadays, there are so many blogs and resources that are a quick Google search away!"I haven't worked as a Software Engineer, but ML engineers are being heavily recruited. You should look up a few of these job roles and see what the requirements are, this could help shape your priorities for what to focus on in your learning journey!

Hello Precious, You should explore Medium. It's a platform for writers. You can eventually start your own blog, but try and build consistency on medium and also get some inspiration and maybe start building a community. Don't ignore LinkedIn and Twitter.

Collaborations are a beautiful way to cut across someone else’s following or clientele. She might want to look into that, Instagram ads also work in getting attention, that will mean she has great content already to draw people in enough to make enquires and pay for her service.We often take word of mouth for granted, its still a very effective way of getting clients and its best when its from a client who has tried your product or paid for your services. Always offer get service so your customers can be your town criers. You can ask they please put in word for you in their circles as well.

Thankfully, I never just dive into spending large sums of Naira, because of the space I work in, I am always able to see what's performing well and change gears very quickly. This is not to say that I have not had some campaigns perform poorly. In fact there was a particular campaign we launched in 2019, it did so well, and we tried it again in 2020 thinking because there are more people online, the campaign will perform better, but it didn't. In this situation, I simply laid out some of the assumptions we made that were wrong, some of the learnings, and how we intended to pick up the slack, because it was a campaign that contributed to our overall goal, so when we realised that we had fallen short, we needed to be creative about how we could get the same traction on other campaigns.

Industry is very broad since there are so many different applications large tech companies are working on. The needs are pretty much the same, it just depends on what specific project it is (ads targeting, email autocompletion, heart rate detection, etc.). I would say the major difference is learning how to scale these algorithms for use across thousands, maybe millions of users but this has pretty much been figured out.Pretty much everything out of theoretical ML is applied, so if you're interested in working with text data pursue projects in NLP or if you like image + video data, pursue Computer Vision!

Personally I don’t have much knowledge on European and German robotics aside from their publications, which seem to be on par with every nation. In my opinion everyone is at a very similar level, and leaders can be pushed aside quickly given luck in research findings. I’ll also say that I’m not a Candidate yet, as I have one more requirement for qualifications to complete. I also don’t have an educated perspective on German education to answer that question well, but I always urge students to choose a graduate program that will support them personally and financially towards their ultimate career goal.

Sir Toby, great to read from you. Your wonderful well coined words say more. With all honesty, as the saying goes: everyone, everything have its place in this world we live in.I personally mostly bring back my momentum by listening to motivational speakers. I will say, Entrepreneurs should be very INTENTIONAL in every action taken both for life and for business. Listening to a motivational speaker doesn't help you solve the hard problems before you. They MOTIVATE you to hold on, think harder, ask if need be and keep pushing upward. Entrepreneurs, don't allow everyone be your cup of tea. As you pipe up or down you client search, so should you pipe down the motivations you listen to daily.

If Africa had not been colonised, I wonder where we would be today!!! Yet, given the globalised nature of the planet, I do not even see how that issue arises: today one can talk of neutral states, but in those days, a territory either colonised or was colonised on encounter.
Technological advancement defines what is 'better off', i.e. where people want to go... and colonisation set us off towards that better-off. But that 'better-off' is a dynamic situation, and tenure among the 'best-off' - whatever the globally accepted measure, this is a game of musical chairs with tenure changing with changes in various situations. This dynamism also applies among the developing countries which belong to the lower echelons of the better-off ladder, aspiring to haul themselves up it. So colonialism was a necessary evil...
While some of our founding fathers (sic) appreciated in the evil in - averse effects of - colonialism, they were up against those leaders who did not see that evil, and the mighty, white-washing force of neo-colonialism. Africa missed an opportunity to unite in the late 1950s and early 1960s. The colonialists and ex-colonialists divided and ruled: they convinced most individual African 'nationalists' that their best interests lay in going it alone. Contemporary pleas for African unity are mere nostalgic romanticism: corporate forces are more powerful that those of political idealism. That is the greatest adversity inherited from colonialism.

Hello Michael, You must treat your competition like your best friend, you always need to be ware of what steps they are taking, so you can stay one step ahead. In some instances, partner with your competition, they already have target audience you need, why not tap into that, if they are happy to.
