Ahh, ALX foundation course. The one about growth mindset, meditation and all those hippie BS you could learn in everyday Nigeria in order to survive I mean you surviving is more than enough right? Why does ALX shove this bulls*it in our face that we would spend almost 12k in 3 wks just for transport to learn about some hippie shit. I came to learn cloud computing not some meditation or ALX mindset shit. Nobody ain't got time or money to waste on that. If we gonna use Gmail, excel or word in the main course then do only that I'm the foundation. No one cares about mindset or those bull*hit. ALX should be realistic.
UPDATE: GUESS who just got his AWS certified cloud practitioner certification 🎊. Alx ehn it can lead to a lot of things. My advice calm down even if shit is tough calm down.

UPDATE: I'M currently about to finish the first 15weeks. After this week by God's grace it's smooth sailing. Then resume for another work alongside school πŸ™‚. I'm not doing Software Development or whatever it's cloud.

How did I manage? I just said "Bleep it" When you do ALX and read for exam at the same time you'll know that space dey head na you just no wan use am πŸ˜‚.

UPDATE: Still in the program would probably finish this December. Hoping for the best. Wait, all those people wey dey comment before una no wan comment again? Hmm okay oh.

Although I don't know of cloud computing, believe me, ALX is just encouraging and preparing you for the challenges ahead. Although those grit TED videos can be very boring and time-wasting you will need grit later on. I mean Dangote trailer of it.

ALX is very fast paced, There are so many things to learn in a very short time frame. Tasks are are being given on daily basis. There will be times when you are yet to even go through the study materials for a task that the deadline has elapsed, still there will be loads and loads of tasks still pilling like a never ending timer. Your co-students will even make posts that they have completed all their tasks. And here you are, yet to even go through the study materials let alone attempting the tasks.
You will feel so overwhelmed, confused, suffer from imposter syndrome, and feel this thing ain't for you, that you are too dull for it. But grit is what will see you through.

Get yourself ready for the rough journey ahead. ALX no be beans.

ALX will humble you. Forget everything you thought you knew about Networking and Web Apps.... They didn't say hard things for beans.

I personally am in SE Foundations....every thing is towards the end goal... To be grounded in soft and technical skills

In this generation education is free, if you are not informed you will be deformed. That’s how I became an Artificial intelligence expert with or without the Computer science degree.
People must make money and that’s why ALX exists.

So I'm here to ask, if the ALX Cloud Computing Course was eventually worth it? Because i'm about to and i'd like honest reviews from people who have taken the course before. Thank you.
