Thanks for asking. There is no problem.

I have a timeout notifier for every hour of compute. Once the timer buzzes, i hands off my computer and touch some grass for at least 5 minutes.

It is not only Nairaland. I am also on Twitter, Reddit, Quora, Discord etc.

This prevents burnouts.

Nairaland's bot has parked my main for reasons best known.

So i would pause.

What's our view of why developers in Nigeria charge so low for their services?

We have many developers earning below 10k usd per annum.

How can we change this scenario?

If you know react it shouldn't be a problem, similar core principles but solid does it more efficiently I believe. Emotion is just a library that enables you write css in js. No biggie
