Fastest Way I Found to Earn Developer Certifications (WordPress, SQL, AI)

Ahmod Musa — Sun, 26 Apr 2026 03:38:19 +0000

How I Got 5 Developer Certifications in One Weekend (WordPress, SQL, AI)

I’ll be honest with you.

I’ve spent real money on certifications before — the kind where you hesitate before clicking “Pay Now”, and then instantly regret it when the certificate looks like it was made in Word 2003.

So when a friend told me she got five certifications in one weekend — for almost nothing, I didn’t believe it.

Then I saw them.

Clean design. Professional layout. Actually worth putting on LinkedIn.

The platform? SkillCertify.

Here’s exactly what she took — and why each one actually matters.

These aren’t the same as AWS or Google certifications.

Proof of effort
Direction in your learning
Portfolio credibility
Something to show in interviews

And for free (or a few dollars)?

That’s a pretty solid deal.

Build a Cyberpunk Glitch Effect with Pure CSS (No JS) 🤖

Ahmod Musa — Wed, 21 Jan 2026 15:37:11 +0000

We all love that futuristic Cyberpunk 2077 aesthetic. The neon lights, the scanlines, and of course—the Glitch Effect.

Usually, developers rely on heavy JavaScript libraries (like GSAP or anime.js) to achieve this. But today, I want to show you how to do it with 100% Pure CSS.

Here is what we are building:

The Logic Behind the Glitch 🧠
To make this work without JavaScript, we use two simple tricks:

data-text Attribute: We pass the text string in HTML so CSS can access it via content: attr(data-text). This creates a "Ghost Layer" (duplicate text) without bloating the DOM.

clip-path: We use this to "slice" the ghost layer into random strips.

@keyframes: We animate the slice positions rapidly to create the jitter/glitch effect.

Here is the full, copy-paste ready code.
