DEV Community: Boluwatife Akingbade

🚀 Building a SaaS Startup Looking for Collaborators, Marketers & Creators!

Boluwatife Akingbade — Wed, 16 Jul 2025 18:46:04 +0000

Hey Dev Community 👋

I'm Boluwatife, a developer from Nigeria, and I'm currently building a SaaS startup called Splick a tool aimed at helping businesses grow smarter by simplifying business management.

We’re still early-stage and building out our MVP, and I’m looking to connect with passionate people who want to be part of something from the ground up.

Who I’m looking for:

Developers: (frontend/backend) to collaborate and build
Marketers: To help us reach businesses and grow awareness
Video editors or creators: To help with product explainers and promo content
Anyone excited to contribute and grow with the team

This is a passion project right now (no income yet), but once we start earning, we’ll definitely share value and benefits among contributors.

If you’re interested, feel free to DM me, drop a comment, or reach out via Email- email@boluwatife.tech . Let’s build together!

I’m a developer who builds fast, clean, and creative. I want something unexpected this week.

Drop your wildest idea, web app, automation, tool, whatever.

I’ll pick one and turn it into something you didn’t see coming.

🧵 Ever wonder how computers store stuff like an image?

Boluwatife Akingbade — Thu, 12 Jun 2025 17:22:24 +0000

It all starts with the BIT.
A bit is short for “binary digit.”
It’s the smallest unit of data in a computer and can be either a 0 or a 1.
Think of it like a light switch: OFF = 0, ON = 1. 💡
What happens when you group 8 bits together?
You get a byte.
Example:
01000001 = 1 byte
Bytes are the foundation of how data is stored and interpreted in computers.
Bytes can represent... anything!

• A character like “A”
• A small number (e.g., 42)
• A tiny part of a photo
• A piece of audio

What it means depends on the context and how the program interprets it.

Now let’s talk images.🖼️ Images are made of pixels (tiny colored dots). Each pixel's color is stored as a combination of bytes using models like RGB:

(Red, Green, Blue)

RGB and Color Storage 🎨 In many systems, each RGB value is stored using 1 byte (8 bits). So 1 pixel = 3 bytes

Example:
Red = 255
Green = 0
Blue = 0

This pixel would appear pure red.

Multiply that by millions of pixels…
A 1080p image has over 2 million pixels.
2 million pixels × 3 bytes = ~6 megabytes (uncompressed)
That’s a lot of 0s and 1s!
So how does your image become data?
Your camera or software converts visual information into pixels
Each pixel is broken down into bytes
Those bytes are saved as binary (0s and 1s)
Stored in formats like JPEG, PNG, etc.
Compression makes things smaller.
Image formats like JPEG use compression to reduce file size.
They find patterns in pixel data and store them more efficiently—less space, faster loading!
Recap:

Bit = 0 or 1
Byte = 8 bits
Bytes store pixel color info
Pixels = images
Images = millions of bytes = millions of 0s and 1s
That’s how your selfie becomes data! 🤳💾

Digital magic ✨ It’s wild to think every photo, emoji, and meme is just a giant sequence of 0s and 1s. All thanks to bits, bytes, and brilliant engineering.

Am I good to go?

Anything essential I’m missing before I start playing with models? 🤔
