Ask me anything!

I Code

I code because I can action the changes and ideas I want to see in the world to impact people's lives in a positive way. I value people over work and believe strongly that there is value in doing something thoroughly. I help teams solve problems in simple ways and mentor people to challenge the status quo and themselves.

You can find me @etbal or linkedin.com/in/etiennemarais and I sometimes write blog posts etiennemarais.co.za. You can also ask me anything (within reason).

Who am I?

Hi Etienne,

Who are you and why should I ask questions here?

Clickatell vs Nexmo in SA

Hi Etienne

I noticed you built a wrapper for Clickatell for Laravel. I was wondering why you felt it was necessary over and above the built-in Nexmo?

The reason I ask, did you feel Clickatell was a better bet for use in SA, or is it much of the same between the two providers?

Just curious
Thanks
Ray

low-code

Hi Etienne
I noticed your profile thought I'd drop you a note. We are hosting an event next month for Linx - a locally produced, low-code dev tool.

Here are the details. https://linx.software/low-code-cape-town/

The event is for senior devs, engineers and CTOs so a good opportunity to meet and network with like-minded peers and learn a little about low-code tooling. We'd love you to join if this piques your interest.

Hope to see you there
