I find it funny when people think pastors get rich exploiting poor people off their offerings and tithes😂 I work in church leadership. That’s not even enough to run Sunday services and pay church staff. Most churches are carried on the backs of a select rich 5%. These people solely donate about 80% of every church project. I watch them well. You can never see them broke! There’s something about this God I can’t explain.🤍

As an actual web developer...
all this anti-ai coding shit is performative and mostly from people who have never wrote a line of code

GOOD DAY, MR PRESIDENT: NIGERIANS DESERVE ACCOUNTABILITY
Good day, Mr President.
I congratulate you on spending a night in one of Nigeria’s states outside Lagos and Abuja. I hope you enjoyed the warmth, hospitality, and delicious cuisine of Akwa Ibom, which I am sure is even better than those of the destinations where you have spent over 260 days outside Nigeria since coming into office.
I sincerely hope this visit will inspire you to travel to the remaining 33 states of the federation, spend time with the people and, more importantly, explain what your administration has done with the ₦15.8 trillion saved from the removal of fuel subsidy, the over $100 billion you have borrowed, the increased revenues accruing to the government from taxing Nigerians, and the additional government revenues which your administration celebrated last year as having surpassed its target.
Nigerians deserve to know how many that were pulled out of poverty within this period, how many out-of-school children were returned to school, and how many functional primary healthcare centres you have built. They also deserve to know how much electricity supply has improved, especially given your promise that if you do not fix power, Nigerians should not vote for you. They deserve an explanation of how you have secured the country, which still ranks among the most terrorised countries in the world.
Mr President, Nigerians deserve answers. They deserve to know what has been done with the resources entrusted to your government.
The New Nigeria we want to build will be based on accountability, transparency, and the physical, measurable impact of our public resources on the lives of citizens.
A new Nigeria is POssible. -PO

If you're still using wrangler.jsonc for your workers, you're literally one command away from using a glorious cloudflare.config.ts
$ cf migrate
This gives you (read: your agents) access to ~3000 operations that you would normally use the dashboard for.

Here's what will happen:
For the next two years the Dems will try to:
1) Tank the economy
2) Push to halt all AI development
They don't actually want to stop AI development, I'll get back to that point below.
Trump will negotiate on many things (the war, immigration, etc) but he won't "halt all AI development". Dems will push anti-AI bills/laws and Trump will veto.
Then in 2028, the Dems will blame Republicans and AI for the sluggish economy, inflation, jobs, etc. This will be their platform.
If they win in '28, they will reverse course. They go ALL IN on AI, but they'll do what they did with social media. Censorship, regulation of information, social credit scores to gate usage, etc. We will become the dystopian speech regulated nightmare that the modern left so desperately wants.
The Dems aren't anti-AI. They just want total control of its capabilities.

Democrats won the midterms.
Stocks are crashing.
Gold and silver are crashing.
Crypto is crashing.
Everything is falling apart at once.
Everyone knows what this means.

This is f*cking insane. Elon Musk emailed his team: "Andrej is the #2 computer vision mind on Earth, after Ilya Sutskever"
At 15, Karpathy left Slovakia for Toronto. He studied under Geoffrey Hinton, did his PhD under Fei-Fei Li, and spent 17 years teaching machines to see
In 2012 he wrote that computer vision was "really, really far away"
Slovakia → Toronto → Hinton → Stanford → OpenAI → Tesla → The Man Everyone Learns From

cloudflare c'est vraiment une mine d'or, ils ont tellement d'outils que je découvre encore des trucs
je viens de tomber sur Zaraz
en gros vous voyez tous les scripts qu'on fout sur nos sites ? ga4, pixel tiktok, meta, etc.
Zaraz permet de gérer tout ça direct depuis Cloudflare, avec une bonne partie du tracking côté serveur
résultat :
→ moins de js à charger
→ site potentiellement plus rapide
→ tous les tags au même endroit
→ plus de contrôle sur les données
et en plus t'as 1 million d'événements gratuits par mois
franchement allez fouiller les outils Cloudflare, y'a des pépites

Background subagents in Claude Code now use less of your usage limit.
A running subagent updates its status line every 30 seconds, and each update used to re-read its whole conversation. Now Haiku 5.5 writes it from short notes instead, so each update costs about 99% less.

We will all be learning in coming weeks & months, that most human-made software:
▫️ Was really slow
▫️ Had many security vulnerabilities
▫️ Was under-specified and incorrect
AI will rewrite it all. Many times. It will make it fast, cost-efficient, and secure. It will think about failure modes we couldn't wrap our heads around.
It will prove, formally verify, load test, harden. It will turn memory-unsafe foundations into robust, optimized ones. If you ask, it'll thoroughly document it, teach you about it, make diagrams, animations, and slide decks.
In many ways, we are witnessing the true birth of software engineering.

The people who improve fastest treat feedback as data, not as an attack on their identity.

Companies in Nigeria are not technology first.
No public status pages.
No security disclosure.
No public changelogs.
No post Morterms.
No serious engineering articles/blogs of the work they do internally.
Api docs too: Only by the grace of God it's complete
They just want to do business & maximize profit.
And is that a bad thing ? Not necessarily, I am just of the opinion that modern times just need modern measures/approach.

A former member of a secret society says sex drive and wealth come from the same place. The hunger that keeps people up at night, he says, is the same hunger that builds empires.
The man is Kevin Trudeau, and he says it plainly: those who create a lot in life have a large sexual drive as well. Sexual energy is creative energy, and making money is just another way to spend it, the same as painting, cooking or building anything at all.
What separates the builders from everyone else is what they do with that energy before it’s gone.
Trudeau calls it transmutation. Take a strong desire and push it into work, a business or a deal, and that work suddenly has “a lot of juice behind it.” Things move faster and come to fruition stronger. He claims the super wealthy don’t rely on business plans at all, but on rituals like this one, passed down in the secret society he says he was part of. Of all the rituals he learned there, this was the one he was most excited to practice.
The idea isn’t new. In 1937, Napoleon Hill gave a whole chapter of Think and Grow Rich to “sex transmutation,” and generations of salesmen have read it since. Trudeau adds a warning Hill mostly skipped: with very powerful people, the same drive can turn into a slippery slope.
The fuel is the same, and the only question is whether it ends up in a bedroom or a bank account.
So the next time it’s 2 AM and you’re too wired to sleep, open the laptop instead of the apps, and save this post for that night.

Bamboo brought more cash for IPO of Dangote refinery more than any 🇳🇬 financial firm, now I understand why their app had some down time

I laugh when people criticize @investbamboo here, while incumbents in the industry are terrified of Bamboo's grip on the younger, future market. In one year, 85% of all new customers on the NGX came from them alone. They are the Opay of Nigerian investing.
I was on the board of an older competitor then, and I sounded the warning. I used Bamboo, not the company's product, because it was better and simpler. @investbamboo may have product and pricing issues, but they have cornered a chunk of the market because people trust them. Their brand has matured quickly.
They are locking up a particular demographic because older brokerages with a brand advantage were slow and refused to update their tech because of internal politics. You would typically use what your friends already use. Investing is not like payments; it is closer to banking.

Nigerian freelancers, don’t let anybody gaslight you into believing your location should determine how much you earn.
I worked on an AI video generation project alongside other freelancers from the US. We were all paid $250 for every 40-second video we created.
We created several videos, and I received the same rate as freelancers living in California.
Nobody told me my rate should be lower because I live in Nigeria.
Some months ago, I also worked with Higgsfield on their MCP campaign. I was paid the same rate as other creators in the US. Same thing too when I worked with Kittl ( Germany )
So when people tell you international clients will always pay you less or according to your country minimum wage, I need you to understand that this isn’t always true.
Your location is not a discount code for clients to use against you.
Yes, the market matters. Your skills matter. Your experience and the quality of your work matter.
But don’t let anybody convince you that you must accept peanuts because you’re in Nigeria, especially when you’re delivering the same quality of work as someone in America.
Negotiate based on the value of your work and don’t allow them to trick you oh.
