I've been working on startuplist.africa for some weeks now. It is a data-driven platform that provides information and insight into the African Startup Ecosystem.

An unprecedented day in my history with PHP.
Some bumps along the way, but really proud of the @laravel team for working through the night ensuring all of our products and customers had patches available to them and, when possible, applied automatically.
Given the advancement of agents, it's quite possible this won't be the last time this happens, and it's likely PHP won't be the only language that goes through this. We built some solid muscle today to do even better next time.
Onward. ๐ซก

Elon is the motherfuckinโ GOAT.
He takes things most people only dream about and makes them fucking real. Thatโs just the damn truth.
I went to see a car unveil and watched a Roadster drive upside down, launch with thrusters, and do flips and rolls through the air.
How do you watch that and not feel like a kid again?!
Tonight was the best product unveil Iโve ever seen, literally the best unveil of ANY product.
Hands down.
Huge respect to Elon and everyone at Tesla and SpaceX who put in the work to make this happen. You absolutely fucking delivered.
I had my @Grok Bot pull the official stream, find the best moments, and cut this video together by the end of the night.
I had to watch it again to understand how unbelievable today was.

African startups raised $816M in Q3 2026, and asset finance took $526M of it. ๐๐ต๐ฑโ๏ธ
Moove alone raised $250M. Outside Moove, most asset-finance money came in as debt.
Every round of $10M or more ๐

โ๏ธ BREAKING: Attackers hijacked the .gh, .sl and .as domain registries of Ghana, Sierra Leone and American Samoa, rewrote their DNS records and got legitimate certificate authorities to issue HTTPS certificates for major global brands and several of Google's own domains.
Chrome is blocking most of the certificates.

I was invited to this indoor wedding. When I reached the Venue (hotel) a few minutes ago, I found two doors with signs:
1. Bride's relatives
2. Groom's relatives
"Hmmmm, interesting," I said to myself as I entered the door marked* Groom's relatives* and found two more doors written:
1. Ladies
2. Men
I started giggling and getting happy for no reason, then entered the men's door and found two doors written:
1. People with gifts
2. People without gifts.
I entered the second door ( people without gifts). and found myself outside of the hotel.

My experience has been pretty bad with navigating my personal and business profiles on codex.
The biggest issue is that I canโt easily switch between both profiles and subsequently my remote connections are failing.
My personal Max plan is pretty much useless at this point.
