@Jizelle_patriot Imagine if the tag on the toy was a business card for a pet related service 🫠

@asher_kine You don’t have a PVC? 😖

@timithechef @benln @olaorleans True, we have to use VPN to access the website

@benln @TheOyinbooke Yooo 🤗

@EemanBintSulaym Just watch out… other companies will start removing age and cert restrictions

@EOEboh Here is another explanation of the concept

@isocroft @lanreadelowo Store pepper when it’s cheap so when it gets scarce you sell and make profit 🫠

I asked ELITE operator and ex-CMO of MTN @adiaspeaks about the G.O.A.T moment in Nigerian tech that made her think anything was possible.

Adia: "My G.O.A.T moment is not a popular one. The first company that got called a unicorn is @InterswitchGRP. They got an investment from Visa that put their valuation at a billion dollars.

Nobody talks about Interswitch enough. I think it’s because their products don’t seem as sexy as we’ll expect, so the hype is different.

That’s a company we should give a lot more flowers."

100% agree with this!

@0x @Mochievous @kikimordi @grok what are they talking about on this thread

[Elijah @CodeWithElijah]

@the_fxer That’s a hackathon not a sprint

@precious_tagy Before you comment make sure you have atleast read or experienced the challenges outline in this book: Mobile Apps at Scale: 39 Engineering Challenges (15 Apr) https://t.co/IbGAhGqG9B

I clapped along

I swear we didn't plan this, but just today, we finally NUKED our entire AWS account at the 37signals company meetup! This followed moving out compute+dbs in 2023, then S3 this summer, and now finally the entire account is GONE 🎉

@EOEboh While working with tanstack query in react you will have to invalidate query when you perform and action like adding to a todo list so it could automatically refresh data

And when I eventually moved to the backend and cloud, this whole cache invalidation made sense

[Elijah @CodeWithElijah]

Manager, can we go home? AWS is down 🫠

[Elijah @CodeWithElijah]

Exactly

[Igor Alexandrov @igor_alexandrov]

I never understood this separation into backend and frontend devs.

I am an engineer, I can do pretty much everything.

I borrow this super lion audacity

[Chibuzor @ChibuOnwurah]

18 years ago, three twenty-somethings walked into a bank boardroom trying to sell software they built on borrowed laptops.

No investors. No big-name backers.

Just laptops, a dream, and a lot of boldness.

I remember a Bank IT Manager looking at how young we were and asking:

“Is this your whole team?”

We smiled and said,
“Oh no, our Chairman couldn’t make it. He handles strategy and investor relations.”

You see, we had chosen one of us to stay back on most occasions to make the story more believable.
He was always the invisible one.

And on every pitch deck and proposal, we listed our years of learning and practising programming:
"16 years of combined software development experience!"

(It sounded a lot better than saying we were barely 24 and a few months out of the university)

That’s how we bought time and trust in the early days.

But eventually, we stopped needing borrowed credibility.
We delivered. Again and again.

Now, 18 years later
Seamfix has worked with governments, telcos, banks, and startups across Africa.

Our identity and automation solutions have impacted hundreds of millions of people.
And the mission is just getting started.

It’s still Day 1.

Because we believe that identity is a right and not a privilege.

And everyone deserves equal access to opportunities.
