I just said I should quietly inform you people that Nigeria under Tinubu has entered this chat.
They've has just announced 2 new deep sea ports in Ogun state and in Badagry in partnership with DP World, whose former CEO Sultan Ahmed bin Sulayem resigned earlier this year after he came out in the Epstein files cheesing over a video of a woman getting tortured.
Anyway the Epstein stuff is by the way. The point is that Tinubu's Nigeria is now part of at least 4 different imperial projects - US, France, UK and now UAE. A whole Nigeria is about to start moving like Djibouti on the west coast of Africa.
Unless someone can do something about Baba Ologun Olooro.

"AI will replace software engineers" is the new "This is the year of the Linux desktop."
Automation is cool until you hit a bug that requires 10 years of context and a specific type of mental gymnastics only a geek can perform at 3 AM. We don't just write lines; we navigate chaos
In a production outage, the engineer who "just knows" where the fire is looks like a magician.
But it’s not magic. And it’s definitely not a "gift."
Pattern recognition is a shortcut, not an inheritance.
Here’s why that matters:
Coding in 2026 is very different.
This is even more interesting because software engineering has never been about coding.
Coding is an important part of engineering but the real value lies somewhere else.
Ai is not yet as big as it could/will be.
The real product in this period is/will be the context not the model. As we've seen already the models are becoming commodities.
It is clear that I've been right all along that infrastructure is the next juice of technology.
Both on the hardware side and software.
Models are now more of commodities and actual products will have an array to pick from.
This place! Whenever I need a short escape, I just drive there and stay a day.
Serene and detached environment. Uninterrupted electricity. No car honking or outside noise. Just peace. Like you found an island of your own.
Anytime you’re around @Wizarab10, first night on me!
