And the truth is, many people spend their entire lives trying to defeat others without realizing that they themselves have already become part of someone else's game. So never fall into traps created by others. And if you do get trapped, don't fight. Find a way to get out.

A farmer threw a dead pig into a dry well. After a short while, 70 or 80 mice jumped into the well to eat it. After finishing the meat, they realized that the walls of the well were so steep that it was impossible to climb out.

Instead, it started hunting other mice like a mad creature. This is called the "Divide Plan." Those sitting at the top do not fight themselves. They simply create an environment where the people below begin fighting each other, eventually destroying one another.

Me thinks back in the day, people had to work hard for their unearned confidence. You had to sit through shaky YouTube videos just to misunderstand a basic concept. Then, there was a barrier to even being wrong. Now, we’ve automated the climb to Mt. Ignorance.

Let the young man in his desperation go out and hunt. If he kills the elephant, his poverty ends. If the elephant kills him, his poverty ends.

Rooting for @github. They’ve given me years of free infra. happy to give them some time to figure this out. You got this.

I have seen intelligent people destroy their careers by never learning to play dumb strategically. And game theory explains why: in most high-stakes hierarchies, influence is perceived as a zero-sum game. If you appear "too intelligent," you are perceived as a threat. That locks you out of important networks. Let the others feel superior for a while, and hide your intelligence until deployment.

Software engineers invented AI for one sole purpose:

To do front end development.

You can't sell a KSh 50K/month AI tool to a company that thinks KSh 3K/month for Microsoft Office is theft.
The conversation isn't about AI readiness. It's about software value perception. And most African businesses aren't there yet.
