Ever noticed how weird it feels when your power goes out? You flip a switch…nothing. Then you wonder, is it just me or the whole neighborhood?
Do you check socials, ask neighbours, or tweet KPLC? How do you guys figure out who still has power?

What Will KES 1 Million Look Like in 20 Years?
If you think KES 1 million will secure your retirement, think again. Inflation has a way of silently chipping away at your purchasing power. Let’s break it down:
Imagine today you can:
Buy a car for KES 1 million.
Fund your child's university education.
Cover rent for a year in a decent apartment.
Fast forward 20 years, assuming an average inflation rate of 7% (Kenya’s historical average):
Your KES 1 million will only be worth KES 258,000 in today’s money.
That car?
You’d need KES 3.8 million to buy the same one.
University fees? Likely triple.
This is why saving isn’t enough—you need to invest in assets that grow faster than inflation.
What's your debugging strategy if something goes wrong in production?
Don't tell me you never SSHd onto a production server to squeeze in a little dump or dd for yourself 😂
A lot of things can go wrong when customers are making payments...
The payment sometimes is successful but due to network issues or other reasons users might get an error and therefore their first instinct is to retry....
Idempotency can save your business unnecessary refund efforts and the cost that comes with that....
