Bitcoin in under a minute, filmed in Kisumu.

But what does it mean for the duka on your street? A thread: the pain, the challenges, a real day at the till, and the fix.

Building Argus for the #MetaAI Hackathon!

​Run local AI coding agents on your laptop & control them remotely from your phone. Stuck agent? Gus (Muse 1.0) scans terminal state & lets you guide it on mobile.

AI hackathons are one of the ways I keep up with what's possible, challenge myself, and build solutions to real-world problems.

For the @Meta Global AI developer Hackathon, I asked myself:

Every procedure has an SOP, but how do you verify that it was actually followed?

🧵👇

[Benjamin Koimett @devChairman]

AI coding agents can build features. Running several of them? You become the babysitter: terminal tabs, permission prompts, stalled tasks.

So I built Argus: one command center for your local agents. Start them, step away, supervise from your phone.

@altradits run a Bitcoin wallet for everyday people in Kenya.

For the Meta hackathon we've taught the AI agency to think with Meta Muse:

one setting, same safety rails, spend tracked to the cent.

My entry point into btcsuite has been "rpcclient".

Tracing how it builds JSON-RPC requests, uses Go’s "net/http" to communicate with a Bitcoin node, and handles responses and errors.

Connecting the API to the underlying communication, one piece at a time.

[Women Who Go Africa @WWGAfrica]

Building with Go across Africa takes more than code. It takes community, consistency, mentorship, and the courage to keep learning.

That’s the energy @itsberyl, @Shaki1Nannyombi , and @_RulesPlayer brought to #GopherConAfrica2026.

📦 What really happens when you write //go:embed?

@ainsleydev at #GopherConAfrica2026 broke down the toolchain.

Patterns answers "what files do I have?" Files answers "what file should I read?"

By the time the compiler runs, the guessing is already over.

Fewer round trips. Shorter round trips. Smaller payloads. And rejecting bad requests at the edge.

“Not every user has stable internet.

@_blaqJerom's talk on designing for disconnection was a reminder that the best systems don’t just handle network failures, they’re built to expect them.
