I just uploaded a file to my GitHub, and before I can log in to my GitHub to check what I did via terminal, @pxxl_space has sent me an email urging me to create a project for it. 👀

Take a chill pill, @honour_can_code. 🙂

The thing is...

Relatively, I suck at AI prompting...

I simply compensate by treating it like my buddy, often inventing short descriptive terms to make my requests, with hopes that it'll understand.

Majority of the time, it does.

Africa currently has 10 unicorns (a unicorn is a private company valued at $1 billion or more), and eight are in the payments sector.

That reveals a fintech problem, which, while good, shows that other sectors (agriculture, AI, mobility, education, healthcare, security, and general software) are either underfunded or simply rising.

Either way, we believe the next 10 years may tell us, and it appears the latest addition, Moove, already shows us what those next 10 years may be like.

Four years ago today, we pitched Chowdeck at YC Demo Day.

It’s crazy how quickly time flies and even crazier how much can change in four years.

For one, my hair is longer 😂 😂😂

But more importantly, @chowdeck has grown far beyond what any of us could have imagined back then.

In the video, I was so proud of delivering 800 orders in a day. Today, we do that every 15 minutes.

And yet, it’s still Day One 🚀

Fuel prices are climbing, but transportation remains a core part of modern life.

In the midst of that, Uber withdrew from Nigeria.

Just around that time, two young Nigerians who met at Caleb University launched a new startup, @NaviaRide

The kinds of questions people ask Grok on public posts can be quite tiring to see…

Why not copy the tweet’s URL, paste it into the Grok chat, and have your conversation instead of showing your ignorance out in the open?
