One lesson I’ve learned after more than a decade building startups:

Most founders overestimate how ready they need to be before applying.

The best opportunities often go to people who apply before they feel ready.

If you’re building something interesting, submit the application.

Let investors, accelerators, and customers tell you “no.”

Don’t do it for them.

Quoting my earlier tweet:

“If you’re building a wallet system and your source of truth is a balance column,
May the database gods be with you 😂”

Let’s talk about why this is dangerous and exactly how to design the tables properly.

🚨 Anthropic’s Claude team just revealed how to build AI agents with actual memory in under 30 minutes.

24 minutes. Free. Straight from the people who built Claude AI.

Honestly, this teaches more practical agent engineering than most expensive vibe-coding courses online.

Instead of watching a movie tonight, watch this.

Apple can review your app in minutes

Expedited reviews allow you to ship quick updates to your app.

Here's how to avoid getting banned:

- Rule #1 – Don't submit excessive requests otherwise future requests get denied.
- Rule #2 – Use this for critical bugs. e.g. Users cannot access the app because of a bug

I've requested expedited reviews multiple times and it takes ~5 minutes to get approved if no issues are found.

Nigerian devs, what SMS provider are you using in your SaaS right now?

I’m exploring options for sending SMS locally and I want real feedback from people building here.

Stop scaling and start focusing on sustainability.

On Thursday, for Solana Ecosystem Call May edition, we decided to explore a new city.

For the first time, we held a @SuperteamNG event in Keffi Nasarawa State and the energy was worth the decision to try a new location.

@BoazWith so true

I just discovered that access bank is using react native for their app, how do I know that?, they didn't change their splash screen on the latest update.

[Antoni Neutron @neutronUNO]

One of my highlights this week was being part of the @SuperteamNG IRL Solana ecosystem call in Keffi.

Great experience bringing the community together to share ideas and learn about the latest alphas - ranging from ICM to products within the ecosystem.

Is blogging with AdSense still a thing in 2026, or is it just a digital relic?. I remember the "Golden Era" of blogging the days when everyone had a niche site and that little AdSense sidebar was like a badge of honor.
