Eid Greetings

1/ OpenAI scales PostgreSQL to 800 million ChatGPT users. The lesson isn't about Postgres. It's about what breaks before the database does. 🧵

7/ The throughline: before you scale out, reduce what the primary has to handle.
Works at 800 million users.

6/ Rate-limiting backfills so one migration doesn't silently kill write capacity for everything else.
Lazy writes to absorb traffic spikes instead of taking them head-on.

ESTABLISHMENT OF NIGERIA'S NATIONAL CYBERSECURITY COORDINATION COUNCIL TO STRENGTHEN CYBER RESILIENCE

The Federal Government has signalled its intention to work collaboratively with the private sector and key stakeholders toward the establishment of a Cybersecurity Coordination Council aimed at strengthening Nigeria’s collective cyber resilience and enhancing coordinated responses to evolving cyber threats across public and private sectors.

The proposed Council is envisioned as a non-statutory, multi-stakeholder coordination platform, designed to convene key actors and strengthen partnerships that support efficient coordination, trusted information sharing, and sustained cooperation among institutions responsible for advancing Nigeria’s cybersecurity posture.

Please see more details in attached Press Release.

@ebenezerakarah @DarkWebInformer Any source for this?

🚨 BREAKING: An Anthropic hackathon winner just gave away the entire system for free.

@affaan beat 100+ participants at the Anthropic x Forum Ventures hackathon. Built https://t.co/uUCLO7rALB in 8 hours using Claude Code. Walked away with $15K in API credits.

Then he packaged 10+ months of daily Claude Code refinement into one repo:

→ 14+ agents, 56+ skills, 33+ commands
→ MCP configs, hooks, rules
→ AgentShield security scanner
→ Continuous learning system
→ Full cross-platform support

35,000+ stars. MIT licensed. One install command.

🚨 BREAKING: Someone just built an App Store for Claude Code with 200,000+ agent skills.

100% Open Source. MIT License. Install in 30 seconds.

Here's what just dropped 👇

This is SkillsMP.

Think npm registry for AI agent capabilities. Except you're installing knowledge directly into Claude's brain.

Not code libraries. Pure instructions.

Install a skill. Claude becomes an expert at that thing instantly.

What's included (200,000+ skills):
→ PPTX file generation (professional decks) → GitHub PR reviews (senior engineer standards) → AWS/Azure/GCP deployments (one-click configs)

→ Data analysis pipelines (SQL + visualization) → Content automation (SEO + social media) → Business workflows (CRM + email templates)

All searchable. All free. Zero API keys.

How to install (takes 30 seconds):
1. Go to https://t.co/aESy5vc7ja
2. Search for skill you need
3. One-click install
4. Claude now has that expertise

No dependencies. No rate limits. No breakage.

The difference from ChatGPT plugins:
ChatGPT plugins need external APIs. Break constantly. Have usage limits.

Claude Skills are pure instructions.

Teach Claude HOW to think about tasks.

Work offline. Never break. No vendor lock-in.

Top skills already live:
→ "aws-lambda-deployer" (3.2K installs) - Full Lambda workflows
→ "pptx-professional" (8.7K installs) - Investor pitch decks with charts
→ "github-pr-analyst" (5.1K installs) - Security + quality reviews
→ "data-storyteller" (4.3K installs) - CSV to narrative reports

Production-ready. Not toys.

Why this matters:

Before: Hire specialist or learn skill yourself (weeks to months)
Now: Install skill. Productive in 5 minutes.

The leverage is insane.
The skill-creator skill exists:
Describe what you want Claude to do.

The skill writes itself.
Install it permanently.

Recursive capability expansion.

100% Open Source. Community-driven.

Anyone contributes. Anyone forks. Anyone improves.

No black box APIs.

This is GitHub for AI capabilities.

Many of us have experienced and solved these problems when we were in school, if you can solve that problem, you can become a software engineer

What is Architecture

Can you be an architect

?

Architecture is

When you are in secondary school, you are taking 3 subjects, but you only have money for 2 books

[Ibrahim Taofeek @CodingAlgorithm]

How to make decision on when alot of people are coping from our note and we can't open to the next page to continue writing (mutex), someone in B class want to borrow our civic note and we are having social studies (race condition), when we don't bring a note to school (downtime)

[Ibrahim Taofeek @CodingAlgorithm]

You've successfully architected a book writing system for scale and latency

PS: This very very simplified and there are still a lot of things we've not talked about, things like

[Ibrahim Taofeek @CodingAlgorithm]

Based on our priority, reduce unnecessary complexity, increase read and write speed (reduce latency)

We decided to start civic at the first page and social on the first page of the second half

[Ibrahim Taofeek @CodingAlgorithm]

Start civic at the front and start social studies at the back
Or
Start civic at the front and start social at the middle
Or
Start civic at the back and start social at the last page of the first half
Or
Start civic at the last page of first half and social at last page

[Ibrahim Taofeek @CodingAlgorithm]

This also help resolve challenge when reading (read latency)

👍

But for the second option

Civic and Social Studies

We have 4 options (that I can think of now)

[Ibrahim Taofeek @CodingAlgorithm]

Where as, if it's Arabic, it is better to start from the back of the note

👍

So, now, we've sorted latency problem by making decision to start writing from the front and not the back since we are learning with English.
