Many thanks to the members that participated: China, Chinese Taipei, Comoros, Dominican Republic, Egypt, Georgia, Indonesia, Lao PDR, Mongolia, Nepal, Nigeria, Oman, Peru, Sri Lanka, Switzerland, Thailand, Viet Nam. There are many beautiful photos of the day that will momentarily be up on the WTO Website. Here are a few of me with some visiting children. Many thanks also to the many staff and the volunteers who made the day a successful one. Up WTO!

Beyonce releases a full 7 minute vlog documenting JAY Z's hair journey going from locs to an afro for his Roots picnic performance 🔥

She reveals that the transformation took 7 whole days, and that Hov done so to honor his late father.

The US government, citing national security authorities, has issued an export control directive to suspend all access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5 by any foreign national, whether inside or outside the United States, including foreign national Anthropic employees.

The net effect of this order is that we must abruptly disable Fable 5 and Mythos 5 for all our customers to ensure compliance.

Access to all other Claude models is not affected.

We apologize for this disruption to our customers. We believe this is a misunderstanding and are working to restore access as soon as possible.

More AI-generated code doesn't make your team faster. It might actually slow you down.

We've raised $65 billion in Series H funding at a $965 billion post-money valuation, led by @AltimeterCap, Dragoneer, @Greenoaks, and @sequoia.

This investment will help us advance our research and expand our capacity to meet growing demand for Claude.

“AI is so expensive”

No, it really isn’t.

I burn $150: on Claude/Codex every month and ship what would’ve cost hiring someone $8k

Stop comparing it to free.

Compare it to the alternative.

It is my pleasure to announce that we have officially commissioned the landmark Nnenna Oti Bus Terminal in Umuahia, and it is now ready for public use. The project is a multimodal transport hub designed to accommodate more than 340 buses at once, powered by sustainable infrastructure and connected to our growing network of electric buses.

The facility is named in honour of Prof. Nnenna Nnennaya‑Oti, the courageous INEC Returning Officer in the 2023 governorship election, whose integrity and patriotism remind us that ordinary people can achieve extraordinary results by simply standing for the truth.

Her name on this terminal is not just about one person, but a tribute to all electoral officials, security operatives, party agents, and citizens who resisted intimidation and defended democracy.

With 20 electric buses already in operation and more on the way in the coming weeks, the project signals our bold vision for a modern, safe, and sustainable transport system in Abia. The facility is also supported with independent power and water systems to ensure uninterrupted operations.

In my address titled “Raising the Bar”, I stated unequivocally that we have moved beyond the era of small ambitions. We refuse to be boxed into margins that underestimate our strength. This principle underpins all our undertakings.

I extend special commendation to the contractors, Planet Projects Limited, for a job well done in delivering this landmark facility. I also appreciate the dedication of the Commissioner for Transport, Dr. Chimezie Ukaegbu, the SSA Transport, Dr. Obioma Nwaogbe, and their team for the critical role they played in bringing this vision to reality.

I call on all residents and members of the host community to take ownership of this facility, to maintain a clean environment, and to guard against vandalism. This terminal belongs to you, and its success depends on your care. I also urge all Abians to pay their taxes regularly. Development cannot be sustained without collective responsibility, and every naira contributed helps us deliver the future our people deserve.

As a software engineer, you should be able to solve a LeetCode problem.

Every time GitHub has an outage our team is paged. Incidents at Vercel get automatically filed by anomaly detection systems.

We just detected an outage 16 minutes before their status page changed. Deployments suddenly dipped and surged.

Despite all the chatter about coding AGI, the reality is that software infrastructure remains an extremely hard problem.

I have no doubt the GitHub team is highly competent, and there's no shortage of models and agents available to them. Don't forget this is the company that brought us Copilot, the first major breakthrough product in AI coding. Yet clearly the prompt "/goal scale GitHub, make everything extremely fast, make no mistakes" is not enough.

The hard parts of software remain very hard, especially under unprecedented demand, as more people join in on the fun of building new things.

I was casually having a conversation with a 5th-year Computer Science PhD candidate, and I told him that if I were to start a second degree, it would be in Computer Science.

He asked why, and I said it’s because I’d love to become a software developer.

He smiled and said, “Bro, don’t waste your time. Just get a Claude subscription, and you can build literally anything.”

He saw the shock on my face and continued, “I have spent more than 10 years earning a bachelor’s, master’s, and PhD in Computer Science, but AI writes better code than I’ve ever written and probably ever will write. Just vibe-code, don’t waste your time, bro. AI got you covered.”

I tried to explain why I think someone with a background in let’s say programming, software engineering, algorithms, system design, debugging, or other core computer science skills would be a better vibe coder than someone with zero coding experience.

But he insisted that the game is ultimately won by the best prompt writer.

Still thinking about this🤔.

[Mark Cuban @mcuban]

I’m coming to the conclusion that the biggest challenge for Enterprise AI, and AI in general , as of now, is that it’s still impossible to make sure that everyone gets the same answer to the same question, every time.

Which is a great response to the doomers. AI doesn’t know the consequences of its output.

Judgement and the ability to challenge AI output is becoming increasingly necessary, and valuable.

Which makes domain knowledge more valuable by the second.

Am I wrong ?

[Glorified Typist @ctochi46]

I don't think so

As a frontend developer. NO
Wetin those backend guys they do, if you put body as a frontend fire go burn you.
And I’m not talking about crud backend devs abeg.
