Excited to share that we uncovered the transformative power of digital creation and tech in Africa's Tech Ecosystem on the latest episode of the Africa's Talking Podcast.

Spent the weekend in South Africa interacting with Software Engineers & consulting firms & one thing that's evident, they value local talent that they pride themselves in having their systems built by South Africans.
In Kenya, we have great talent that's undervalued, prompting some of them to move abroad. This is a serious conversation worth having.
Software engineers don't get paid to write code; they get paid to solve problems.
The faster you realize this, the sooner you'll stop being afraid that AI will replace you and the better your career will be.
I am looking for someone with good frontend skills for a TW+React+Next.js for an opensource project. You will work on wiring it with a rust backend. This is a good chance for someone who is junior but meticulous and willing to accept something small on the side. No vibe coders.
I'm hiring someone to join my team at Anthropic to lead Claude Code comms.
This is not a role for someone who wants to run an old playbook. You'll need to be a Claude Code super user, understand developers and dev tools, and have great taste. You'll work hard, learn a lot, and ship with the best people around.
Non-traditional comms paths welcome. My DMs are open!
Why arrest someone for creating a Website to help others understand the finance bill?!
Shows how much impunity is in that Bill and we already Reject..

Layoffs are a reminder that:
A six-month emergency fund isn't optional, it's essential.
Owning your space offers peace that rentals can’t. That’s why off-grid living appeals to me.
Minimalism and frugality aren’t trends they’re survival strategies.
No one is invincible.
I'm not a fan or supporter of Rigathi Gachagua and his politics but the government should allow dissenting opinions. Democracy means freedom, & freedom has no limits.
Police in Kenya fired tear gas during protests at a school drama festival over Echoes of War, a play some officials consider critical of the government. The play is set in a fictional kingdom where youth have lost faith in their leaders. https://t.co/8U0oPnCopc
Tomorrow morning, I will be on @swahilipotfm talking about the growth of tech communities in Mombasa & how we can leverage tech to build tools for good.
Be sure to tune in 🎧
I embarked on a journey to deliver value as a community manager & I reached out to amazing women whom saw the vision & believed in the impact
I'm greatful for the support

Collaborative efforts go a long way.
Asanteni!
Part of building in public is getting mass feedback immediately, which is pretty dope. Almost exactly like publishing a YouTube video
First thing we're doing is fixing the excessive data disclosures, as people rightfully brought up. For transparency, we'd never actually ask for your location, internet history, etc. The data disclosures (that everyone is screenshotting) is likely too broad, and largely driven by what the ad networks suggest. Working to fix that ASAP.
As far as pricing, I hear you! It's our own personal challenge to work to deliver that kind of value for the premium version. (Weekly Friday drops are already starting) I'll also be dialing back ad frequency for the free experience 👍🏾
Much more to come. I appreciate you all
