For a decade, tech CEOs had one magic trick:
Announce layoffs.
Watch the stock pop.
Collect the bonus.
Cloudflare tried it.
They cut 1,100 people, wrapped it in "AI transformation" language, and the stock fell 18%.
A tiny bit of justice in a bleak world.

I had a productive trip to the US. I also took every opportunity to share about amazing South Africa, our incredible people and country, challenged harmful myths, the false “white genocide” narrative and other outrageous misinformation, whenever they came up in conversation. 🇿🇦❤️

Saturday , 22 February 2025:
Following over 20 days of uninterrupted electricity supply, Eskom has encountered another temporary setback.
As a result, Stage 3 loadshedding will be implemented from today at 17:30 until further notice.
Eskom will give an update on Sunday 23 February 2025.
Unfortunately, I'm too junior to speak openly about this Trump / Afriforum saga without consequence 😂
I have so much to say 😅
And I'm too lazy to open an anonymous account 😂💔
Fun to see @GomoMohapi on the big keynote stage talking about how anyone can build their own Copilot and Agent.
He’s sharing:
1. Copilot Studio overview
2. Building your first agent
3. Making it autonomous
4. Connecting it to external data sources via connectors/plugins
Did you know we have agents that are built by @microsoft that you can customize in Copilot Studio? Or you can DIY your own! #MicrosoftAITour

I wont even pretend 😂 2024 was a crap year both in my personal and professional life and I'm done praying for better days.
Thank goodness for therapy ❤️
We'll see what happens in 2025 🤷🏽♂️
This year is not my travel year, but here we go:
1. Bangalore ↔️ Siliguri (multiple times)
2. Vietnam
3. Delhi
4. Azerbaijan
5. Wayanad
6. Darjeeling and nearby hills (almost every weekend when I am home)
7. Kolkata
Will probably go to one/two more places end of this year.
It's sad but whether it's tech events, jobs, and other opportunities - the A in EMEA will always be there for aesthetic purposes only.
So proud of initiatives like @futureinnovlab, @DataFestAfrica, @Geekulcha who aren't waiting around for corps to do the right thing for Africa.
There will be 3 events:
🗓 Cape Town: 14 October 2024
🗓 Johannesburg: 16 October 2024
🗓 Durban: 18 October 2024
Hope to see your there! 😉
