@Fuadoluwadamil1 @PiousGeek الأعراب أشد ّ كفرا و نفاقا و أجدر ألّا يعلم حدود ما أنزل الله….

[Ryo Lu @ryolu_]

efficiency, productivity, speed

we keep worshipping these words like they are what we live for

ship faster
merge more
manage more agents
compress every loop
remove every pause
turn every hour into output

but what is the point of endless production if there is no time left to think deeply?

not react
not optimize
not summarize
not clear the queue

think

to sit with a question long enough that your real intention starts to appear
to find the purpose underneath the motion
to ask whether the thing being accelerated should exist at all

ai could be a new canvas

a way to make strange things
personal things
impossible things
tools, worlds, poems, games, interfaces, films, languages, rituals
things that let more people touch the shape of their own imagination

but instead, so much of it is becoming slop factories

more content
more funnels
more tickets
more fake work pretending to be value

you can merge 2000 prs
you can manage 500 agents
you can wake up to dashboards proving that the machine kept moving while you slept

but what is the point if you only sleep 5 hours a day?

what is the point if you stop talking to other humans?
stop learning about the past?
stop playing?
stop wandering?
stop being surprised?

what is the point if your whole life becomes optimizing the system that is consuming you?

speed is not meaning
scale is not wisdom
automation is not freedom if it only makes everyone run faster

and where are we running?

toward what?

a world where every person becomes a manager of machines, and every machine produces more things no one had the time to truly want?

the danger is not that ai makes us lazy

the danger is that ai makes us endlessly busy

that it gives us infinite production before we have found intention
infinite execution before we have developed taste
infinite motion before we have learned how to be still

maybe the real frontier is not more speed

maybe it is discernment

knowing what not to make
knowing when to stop
knowing when the most productive thing is to sleep, read history, call a friend, play with a cat, walk without tracking it, or stare at the ceiling until the false urgency dissolves

tools should give us more life
not turn life into a tool

if ai is going to matter, it should not just help us produce more

it should help us become more human
more imaginative
more free

otherwise, it’s the same old factory
just without humans

@Femi_OfMainland @geekyabdul you said "...respected in jurisprudence, but in contemporary financial practice" Do you want him to give fatwa based on a financial practice or what is clear to him based on the jurisprudence?
He is only obliged to give fatwa sincerely based on what appears to be correct to him.

@Akintola_steve You need to explain and show screenshots of what Apple connect is and how it will cost a $100 yearly subscription to have that.

Educate sufficiently first then reactions after that can be judged.

And add that he’s gonna need it anyway if he wants to host on AppStore.

@0x__jade @honour_can_code you care to share?

Having solid understanding of harness engineering (i.e., Advanced context Management) is the next important engineering skill nowadays, after model building, training, and improvement.

[Abdulsalam Elhakamy @itselhakamy]

@Vtrivedy10 Nice write-up👍.

As mentioned, as models improve, much of what currently exists in harnesses will be integrated into the models themselves. It reminds of the rapid changes in the space; the standards from just six months ago are now completely different. It's truly humbling.

[Abdulsalam Elhakamy @itselhakamy]

@akinkunmi Congratulations on the launch. 🚀

Will use to host my Postgres DB for my next project.

Running a student association is hard enough without the administrative chaos.

If you’re still dealing with lost payment records, long check-in lines, or promoting campus events from scratch—it’s time for an upgrade.

Those problems should be a thing of the past. 👇 (1/2)

[Abdulsalam Elhakamy @itselhakamy]

There should be some fundamental and clear curriculum now for learning to building AI agents from scratch with detailed pre-requisite clarifications and practical ways to practice to attain some level of mastery in today’s development.

Can anyone make some recommendations?

[Abdulsalam Elhakamy @itselhakamy]

@marcrandolph Not all feedbacks necessary for growth can be gotten locally.

[Abdulsalam Elhakamy @itselhakamy]

@Dev_JesseMaduka Same way a technical founder can say they built an app without actually doing the whole coding but questioning, reasoning and guiding the process.

Nothing to gain discrediting people’s ingenuity to produce something useful even if its development is AI assisted.

[Abdulsalam Elhakamy @itselhakamy]

@Dev_JesseMaduka No that’s a wrong conclusion.

If you are involved in specifying what architecture to use, prompting to access the tradeoffs, questioning the assumptions and holding it hands to build a system that don’t give you a nightmare, then you built it but with AI assisted.

AI didn’t.

[Abdulsalam Elhakamy @itselhakamy]

There is this thing I really think about these days?

What are the most practical ways to still learn coding or programming that doesn’t sounds dumb and not hyped?

I mean a practical way someone who is actually interested in the profession can get started?

Anyone?

[Abdulsalam Elhakamy @itselhakamy]

@intuitiveml Very nice breakdown.
Shows the two crucial elements of cloud agent infrastructure:
- states management
- security.

If you can crack it efficiently without losing your mind, you become the boss.

@RaenestApp @RaenestApp how can I update the name on my USD receiving account?

The payment is getting reversed because I have a third name in the account while the sender can only add the first name and the last name. I want to remove the third name.

[Abdulsalam Elhakamy @itselhakamy]

@OpenAI OpenAI has fully woken up from its slumber.

Nice updates. 👏🏻
