@niccruzpatane Even if it's going to be the largest IPO in human history, it's still underestimated.

[Nic Cruz Patane @niccruzpatane]

SpaceX is such a bad ass company. In their IPO filing, they wrote this:

• The first private company to develop and launch a liquid-fuel rocket to reach orbit (2008)

• The first private company to successfully dock a private spacecraft with the International Space Station (2012)

• The first to successfully propulsively land (2015) and refly orbital-class rocket boosters (2017)

• The first to begin deploying a large-scale LEO broadband satellite constellation (2019);

• The first private company to transport astronauts to orbit, returning America's ability to fly astronauts to and from the International Space Station (2020)

• The first to manufacture consumer-grade phased-array user terminals at scale (2022);
The first to deploy a large-scale LEO satellite-to-mobile constellation (2025)

• The first to build a gigawatt-scale Al training cluster and largest coherent supercomputer (2026)

• The first gigawatt-scale Megapack battery installation (2026); and

• The only company capable of building orbital AI compute at scale.

BOOM.

@Officially_Kriz Register with SEC as what?

[The Onola Institute @onolainstitute]

The state of a city is the most reliable audit of its government. It reflects, without embellishment, the quality of its planning, the strength of its institutions, and the discipline with which policy is executed.

This is the kind of advice that has the Nigerian startup ecosystem twisted, and I am glad YC partners are also calling it out.

Founders started optimizing for what they thought investors wanted to fund, fintech. Now there are solid fintech companies struggling to raise, while new founders are quietly killing good ideas because they assume “it won’t get funded.”

Some of the most ignored opportunities right now:

- brick and mortar heavy businesses with real distribution power e.g leasing, @EquipmentShare , one of YC's biggest startups ever though no one talks about it.
- services-led models with strong ops layers e.g. property management at scale, job centres at scale
- franchise based scaling models e.g @onemedical , Rivia Health
- vertical fintech that solves one deep industry problem
tech that is not app or web first, but workflow, field, or embedded systems e.g. @BPSAfrica , Alliance Chemicals

We trained a whole generation to chase what looks fundable, not what actually works.

[Dr Joe Abah, OON @DrJoeAbah]

Dear @channelstv @ARISEtv @tvcnewsng @NTANewsNow, please when next you go for a media briefing with FCT Minister @GovWike, kindly ask him about the following:
1. Cows taking over roads, now including highways, in Abuja
2. Waste collection and mountains of refuse in various parts of town
3. Swarms of young children, who should be in school, begging at traffic lights and junctions under the supervision of adults sitting under nearby trees.
4. The pandemic of driving “one-way” against traffic.
5. Aggressive street traders, especially the ones selling windscreen wiper blades, who insist on putting their hands on your windscreen.
6. All commercial vehicles, including Keke, that believe that traffic lights don’t apply to them.

Others may have other things to add but it would be good to get answers to these first.

Thank you.

[eb @luwabusi]

@pector_actor @UnkleAyo Spot on.

[eb @luwabusi]

Seeing Christians drive to church on a Sunday morning and disobeying traffic lights is just crazy!!!!

Then you have the public that has carried the consequence of the last borrowing spree, backing the whiny public servants. If there's no funds, you trim your expenses, you don't keep swelling its size year on year

Households & businesses have had to trim, why wont the govt trim?

[Tolu Grey 🧃 @Tolu__Grey]

It is 2026, nobody should be selling you "spend our way to growth" and you're buying it. It didn't work with Buhari, it won't work now.

The idea that once it is infrastructure spending, then it will all work out over time is not aligned with reality.

[eb @luwabusi]

@Yantumakii What options are there to fund the deficit professor ?

[Folake @BoldlyNigerian]

Cos Nigeria has a $2.3trillion infrastructure deficit. Nigeria is also one of the lowest taxed countries in the world.

On very good years, the highest we make from oil revenue is $25Billion. This means if we rely on oil & taxes alone, it will take us about 200 years to catch up.

[Folake @BoldlyNigerian]

It stops the leak that made infrastructure impossible.

Think of it as turning off the tap before filling the tank.

So Nigerians, stop crying about borrowing, focus more of debt servicing to revenue ratio, & what projects we’re borrowing for.

[eb @luwabusi]

@movingguy001 @OneJoblessBoy He would have.

@GbezomeCache @wearegst Oh no

[Adib Hanna @adibhanna]

Had an interview with a “crypto” recruiter. We talked for about 40 minutes, and then they asked me to look at some code.

Their first instruction was to clone the repo. I didn’t. They seemed surprised, so I told them I wanted a moment to check whether it was safe first.

I ran a quick analysis with Claude.

Turns out the code had a backdoor. It would copy my environment variables and send them to a remote server.

The recruiter went speechless and ended the call pretty quickly.

Be careful who you talk to. Scammers are real.

[Engineering at Meta @Meta_Engineers]

Today we're announcing LevelUp: a free, four-week training program that takes people with no prior experience and prepares them to work as fiber technicians on data center construction sites across the US.

We built this program with CBRE because the fiber technician field, and the broader construction industry, is facing a nationwide shortage at a time when data center demand is higher than ever.

How it works:
🔧 Classroom instruction, hands-on labs + team activities covering transferable technical skills

🎓 Graduates have the opportunity to work at Meta's US construction sites through our contractor network

🤝 Open to everyone from recent high school grads to mid-career professionals

Since 2010, Meta's data center projects have supported 30,000+ skilled trade jobs during construction + 5,000+ permanent operational roles. LevelUp is about building the pipeline to keep that going.
