Islamist militants killed at least 170 people in attacks on two villages in Kwara state, as jihadi groups expand into Nigeria’s north-west and border regions. @FT uses ACLED data to map the violence against civilians by Islamist groups since January 2020: https://t.co/P8QJMr9HcE
INCIDENT REPORT @PoliceNG@BenHundeyin@officialnyscng
On Saturday, 28th February, at about 10 AM, my girlfriend and I were on our way to Epe from Ikeja when we were stopped by officers from Ladegboye Police Station, Along Ijede Road, Ikorodu.
Marc Andreessen: AI coding doesn’t eliminate programmers — it redefines them. The job is no longer typing code line by line, it’s orchestrating 10 coding bots in parallel, arguing with them, debugging their output, changing the spec, and pushing them toward the right result. But here’s the catch: if you don’t understand how to write code yourself, you can’t evaluate what the AI gives you.
The next layer of programming isn’t writing scripts — it’s supervising AI that writes them. Today’s best programmers spend their day jumping between terminals, managing multiple coding bots, fixing mistakes, and refining instructions. The irony? You still need deep fundamentals, because without them, you won’t know when the AI is wrong.
The job of the programmer has changed. Now it’s about arguing with coding bots, debugging AI-generated code, and understanding why something doesn’t work or isn’t fast enough. AI abstracts the work — but only people who truly understand code can tell if the abstraction is doing the right thing.
Programmers aren’t going away — they’re becoming 10x, 100x, even 1,000x more productive. Tasks are changing, the job is changing, but humans are still overseeing the process, evaluating results, fixing errors, and making judgment calls. AI changes how we code, not who is responsible.
The future programmer isn’t replaced by AI — they’re upgraded by it. You still need to learn how to write and understand code, because when the AI gets it wrong, humans are the ones who have to know why. That up-leveling of capability is the real revolution.
Remember that game we used to play in primary school, where we all had pencils and paper and someone calls on a particular letter and you have to enter answers for name, animal and thing? I made an online version
