GitHub developers watching Cursor launch its own code-hosting platform:

Also GitHub developers:
“Interesting.”
Also GitHub:
“Why is everyone building GitHub now?” 😂
AI is becoming geopolitical.
Countries aren't just competing over who builds the best models anymore.
They're competing over:
compute
chips
data
energy
cloud infrastructure
AI standards
South Africa's position in this new AI supply chain is going to matter far more than most.
Africa doesn't just need more AI apps.
It needs the infrastructure underneath them.
Cloud.
Data centres.
Connectivity.
Payments.
Reliable electricity.
Digital identity.
The next African tech boom won't be built only on software.
It will be built on infrastructure.
AI coding is moving from:
“AI helps me write code”

“AI is becoming part of the team.”

A business can survive having an ugly website.
It is much harder to survive having:
• no clear offer
• no distribution
• no sales system
• no customer retention

They forget the business behind it.
Vibe coding is making software dramatically easier to build.
It is also making it dramatically easier to build software you don't understand.
Speed is incredible.
Understanding is still a requirement.
POV: You vibe-coded an entire app in 3 hours.
You open it the next morning.
Everything works.
You touch ONE line.
The entire application develops a personality.
