Telegram's CDN and Custom lightweight protocol is So advanced that you can use telegram to check if your internet is working or not

It works well with weak internet because it uses a custom lightweight protocol called MTProto, which is highly efficient and resilient on low-bandwidth, high-latency, or unstable connections.

For popular content, Telegram encrypts files and distributes copies to regional CDN nodes worldwide. This brings data closer to users, reducing distance and improving speeds even in remote or congested areas, without the CDN being able to read the content.

The app also supports smart routing, easy proxies (especially MTProto proxies), and resumable downloads, allowing it to handle flaky networks better than most competitors.

Telegram was designed from the start for mobile and unreliable connections, making it snappy where other apps struggle and it works starting from 2G/3G network

Continued..As you know, telegram have roughly 30-40 engineers, But Durov hand-picks top programmers (often math olympiad winners, ACM ICPC champions, and elite competitive coders with sky-high ratings).

His brother Nikolai Durov, a brilliant mathematician and cryptographer, personally designed the core MTProto protocol, which make telegram efficiency on weak networks.

They have no HR department, no middle managers, no office. Durov acts as the sole product manager and developers communicate directly with him, making fast decisions, and avoid meetings/waste. This keeps everyone focused on high-impact coding.
They build everything from scratch that scale with minimal maintenance (lightweight protocol, distributed servers, automation, cloud infrastructure). Many routine tasks (support, moderation) run on bots and automation even before AI era.

Lol

Ethiopia has been added to the supported countries for the Claude API. I just tested it and was able to use the model in my editor’s Claude extension and CLI without a VPN.

However, the main chat website (claude.com) still redirects to 'country not supported.' I expect it to be fully available in Ethiopia soon! 🇪🇹

I don't like when you applied a job or internship and companies ghost you. It was really hard to manage all application process, especially when you have lot of applicant and positions.

Learning from our previous mistake, We have fully launched career portal talent.horan.et Every move is tracked, resume review, basic filtering like basic programming skill is filtered automatically.
Then it move to our tech recruiter, who work on this, every process (reviewing, shortlisted, interview, rejection) you will get email. and we can send offer anytime for all in this pool

Attending Ethiopian Association of Startup Ecosystem

https://www.linkedin.com/company/ease251/

The Ethiopian tech community is growing very fast, and it’s becoming more mature. Compared to many other industries, software and related tech fields are much easier to enter. A beginner only needs a laptop and internet access, and there are resources everywhere countless local channels, communities, and content creators.

That’s really encouraging and appreciated. It feels like a golden age for tech in 🇪🇹. There are also many developers and individuals succeeding in the local market, doing remote work, and living decent lives, even though many of them don’t create content or even have active LinkedIn accounts.

Overall, it’s exciting to see.

But these days, I’ve started noticing a gap when it comes to entrepreneurship. Things may look shiny on the surface, and there’s a lot of unconfirmed information going around, but I heard that more than 30,000 “Software Development” licenses were issued in 2018 E.C. Because of this, the government even introduced a special certification process through the Ministry of Innovation to establish new tech companies. So you need this certification to form a comany https://www.eservices.gov.et/en/services/1381-1063-1428/instruction

The reality is that most of the problems you face on this path cannot be solved through internet searches, ChatGPT, or asking questions in Telegram groups. I’m not even talking about the bureaucracy of getting a license — that’s actually the easiest part.

At that stage, you mainly rely on your circle, and sadly, it’s hard to find experienced people you can openly ask for guidance. The big players have already figured things out through years of experience, but it’s not easy to gather that knowledge yourself. Either they don’t want to share, or they are afraid to share.

When you combine this with the uncertainty and instability of the country, it can easily push you into a very difficult corner.

I wrote this after observing several tech companies that were created a few years ago and eventually failed.

So beyond all the hype, and before starting the entrepreneurship journey, think carefully about these realities and prepare yourself for them.
