On another note

Best comment from one of the judges that i am goin to flex from now on
"I love the ui it doesnt look vibe coded.."

I was so proud cause recent times like if ppl saw u build cool stuff they think you're all abt vibe coding like you are not creative mnamn ena seeing ppl understand the hustle is amazing...

Hello to all AASTU fellows, ( and non-AASTU bros as well)

If you are in AASTU I am sure you have noticed the insufferable internet situation with both providers either completely down or running at 25KB/s where it has become almost impossible to even use mobile banking to pay at the lounges.

Both companies appear to be unaware of the situation from my investigations. Lets please make the aware, the sooner they know and start working the sooner this will be fixed.


WHAT SHOULD WE DO?

1. email customercare@safaricom.et about the issue

2. DM Ethiotelecom and Safaricom on linkedin

3. Explain the situation to agents on ethiotelecom's Ardi and Safaricoms live chat.

Non-AASTU alies we need YOUR help as well 🙌

Yo, what's good, builders? 🇪🇹⚡

Most of you probably know me from IVY, the offline AI tutor that went on to win the AWS Global Innovation Award, or from the hackathons, BBC feature, and other crazy stuff I've been building.

But that's just a fraction of what I'm working on.

I'm Natnael. Self-taught developer, founder, and someone who's been obsessed with building things since I was a kid writing C++ on paper because I didn't have a computer.

I've won 6 hackathons, built startups, broken things, shipped things, and learned an absurd amount along the way. And I'm nowhere near done.

So why this channel?

I want a place where I can share the raw side of building.

Not the polished LinkedIn bullshit. Not another channel recycling AI news.

I'm talking:

- AI, agents, LLMs, and experiments worth stealing.
- Actual projects, code, demos, and things I'm shipping.
- Hackathons, grants, opportunities, and how to win them.
- Failures, lessons, unpopular opinions, and occasional chaos.
- Startups, open source, and whatever insane idea I'm chasing next.

And more importantly, I want to see more Ethiopian developers building things the world can't ignore.

Geography shouldn't determine ambition.

I started with almost nothing. I'm still figuring shit out. But if there's one thing I've learned, it's that you don't need permission to build something extraordinary.

This isn't a motivational channel.

We're here to build. To ship. To win.

Welcome to my little corner of the internet.

I suck at presentations, so today I tried an experiment. We call this design engineering in AI engineering

I basically used the “show, don’t tell” method. My slides were so beautiful that I wanted to shift people’s attention from my speaking to the slides themselves.
And it worked.

A bunch of cool people came up to me asking for the slides.

I’m not a good public speaker, so I guess I’ll let my designs speak for me from now on.

Experiment #1: successful. 😂
