I heard a local company say, โ€œOur Research & Development team is working on AI, making it accessible in Ethiopia by adapting it to the Ethiopian context and itโ€™ll be developed by Ethiopians.โ€

The funny part? Just last season, they were busy out there selling WordPress it self. ๐Ÿ˜

Strive for purpose over fame, but if fame finds you, let it be for something good


Aim for a meaningful legacy, not just notoriety. If you achieve recognition, ensure it's a result of your positive contributions.


Focus on making a positive impact, and if that leads to recognition, be proud of the reasons behind it.

I would rather have a great team on a tiny budget than a pile of cash and a bunch of clowns

I don't vibe code, I mostly use AI to generate test cases, which is not production code.

But one thing I like about coding agents is that they make programming more fun

Whenever I'm about to implement something, I first think about how I'm gonna implement it and compare it with the AI-generated one, sometimes it points out some edge cases I didn't think of

Anyway, this approach didn't make me any efficient but it's more fun

The new tax code is horrible ๐Ÿคฆโ€โ™‚๏ธ

The person who wrote it has no clue about law, business, or taxes.

None of the companies I'm working with will be affected, but it's a huge U-turn for the sake of "Ease of doing business."

It's practically the opposite.

Just to clarify

I'm not political, never been, so I'm not affiliated with any political party or government. I basically don't care who is sitting on the throne.

BUT I do care about laws and policies, especially civic and business-related laws and policies.

And this is objectively a step backward, which will affect the next generation of entrepreneurs ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™‚๏ธ

I don't get how people get motivated from "motivational speakers", that shit doesn't last long.

What always motivates me is my financial situation, I must break the generational poverty I was born into.

And recently, I'm grateful that I'm doing well enough to afford a modest living, and I'm picking up a new project for the challenge and thrill.

This is so true, whenever you put yourself in someone else's shoes, you start seeing the gaps in your understanding

For example, try to use your API as an FE dev and you quickly realize your design needs a lot of improvement.

Another example, I used to personally deliver products door to door to our customers to experience what our delivery agents were dealing with and I usually got something to do on our delivery app for the next week or so

Recently, I also did customer support on our toll-free line for a day to listen to real customer complaints

Anyways, try dogfooding
Feel free to Google that word, you will learn a lot
