My dream is for Africa to become the most technologically advanced continent in my lifetime 🙌! It will take a good educational foundation to get there 💪! With @Eazi_Code, we’re just getting started 🔥🔥🔥!

Just freed up 143GBs from my machine using claude! Highly effective! Claude never seizes to amaze. New usecase unlocked 🥳! And yes, - do occassionaly game on my mac. - only did it on a machine with nothing sensitive + all mission critical things are backed up.

Had told myself I'd be off X till the weekend, even deleted the app from my phone... Then, getting into an uber at 5pm, a guy in a car across the street starts hooting....shouts Hi Ngoni, I'm KC.... And just knew, it has to be someone who knows me from X.....people who know me from LinkedIn would never 😅. So yes, KC, day made! I'm actually working at the place you saw me 2-3days a week. Say hi in my DMs and we can grab a coffee sometime 😁.

I fundamentally and wholeheartedly disagree with this notion. There is good and proven reason AI is "trending" globally. AI is a productivity multiplier in a such a way that ignoring it will leave Africa non-competitive on the global market in all spheres of commerce. Africa should aggressively adopt AI...in the proven global use cases....and also in Africa specific use case. Also, Africa should still fix issues such as the example you gave. Both can be done concurrently. Both must be done concurrently. To me, what you are suggesting is like saying a child who hasnt acquired school uniform should not attend classes. No, they should attend classes and keep up with the rest of the kids....also, they can still get their school uniform.

30mins into 2nd half and it’s 7-7. Glad the Italians are fighting back….but the boys need to up the intensity now 😬.

31-0 in 23mins…. Think at this point I’m more feeling sorry for the Italians than enjoying the springbok dominance 😬. #Springboks

100%, I've learnt this the hard way a few times in my life. Ideas are cheap....execution and earning revenue is where its at 💪!

I’m 100% for democracy…but hear me out here, you’re the richest person in the world, you spend $465mil on the election and the candidate you’re supporting doesn’t win? That’s kinda sad. I genuinely feel bad for him.

2am, insomnia…all I’m thinking of is that I with is driven here with the vehicle that I’d have taken for a spin and come back feeling good about all my life choices….but I can’t even talk about that coz i’ll get phone calls in the morning about how talking about cars isn’t good for my brand…so 🤐.

Of late, JHB has not been kind to a brother 😬. The flue took me out for 3 days last week, this week a stomach ache is threatening to take me out the rest of the week…apparently I was never meant to use the water here for consumption….on the rare days it was available. Got deadlines I can’t move out so will likely have to power through…much respect for people that survive and thrive here….I on the other hand umm…😅

Sometimes I lament that AI has taken parts of being a sfw engineer I really enjoyed….then there are days like tonight, 3 deliverables from 3 distinct areas of my life….I’ve been swapping between chatGPT and Claude to achieve in the last 2hrs, things which would have needed at least 3 days….all whilst in a car parking lot whilst partner is running errands. I naively and optimistically hope that AI, long term allows us to free up time to spend with our loved ones doing things we inherently love. I’m calling it a night now….2years ago I would have continued working till 4am.

Redbull, 1 product I intentionally take here and there, but I’m conscious of its high caffeine and sugar content…Just that, it’s super effective! On days I need it, 1 can give me 3–4 hours of focused productivity. Works better for me than coffee or even taking a cold shower. People who’ve stopped drinking Red Bull, have you found any healthier alternatives?

4 years living in CPT after 6 in Joburg and up till now still not used to people driving in the fast lane at 80 and it being normal. It’s like part of the driving culture of the city….just no sense of urgency ever 😬

Winners of AI race will be the platform holders. As a daily user of Anthropic and OpenAI models...I'm surprised they've survived this long and are doing this well....but I'm a tech person. The average person will end up just using the AI tool embedded in their existing software... xitter.twitterapi.xyz/ngonithetechguy/status…

Absolute nonsense. Zim has enough talented and experienced devs to build a payment platform of this nature. I know and have worked with a few that could successfully architect, build, deploy and maintain a system like this. You just need to find the right people.

Do I need this new Mac….no. Do I absolutely want it…yes. Touchscreen, new design, the glowing logo…looks pretty cool….maybe next year. Glad to see Apple being a bit more adventurous with hardware again 💪!

Is this the end of game development 😅?

Week 1 Summary: going much better than expected. However, still not convinced I’ll stay on iOS longterm yet. Very specific dealbreakers for me: multitasking and lack of specific widgets. Software, performance and camera are great though, and I understand why people love their iphones 💪. The Good - Android to iOS switch app: 80% smooth, could be better - Animations: great, software feels alive and dynamic - Working well with my mac: hotspotting is seamless, syncing of contacts + passwords, shared clipboard is just magical!!! - Battery is waaay better than my s23+, but obviously my s23+ was 2 years older, so expected - The camera is amazing! - Performance: apps open and close faster and smoother. I only noticed this when I used my S23+ after a few days with the iphone. - Airdrop is very convinient and super fast, used to have to whatsapp myself things to share. The Bad - Samsung fingerprint unlock is faster than face ID, also works in the dark places. Also can unlock the device without looking at it, faster tap to pay. - Samsung ecosystem devices * Samsung watch → does not work at all with iphone. I wear it occasionally, so will be fine. * Samsung buds → cant track battery level. However, can use samsung find on web. Might buy aipods soon though. * Samsung ring….ummm, no, dont own one. Wasnt married to the ecosystem like that 😅. The Ugly/Potential deal breakers - Widgets * No google keep * Google calendar: small widget, I had a full screen one on a homepage for past 10years! Tracks appointments across 3 email addresses - Use of space: I can't do 5 apps in a row on the homescreen. That is wiiiild to me, considering I can do 6 on my android, which had a smaller screen. - Multitasking: I had gotten to a point where I used this daily on my android. Had app pairs I had saved together. - Notifications: stay in the notifications center even after I've addressed them in apps. Android just does it better. Fun adventure so far, will see how the full month goes!
