I have been holding back on this for a long while, trying to get "perfection", what I have learnt however to be careful not to confuse excellence with perfection. So here is the story of Acctally

What would you build if you owned this domain minupay.com? For some reason I haven’t got anything in mind that hasn’t already existed

a lot, I own this minupay.com domain and I am yet to build anything with it 😭
how many domains do you own that you’ve never used?

This is what my timeline has become, since I commented on that @SemudaraAbayomi’s post. Is this what I have to go through? Whats this format? Ffs

Seed Stage, Episode 6: NEPA Took Light 💡 Klaus is ready to invest in a Nigerian startup. There's one condition: show him the Black Friday numbers first. That night the power goes. Then the generator dies. Tunde's last message to Luca never says "saved". By morning, Klaus sees 412 Paystack payments and ₦12 million in sales, every one recorded. So tell us honestly 👇 If you were Klaus, would you sign the cheque on those numbers? And founders: if an investor asked tonight, could you show your numbers by morning? Your books keep working when the lights don't. #SeedStage #Acctally #Paystack #NigerianStartups #Lagos #NEPA #Investors #FounderLife

Where’s the repo?
We believe voice is the most natural way to interact with intelligence, so we created Dessa, the most authentic full-duplex speech model ever built. Talking with it feels like talking with a person…full of emotion, nuance, pauses, and a natural cadence. block.xyz/dessa

This could be anyone, don’t miss the taxes folks
Wesley Snipes spent 3 years in federal prison for failing to file taxes. The day he walked out, the IRS hit him with a $23.5 million bill. He offered them $842,000. The IRS rejected it and demanded $9.5M cash. Today? He never settled it. The Tax Court backed the IRS, rejected his offer, and slapped liens across his future earnings, swallowing checks from Coming 2 America, True Story with Kevin Hart, and his massive Deadpool & Wolverine return. Death and taxes. A prime example.

I randomly remembered @mhadaily's book the other day. It was 2024: life was good, @FlutterDev was up 😊, AI was just a web chat, agents barely knew Dart or Flutter, and we were all hoping AI wouldn't get "this good" and take our jobs. The book landed right at the end of that era. Enough time has passed that it got me thinking: are people still buying books to learn software engineering? Let alone Flutter engineering? Recently a friend of mine wanted to move into software engineering. I learned from books myself, so I wrote him a handbook as a PDF (free download below). In a few months some of the tooling in it may be obsolete. Still, I'm glad I did it: he's already learning from it, and the knowledge got passed on. Questions for @mhadaily: How do you feel about how fast things have changed since the book came out? Any regrets about the timing? Free handbook: drive.google.com/file/d/1jv-…

You started a company, not an accounting degree. Depreciation. Accruals. Reverse charge. "Why doesn't it balance?" Ask Luca. Automate the rest. Keep it simple. acctally.com

BTW, steal this shape for your own AI assistant, build tool calling and RAG, • Nothing reaches the model without passing one gate • You never pay for an answer you can't bill • A failed search never kills the reply • Tools act as the user who asked • Every call is a row: who, why, how much
My favourite flow for building with AI is boring on purpose. 1. Write it down in OpenSpec 2. Aski it to draw a sequence diagram 2. Let the model build So when my tokens run out, I'm not stuck. The plan and the picture are both in the repo, and I carry on myself.
