The human mind isn't designed for a single subject only. You can for example maintain equal interests and expertise in Engineering, philosophy and gardening at the same time. Don't let the modern idea of over specialization keep you in a box.

Looks like the appropriate name should be slop coding instead of vibe coding. #CodingJourney #SoftwareDevelopment

True software developers who have real work to do don't jump from one framework to another every few months. Stability matters more than hype.

Every discipline taught in the African university, law, political science, sociology, psychology, history, philosophy, arrives pre-structured by the civilization that created the current world order. Law arrives as English common law or French civil law, not as a tradition rooted in the actual governance practices of the societies it is supposed to serve. History arrives with the periodization of European history, ancient, medieval, modern, grafted onto societies for which none of these categories make sense and all of which imply that African history only becomes legible when it intersects with European history. Psychology arrives as a set of theories developed by studying largely white, educated, Western populations and declared universal. Philosophy arrives as a tradition that begins in Greece, passes through Rome, arrives in the European Enlightenment, and occasionally, generously, includes a footnote about African philosophy. The student who completes this education is not educated about their own world. They are educated into someone else's world. They graduate literate in the assumptions of their dispossession. And then they are asked to develop their country using these tools. The tools were built to explain a different house. They do not fit the door.

Good people cannot always have bad leaders. It is either we often misjudge ourselves or misjudge the leaders.

The reason why you only know about negative things in Nigeria and Africa is because that is what you are interested in.

Somebody on LinkedIn was like: "A barrel of palm oil is now more expensive than a barrel of crude oil." Well, that's how it's supposed to be. You can't pump millions of barrels of palm oil from below the ground every day.

Ironic how an LLM app sometimes pops up the "prove you are human" dialog box before allowing you continue.

Facebook once bought a VPN app for $120M and turned it into a surveillance tool that spied on 33M+ users' entire phones for years. This app helped Zuck buy WhatsApp for a whopping $19B and break Snapchat's encryption. Thread

"Recognizing the equal humanity of all peoples, and a need to treat everyone with decency and compassion, is very different from insisting on a dogma that their performances are all equal." — Thomas Sowell

Most of the resources you need to master any field are now accessible. But you're still not mastering anything, because you also need discipline. This is one of the reasons why the need for teachers will hardly ever gets old.

The same North that is being accused of giving birth anyhow is also accused of inflating its population figures. Choose one, you can't go with both.

A lot of things in life boils down to luck. A lot of things about luck boils down to preparation.

I don't what's with the bashing of the North I'm seeing today on this platform. But there's no need for arguing that the North isn't useless. Just stop the trucks from taking food down south for a week. Useless people can't be feeding the nation.

If everyone gets a side hustle, lots of main jobs will not be carried out properly. Just try our best to pay employees well, so that one can choose to survive without a side hustle.

One of the most important reasons for studying history is that virtually every stupid idea that is in vogue today has been tried before and proved disastrous before, time and again. Do we need to keep repeating the same mistakes forever?

It's funny that people can't see how traditional religion is simply being replaced by hardline secular ideologies, which are often more dogmatic, intolerant, and hostile to non-believers, blasphemers, and apostates. People are more godless than ever, but just as 'religious'.

In the future Zionism will be remembered in the same way Nazism is today.

Anyone can write complex code, but it takes decades of working on your craft to reach a point where you start writing simple code. Simple code looks effortless, almost obvious. Simple code reads like a novel. Writing simple code is hard. Very hard.
