Yesterday I switched off the screen and went out with my friends. πLasagna in a clay dish, a thin cheese pizza, cold drinks, and the kind of conversation where nobody checks the time. We laughed way more than we ate (and we ate a lot). πIt reminded me that a good week isn't only about shipping code. It's also about the people who make you laugh when things get heavy.So here's my Friday reminder: call your friends, make a plan, and go. You won't regret it. β€οΈWhat's the last meal you shared with your people? Tell me below π#friends #food #lifebalance

90% of professional developers now use AI coding agents every week. 68% use them daily. π€The edge isn't who uses AI anymore. It's who still understands the code it writes.Tool second, fundamentals first. πTema: Programming / AI

Bitcoin slipped to ~$83.5K today (-3.2% in 24h) after a 20-minute flash crash liquidated $487M in leveraged longs. πThe chart tells the story:
β’ Sideways around $85.5K all night, then one sharp drop.
β’ That's leverage unwinding, not a change in the bigger picture.
β’ Zoom out: still +5.2% in 30 days and +28.7% in 60 days.Volatility is the entry fee in crypto. Stay calm, zoom out, do your own research. π§ Not financial advice.#Bitcoin #crypto
Back at it at AfroTech Cuba Solutions. π οΈI've restarted development, this time with the client's considerations built in from day one.What I'm taking from the first round:
β’ Listen first. The best feedback changes the whole approach.
β’ Build for real conditions. Limited connectivity, limited resources, real users.
β’ Rebuild without ego. A restart isn't a step back, it's a better foundation.Same goal as always: tech that actually works where it's needed. π¨πΊMore updates soon. Stay close. π#AfroTech #buildinpublic #dev
Fast internet is a feature. Reliable internet is a foundation. π‘The best tech isn't the newest, it's the one that still works when conditions are hard.The next wave of builders will come from places where connectivity is a challenge. Watch that space. π
Being a developer isn't only writing code. π§Some days it's this: a telecom cabinet, a phone exchange, and a few hundred cables that need to make sense.Before any app runs, something physical has to work. The network. The servers. The hardware under the desk.What I keep learning:
β’ Code runs on real machines. If the environment is wrong, the best code still fails.
β’ Documenting a setup saves more time than any shortcut.
β’ Knowing the hardware makes you better at the software.The lesson: the best builders understand the whole stack, from the cable to the screen. β‘What's the most unexpected "non-coding" job you've done as a developer? π
I'm building real apps with AI now. No team. No big budget.The process: describe what you want, test it, fix what's off, repeat. The app takes shape in hours, not months. πThe lesson: AI doesn't replace the builder. It removes the wait between your idea and something you can click.What would you build first? π
Built an automated agent on Base44 today. It drafts, waits for my OK on Telegram, then posts for me.The lesson: an agent doesn't replace your judgment. It removes the copy-paste between your decision and the result. βοΈWhat would you automate first? π
Spent 3 hours on a task today. Then let AI do the repetitive part in 10 minutes.The lesson: automate the boring work first, keep the thinking for yourself. πWhat's the first thing you'd hand off? π
