After several conversations lately about what the next-gen of Africa's tech narrative might look like, one concept I'm circling around is that of "organic optimism."
It has a few features:
1. Builders who aren't just reflecting the ambition of other ecosystems to help investors pattern-match. (though some of this is good)
2. Builders who define their conviction around where value is getting dislodged and re-aggregated in Africa by frontier tech: AI, stablecoins, hardware, etc. and their secondary effects.
3. Builders who place their mission in societal as well as economic terms; to be clear-eyed about the socio-political trends they must align with or otherwise contend with. (industrial infra, geopol sensitivity, regulatory frontier, etc.)
4. Builders who leverage legacy industries, networks, and knowledge, without being consumed by their proximity to power and hesitancy for risk.
5. Builders who sell the continent through the excellence of their companies rather than sell their companies through the (outdated) narratives of the continent.
Nimeona matusi na sintofahamu nyingi mtandaoni baada ya kuchapisha ujumbe wa kutoa pole kwa Mama Samia, hasa niliponukuu salamu za pole za Mwenyekiti Lissu kutoka gerezani.
Kwa sisi jamii tunaodai kupigania uhuru wa maoni na demokrasia, hili linapaswa kutufikirisha. Kutofautiana
study mechatronics.
especially now.
because the interesting engineering problems are no longer purely mechanical, electrical, or software.
they’re all of them at once.
• mechanical engineering → mechanisms, gears, structures, materials, tolerances
• electronics → sensors, motors, drivers, power systems, pcbs
• embedded systems → microcontrollers, firmware, real-time control, communication buses
• control theory → feedback, stability, trajectory tracking, motion
• software → interfaces, algorithms, networking, system architecture
• robotics → perception, planning, manipulation, autonomy
• manufacturing → actually turning the design into something reliable and repeatable
then combine them.
> design a mechanism in cad.
> 3d print it.
> add motors and sensors.
> design the electronics.
> write the firmware.
> implement the controller.
> make the machine behave.
that entire loop is mechatronics.
as intelligence moves from screens into machines, engineers who can move freely between code, circuits, and mechanisms become incredibly useful.
don’t just learn how to program machines.
learn how to build the machine too.
Anthropic engineer:
"You're not supposed to prompt Claude. You're supposed to build a system that prompts itself."
In 45 minutes she shows exactly how Anthropic builds agents that remember, fix their own mistakes and get smarter with every run.
This beats any paid course on agents I've seen.

I’m sorry ila acha niseme tu ila ni hivi, kama viongozi wengine wa Chadema wangekuwa na pumbu la mwenyekiti wao haki tungekuwa tumepiga hatua flani kwenye movement.
Lissu ni zaidi ya mwaka sasa anapitia mateso yasioelezeka na kagoma kuwauza Watanzania ili apate freedom. Ila hawa viongozi wenzake walio uraiani wanaogopa hata kuitwa polisi.
Wanaogopa hata kuitisha maandamano ya kumpigania Mwenyekiti wao atoke. Dunia nzima inachukua action ili Lissu atoke, dunia inapitisha miswada, inafutwa misaada ya TZ juu ya Lissu na human rights ila Chadema hawachukui action zaidi ya maneno kwenye masteji tena maneno ya uoga uoga, wanahakikisha sio maneno ya kuitwa central.
Tatizo uongozi mzima kasoro Lissu wako soft. They are too soft kuleta ukombozi. Chama kizima kinafanya siasa za uoga kasoro mwenyekiti wao.
Atakaechukia kwa statement zangu, chukia ikisha pasuka, tena ukiweza ni block kabisa, I don’t give a fuck!!!!’ Mimi sina chama na sipiganiii chama chochote, nachopigania ni Watanzania kupata HAKI na ACCOUNTABILITY then wao watachagua wenyewe chama chao na viongozi wao. So napoona the only people tunaowategemea kutupigania wanaonyesha uoga wa level hizi nakosa amani ya roho.
@TunduALissu Mungu akupiganie utoke, uje urudishe uanaume kwenye hiki chama. Maana sasa hivi ni kama chama kinaongozwa na wanawake maana sio kwa u-soft huu.

Usage limits are up, effective today we're:
1) Doubling Claude Code's 5-hour limits for Pro, Max, Team and seat-based Enterprise plans
2) Removing peak hours limit reduction on Claude Code for Pro and Max plans
3) Substantially raising our API rate limits for Opus models
We’ve agreed to a partnership with @SpaceX that will substantially increase our compute capacity.
This, along with our other recent compute deals, means that we’ve been able to increase our usage limits for Claude Code and the Claude API.
Effective today, we are:
1) Doubling Claude Code’s 5-hour rate limits for Pro, Max, and Team plans;
2) Removing the peak hours limit reduction on Claude Code for Pro and Max plans; and
3) Substantially raising our API rate limits for Opus models.
