Sooner or later, AI agents will be hired the way companies hire humans. Not just used as tools, but onboarded, given roles, managed, and even let go. The org chart is about to look very different.

Today’s deploy lesson: My CI/CD suddenly failed with: fatal: could not read Username for 'github.com' The code was fine. The deploy script was fine. The hidden assumption broke: - repo used to be public - server was pulling over HTTPS with no auth - I made the repo private - now the server needed credentials Fixed it by switching the production server to a GitHub SSH deploy key. A good reminder while building: production often breaks when an old assumption quietly stops being true. #buildinpublic #devops #saas

@kbaahkusi This will not hold. I don't even have my undergraduate certificate yet, no matter asked for it.

Interviewer: Can you deploy to production? Candidate: No Interviewer: Do you have license? Candidate: Yes. Interviewer: You are hired. ---- Interviewer: You said you can deploy to production, can you provide proof? Candidate: Yes, here are the links of 11 projects and contacts of referees you can verify from Interviewer: Do you have licence? Candidate: No Interviewer: Denied.

Nobody tells you pricing your platform takes longer than building it. 😭

@aikins01 I didn't get the concept dude

finally ready! can’t wait for everyone to have it

@TheDumbTechGuy The penalty dierrr Dem go arrest us p3333

Highlights of the new proposal

the nita bill, 2025 says no one can be appointed as an ICT professional in a public or private institution without government certification. that is every developer. every engineer. every sysadmin. public and private. here is what the bill actually says🧵.

Shipped my lead gen tool targeting Ghana, integrated Paystack. 48 hours on Reddit and I’m getting DMs from the US and EU. Now rethinking the payment stack entirely. Currently weighing Stripe vs Paddle vs LemonSqueezy for international, anyone scaled a SaaS through this transition? What broke first?

@moshhamedani For me, it's how Codex makes me code 3 days non-stop with high code quality output Claude will end me in a day

I haven’t used Codex yet but I see some been favoring that over Claude Code. Can you share some insight on why you think it’s better?

@hthieblot Venariq: a leadgen platform that find specific people for you

Can this new X algo find incredible builders/founders? If that’s you tell me what you are building.

@lukepierceops Cool stuff

If I was starting an AI agency from zero today in May 2026, I'd build it completely differently than I did in 2022. Here's the exact 5 moves: 1. Stop selling n8n workflows. Anyone with Claude Code and a weekend can ship what used to be a $5k project. The build is commodity now. 2. Sell the audit or bake it into your process at the beginning. Depends on how the sales process goes and where the company is at. $3K-$5K paid audit that produces a real document showing every workflow, every bottleneck, every opportunity ranked by ROI. The audit is the product. The build is the follow-on. 3. Target $5M-$50M companies. Below that nobody has the budget. Above that you're competing with the Big 4. The middle is wide open. 4. Pick one industry and become unreasonably specific to it. Marketing agencies, PE firms, e-comm $5M+. You CAN expand out later on. 5. Get your first client one of three ways. Warm network (text everyone you know who runs a business). Upwork (still the fastest paid path in 2026, nobody wants to admit it). Or cold outreach and dream 100. If you're doing cold, it's not 20 messages. It's thousands, tens of thousands. The agencies that ship that volume are eating. Everyone else is wondering why their pipeline is empty (they don't want to admit they simply just aren't trying). The agencies still selling 2024 offers in 2026 are getting wrecked. The ones who shifted to audit-first are charging more than ever.

@karankendre Great one

Lost deals chasing follow-ups manually. Built an n8n fix for myself. Showed an investment strategist. He said “I need the decision-makers, not just the company.” That limitation became Venariq. Early testers, comment “interested” 👇

@4nanei Yhhhh The opportunity and the bottleneck exist at the same time. both are true.

@Ananselab the workflow-greenfield part holds. the constraint behind it is compute and grid. kenya runs about 3GW total; one hyperscaler campus pencils at 1GW. that's the part to plan around.

Africa is the most advantaged continent in the age of AI. Not because we're the fastest. Not because we have the most funding. Because we haven't built anything yet. Here's why that changes everything 🧵

the west will spend the next decade retrofitting. africa gets to build once. build right. build native. that's not a small advantage. that's the whole game. wrote the full breakdown, link below 👇 @okyerevansjohn/most-african-businesses-are-not-ai-native-10b097effa9d" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">medium.com/@okyerevansjoh…

A developer or business in accra, lagos, nairobi building today gets to ask: "how should this workflow exist if AI is doing the first 80%?" that question asked at the start, produces a completely different company. faster. leaner. more automated. built for the agent era from the ground up.
