My team went to Kigali for team bonding. While we were having a conversation this morning, I asked two Rwandan ladies their tribe and they responded “Rwanda”. I asked again and they still responded “Rwanda”. I now asked myself can Nigeria ever get here?

Frontend is actually more difficult. It takes a while to realise this 🤣

I swear we didn't plan this, but just today, we finally NUKED our entire AWS account at the 37signals company meetup! This followed moving out compute+dbs in 2023, then S3 this summer, and now finally the entire account is GONE 🎉

I never understood this separation into backend and frontend devs. I am an engineer, I can do pretty much everything.

18 years ago, three twenty-somethings walked into a bank boardroom trying to sell software they built on borrowed laptops. No investors. No big-name backers. Just laptops, a dream, and a lot of boldness. I remember a Bank IT Manager looking at how young we were and asking: “Is this your whole team?” We smiled and said, “Oh no, our Chairman couldn’t make it. He handles strategy and investor relations.” You see, we had chosen one of us to stay back on most occasions to make the story more believable. He was always the invisible one. And on every pitch deck and proposal, we listed our years of learning and practising programming: "16 years of combined software development experience!" (It sounded a lot better than saying we were barely 24 and a few months out of the university) That’s how we bought time and trust in the early days. But eventually, we stopped needing borrowed credibility. We delivered. Again and again. Now, 18 years later Seamfix has worked with governments, telcos, banks, and startups across Africa. Our identity and automation solutions have impacted hundreds of millions of people. And the mission is just getting started. It’s still Day 1. Because we believe that identity is a right and not a privilege. And everyone deserves equal access to opportunities.
