@JacobSobolev But is a tinder for dogs a good idea?

@ConnelBlaze Garri and dog dating? Sounds like a massive scope creep. Focus on the API design first, bro. That’s where the actual dev work is.

Seriously bro… I don too drink garri. Thinking of ideas. What about a dating app for dogs 🤔 #developer #buildinpublic #TikTok vt.tiktok.com/ZSxreqYyu/

@yabsssai You know how you want to cross-breed or breed of a certain type and don’t have to stress about it. Just like tinder but for dogs.

@ConnelBlaze thinking about a dating app for dogs is quite an interesting idea, what kind of features do you envision for it

@samuel_leeds @chukaobi What’s the major reason why churches are closing down?

I'm buying a Church. This church was about to be bought by developers and turned into flats. So I put a cash offer in over the asking price. But after weeks of delays due to land-use restrictions, the deal stalled, and the property came off the market… However, it’s about to go back up, and I’ve already had word that developers are queuing up to try buy this building again. I really don’t want to see it become flats. This place once served the community, women’s fellowship, homeless outreach, supper clubs… but now it sits empty. It should be honouring God and helping people again. While waiting on the purchase, I realised just how much the area needs more community spaces. So I’ve leased one of my own properties to Bethel Lighthouse in Walsall, where homeless people are now being housed. We’ve also started a soup kitchen there, which I’m financing. I want to stay faithful to what I already have, and if this church deal goes through, it’s going straight back into serving the community. #british #churches #england #church

@Munahcodes @ladicodez You’re welcome ☺️

@ConnelBlaze @ladicodez Would check it out. Thanks

After participating in about 15 hackathons, winning 12 across both national and international stages, judging hackathons, and mentoring a full team that went on to win, I’ve learned a lot from both wins and losses. Some of the hackathons I’ve won include Microsoft-organized hackathons, Càvistà, Squad, HelpMum, Fusion Fest Tech, Cardano, AI for Social Impact, Sui, Remostart, and the Cyber AI Hackathon organized by the American Society of Engineers. I put together something practical from all of this experience. Real lessons that actually matter in hackathons, from how to approach a problem, build the right team, pitch properly, handle demos, and position your solution in a way judges actually understand. If you’re participating in hackathons, this will really help you think differently and strategize better. Good luck in your future hackathons 🚀 dev.to/ladipo_samuel_…

@Munahcodes @ladicodez Dorahacks is a good place to start

@ladicodez Where do you see hackathons you register for and how did form a team?

@erica_wenger I started 2 and I can start another

The first project I managed in Shell was a $750K that I got because no one in the room wanted it - it was too small for them. We were upgrading the Firewater System in an old oil producing platform seating in 3,000 feet of ocean water. By the time we were done, the project ran into over $1M and it was such a success that it put me on the radar. If you are trying to break into a new role, sniff around for the job no one wants and take it. Like a deadly striker all you need is a half-chance to score. Take those half-chances.

I really want to know what people who stopped drinking soda replaced it with. What did you replace soda with?

I should apply for this 🤔

@Row_Haastrup Lmaooooo 😂😂😂

This is the funniest video of Eric I’ve seen 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Watch Pastor Josh’s @Engen_Josh reaction to Pewbeam Bible presentation AI for churches. He was mostly blown away by @pewbeam_ai’s speed.

@ciphertoone I have been thinking about this cos most times, a lot of power is lost and that could be metered and generate revenue

Solar owners in Nigeria, let me tell you something nobody is talking about. You spent ₦3M–₦8M on panels, inverter, battery. You're generating 15–20kWh a day. Your house uses maybe 8–10kWh. The rest? It sits in your battery until it's full. Then your charge controller just… stops. Your panels are literally cooking in Lagos sun producing power that goes NOWHERE. Meanwhile, the neighbor next door is spending ₦5,000/day on fuel. The tenant upstairs is rationing between charging her phone and running a fan. The shop across the street closes shop by 4pm because they don’t have gen. You have surplus power. They have unmet demand. There's a 10-metre cable between you. But there's no system to meter it, bill for it, or make it safe. That's what @tspowergrid is. We built the missing layer- a smart metering hub that sits between your solar system and your neighbors. It tracks every kilowatt-hour. Neighbors top up via WhatsApp/Telegram. You set your own price. ₦150/kWh, ₦200/kWh- whatever makes sense for your street. Earnings hit your dashboard in real time. Here's the full picture: THE HOST (you): You own the solar system. You install our Gateway Hub. You become a micro-utility. You earn ₦80K–₦150K/month from 3–5 neighbors. THE NEIGHBOR: They get cheaper power than petrol gen (₦200/kWh vs ₦330+/kWh for fuel). No capital outlay. No generator maintenance. No noise. No fumes. They just tap and pay. THE HUB: Our hardware smart meters at each connection point. It measures generation, consumption, battery state, and billing. All data flows live to our cloud platform. THE PLATFORM: Real-time dashboard. Earnings tracking. Neighbor management. Wallet top-ups. Withdraw to bank. This is the actual business. We're not a solar company. We're a platform company. Solar is just how hosts get onboarded. THE BILLING: Prepaid wallet system. Neighbor loads ₦2,000 via WhatsApp. Meter deducts as they consume. When wallet hits zero, power pauses. No arguments. No "I'll pay you later." No awkward conversations. Now let me address the FEAR: NEMSA just released new guidelines because fire incidents from solar installations are INCREASING across Nigeria. Battery explosions. Inverter overheating. Bad wiring. Mixing old and new batteries. No BMS on lithium setups. Kano's Singer Market burned twice in two weeks- solar battery explosion suspected. ₦5 BILLION in damage. This happens when there's no monitoring. No management system. No one watching the data. Our hub monitors your system 24/7. Battery temp. Charge cycles. Load distribution. Fault alerts go straight to your phone via the web app. This is what "managed solar" means. Not just install and pray. THE BUSINESS MODEL: If you don't have solar → Full Stack package. ₦6M, 5kW system, 3-month installment. Panels, inverter, lithium battery, gateway hub, meters for 3 neighbors, installation, 12-month warranty. If you already have solar → Upgrade Kit. ₦800K+. We add the metering layer, connect your neighbors, and you start earning in days. We take a 5% platform fee on transactions. That's it. You keep 95% of what your neighbors pay. IBPM installers, solar companies, estate managers- we're not competing with you. We're giving your customers a reason to say yes faster. "This system pays for itself" is the most powerful sales line in solar. We make it true. This is not a concept. The platform is live. Data loop is working. First Lagos pilot is being installed. Be your own Power Grid.

@Apple: 41 yrs to hit $800B. @Tesla: 18 yrs. @AnthropicAI: ~5 yrs. 🤯 It isn't just in a bull market; we’re in a "Time Compression" era. The lesson? Compute is d new oil,&"Safety" is the new luxury brand. If u aren't building at the intersection of AI, you're playing the old game

The speed at which wealth is being created in the AI era is fundamentally different from the "legacy" tech eras. We are seeing a compression of growth that turns decades into months. #AI #Tech

Lol… If anyone will want to start an incubator, I’d love to be in it. Dress normal and elite and go check out the businesses myself
