1/ CrashBay out of Milton, Ontario is doing something nobody else really tried. They built a marketplace for collision repair. Think Uber for body shops, but for the people actually paying the bills: drivers, fleets, and insurers.

@ishanxtwt @ash_twtz Linux on desktop got way better. WSL2 with VSCode Remote killed the friction for a lot of teams. You get Windows for meetings and Photoshop, real Linux for the build. Asahi on Apple Silicon is wild too. The 'ship to Linux from a Mac' problem mostly went away.

Because security isn't the only thing that matters, productivity, compatibility, and ease of use win out for most companies. Linux is rock-solid for servers and infra (that's why it runs the cloud), but on developer desktops... > Tons of business tools (Office, Adobe, internal apps, hardware drivers) just work better on Windows/macOS out of the box. > Onboarding new devs is faster when they don't have to tweak everything. > Support and licensing are simpler with big vendors. Many tech companies do let devs choose Linux (Google, Red Hat, etc.), and some default to it. But for the average enterprise, Windows reduces friction more than extra security gains. It's a practicality thing, not a "Linux is insecure" thing.

If Linux is so secure, why don’t companies make developers use it by default?

@PrashantByte09 Go dev: writes the same HTTP service for the 50th time, still refuses to use a framework. Rust dev: spent 3 weeks fighting the borrow checker, now it compiles. Kotlin dev: writes Java but won't admit it.

Every programming language feels like a different personality type 👀 Choose Your Developer Path 🧠 🟢 Python Dev Builds AI tools in 2 hours Needs 19 libraries to print “Hello” 🔵 JavaScript Dev Can build literally anything Still fixing npm errors 🟣 Java Dev Works at a bank Touches code older than themselves 🟠 C++ Dev Optimizes everything Including their own sleep schedule 🔴 Rust Dev Spends 6 hours fighting compiler Calls it “fun” ⚪ PHP Dev Keeps half the internet alive Gets roasted daily for no reason 🟡 Go Dev Writes clean backend services Adds “microservices” to every sentence

@BuildOnCircle Gas priced micropayments hit a wall fast. The hard part is settlement guarantees when an agent fires 10k tiny calls and you can't risk rolling back half of them. Does Nanopayments handle batched settlement with provable order, or more eventual consistency style?

AI agents need payment systems that can handle thousands of tiny transactions without gas destroying the economics. That’s what Nanopayments powered by Circle Gateway on Arc are built for. The Nanopayments Starter shows developers how to build: → x402 paywalled API endpoints → USDC payments down to $0.000001 → near-instant offchain verification via Circle Gateway → batched onchain settlement on Arc Testnet → crosschain withdrawals for seller earnings Read the guide: circle.com/blog/build-age…

@coinbureau Payments engineer angle: agent triggered transactions break a lot of assumptions. Retry policies tuned for human latency, fraud signals expecting human timing, idempotency keys nobody hands the agent properly. Curious what Base does for spending caps per agent session.

🚨BASE IS CONNECTING AI TO CRYPTO WALLETS Base launched Base MCP, a tool that lets AI apps like Claude, ChatGPT, and Cursor securely connect to Base wallets. $COIN's Base MCP makes it easier for AI agents to use on-chain tools, wallets, and crypto payments.

Idempotency keys in payments do not work the way most engineers assume. The key isn't the whole contract. Most processors hash your request body and bind that hash to the key. Send the same key with a slightly different amount or currency, and you get the original response back. Your new payload is silently dropped. Found this reconciling a batch where half the txns had stale amounts. The retries technically succeeded. The money just didn't move the way the new request said it should. Read your processor's idempotency docs twice. The second time, read the replay window section. Most are 24 hours. Some are 7 days. None are infinite. The failure mode when the key expires is way worse than the duplicate you were trying to prevent. What's your replay window strategy when a customer retries 3 days later?

@pulkit_mittal_ JVM tooling is the killer feature people overlook. JFR for prod profiling, async profiler with near zero overhead, heap dumps that actually tell you something. Long running services with tuned G1 or ZGC are still hard to beat for predictable latency.

The more large scale systems I build, the more I realize why Java still rules enterprise backend engineering.

Nobody promoted me for being the smartest person in the room. They promoted me when I started making other engineers look smarter. Code reviews that teach. Docs that save someone two hours. Asking the question everyone was too scared to ask.

Quantum Bridge out of Toronto closed an 8M USD Series A for post quantum encryption. Most Canadian payment teams I know still file Q Day under someday. These migrations take years. Signing keys, settlement, every TLS handshake in the stack. The shops starting the work now will be ready. Everyone else writes the postmortem.

@Temmy_omoileri @Nenye6936 Congratulations

MY SON, ISAAC OLUWAFEMI IS GRADUATING HIGH SCHOOL TODAY. I honestly don't know how to feel...... He's really grown..... A responsible young man, full of life and dreams. I haven't failed yet, as I was wished to fail, AND I WILL NOT FAIL YOU MY SON, AND YOUR SIBLINGS AS CHRIST LIVES IN ME, YOU ALL SHALL BE GREAT IN LIFE. CONGRATULATIONS MY FIRST FRUIT. MAMA LOVES YOU SO DEARLY AND KNOW THAT, THOSE YELLING HAS BROUGHT YOU THIS FAR AND I'M NOT PLANNING TO STOP🤣🤣🤣🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍

Most devs index every column they query. Partial indexes are way better when only a slice of the table actually matches your WHERE. Smaller. Faster writes. Queries still fly.

@Mr_Teekay001 the glow up is real, congrats man. X payouts actually feeding people now

Congratulations to me guyys! I upgraded from this to that in 2 years. All thanks to Elon and X payouts

@cdnuser63034 Network is North America wide on purpose. US is where the carrier scale lives, so that's where the pull is.

@PsudoMike Somehow he's trying to capture the Amerikan market, because unfortunately this is the go-to

@omoiyaakeem this looks like a proper Sunday breakfast. stealing the pumpkin seed idea

how I serve my parfait ….

@NGSuperEagles Up Super Eagles. Hope the boys are locked in this time

Team Walk ✅

@Abdulrahma14382 Hope traffic clears soon. That road needs serious attention from FERMA, this is becoming routine now

⚠️ TRAVEL ALERT: Abuja–Kaduna Highway Situation This is the current condition of the Abuja–Kaduna road. As seen in the video, movement is heavily restricted with severe traffic gridlock in multiple sections of the highway. Motorists are currently experiencing long delays, with some areas completely at a standstill due to congestion, ongoing road construction, and high travel volume. If you are planning to use this route today or in the coming hours, please delay your journey if possible or stay updated before hitting the road. What should normally be a smooth trip has turned into hours of uncertainty on the highway. For those already on the road, patience is essential. Follow traffic officials’ instructions and avoid risky overtaking or lane violations to prevent worsening the situation. Stay safe. Plan ahead. Share this so others don’t get stuck unprepared.

@GloriousGod01 Optimised Battery Charging doing its job. Learns when you usually unplug and holds at 80 to slow battery wear. Switch it off in Settings if you actually need a full overnight top up.

IF YOUR IPHONE STOPS CHARGING AT 80%, THIS UPDATE IS FOR YOU. Your iPhone is not faulty. It is actually working exactly as Apple designed it to. Apple introduced a feature called Optimised Battery Charging starting from iOS 13. This feature uses machine learning to understand your daily charging patterns and slow down battery aging. Based on your habits, your iPhone delays charging past 80% when it believes the phone will be left on the charger for a long time. NOW HERE IS HOW TO HANDLE IT: 1. Quick fix without turning anything off: When your iPhone is charging and you see the lock screen notification that says "Optimised Battery Charging", just press and hold that notification and tap "Charge Now." It will charge straight to 100% immediately. 2. If you want to turn the feature off completely: - For iPhone 14 and older: Go to Settings, then Battery, then Battery Health and Charging, and toggle off Optimised Battery Charging. - For iPhone 15 and newer: Go to Settings, then Battery, then Charging and slide the charge limit up to 100%. You can also tap "Charge to 100%" or "Allow Until Tomorrow" for a one time boost. One more thing to know: If your iPhone feels warm while charging, it will also stop at 80% to protect the battery from heat damage. Once it cools down, charging resumes automatically. So if you are charging under a pillow or in a hot room, that could also be your problem. Now you know. Share this with every iPhone user around you. Above all, love God.

@Eludex13 free real estate every time a mutual goes viral, can't lie

Having high impressions cos you comment on your mutual tweet that blew up>>>

@yallmeetbenny Naija no easy these days. Hope this season passes quickly for everybody bro

See my breakfast all because of APC 😢 😭💔 🙃

Canada's Real Time Rail goes live Q3. Phased rollout, which means most fintechs don't make the cut at launch. The ones actually plugged in by December are shops that started building backend for this two years ago. Everyone else gets to ship a press release.

Some of the best engineering managers I've worked with came from sales, ops, or finance. Some of the worst spent ten years as senior ICs and still want to write the code themselves. Promoting engineers into management isn't always doing them or the team a favor.
