“ I am not worried about Kenya in 2022. I am extremely worried for Kenya Post 2022 because a Ruto presidency post 2022 looks like it's inevitable and Ruto isn't someone you'd want to give a country to lead.” Bravin Yuri, 2021

Kenya has never reported a confirmed case of Ebola since I can remember. So now, we want to import it?

@blackorwa Interesting @blackorwa. Is #WhatIsARoad still operational? And maybe this could be scaled to garbage, bad roads, etc. Then we can get to see exactly where the city is failing.

❗ JUST IN: Trump is “mandatorily requesting” that every country currently negotiating the Iran deal immediately sign the Abraham Accords.
He’s even extending the same offer directly to Iran, sign the accords if you want a deal with the US.
This is Trump tying normalization with Israel to any nuclear or ceasefire agreement in the region.
This is a bold leverage play to reshape the Middle East that might backfire and potentially kill talks before they even get serious.
What’s your take; smart diplomacy or unrealistic pressure that risks blowing everything up?"

I had the chance this week to teach a Professional Python class to a room full of very smart people. My IQ was definitely bringing the average down.
Almost everyone in the room had a PhD.
Except for two of us.
One of them was me.
And I saw something I often see when I work with highly technical experts.
They are brilliant. They know their domains deeply. They know how to get things done. They have built workflows that work for them, often over many years.
But there are usually gaps around coding and software engineering practices.
Their job has usually been to get the analysis working, get the model running, get the paper out, get the result shipped, or get the thing working on their machine.
That creates a very different coding style than what you need when code needs to be shared, tested, refactored, reviewed, maintained, and collaborated on.
That is the fun part of teaching this material.
You start introducing processes and practices that move people from being highly capable individuals to being a team that can build together.
Testing was one of the big unlocks. Many people had not spent much time with it, but they immediately saw its value. Tests give you confidence. They make refactoring safer. They make collaboration easier. They let you change code without holding your breath.
For the skeptics, I told them to apply the scientific process (they are all scientists, so they can't do much to argue), apply the techniques, and verify whether the results are better.
They were also very interested in AI-assisted coding.
This class was not an AI coding class. I teach that separately.
But this class is foundational for AI coding because AI coding accelerates experts. The better your software development practices are, the better your results with AI will be.
If you bring messy habits to AI, you get faster messes.
If you bring testing, structure, environments, refactoring, and collaboration practices, AI becomes much more useful.
Professional software practices are not just for software engineers anymore.
They are the foundation for anyone who wants to use Python, data, and AI at a high level.

@DavisThuranira Individual choices should not be generalised into generations, tribes, races, religions, etc. This is where we get it wrong.

I will be the first to go and fund the first 8,000 Ksh.
Let's see how it goes, second installments covered!

I am currently attending Job Shadowing Session at @LuxDevHQ, @HarunMbaabu and I really love it. Actually I don't need my phone right now I'll be selling it to fund my @LuxDevHQ admission.

one of our clients' needs a children's home site.
I think Golden Yellow would be best.

Sometimes, you just need to market strategically. We recently started Adventure Trek Kenya, and since January, we’ve done countless hikes.
We’ve even secured contracts with gyms to take their members on monthly trails. It’s something we created because we just needed to stay consistent with hiking.
