“Business is not about having a good idea” - Netflix Co-Founder Marc Randolph.

Corporate culture is promoting the loudest person in the room and wondering why nothing improves

There is no reason to spend money on a theme park like Disney World when you can ride on the back of a motorcycle 🏍️ in Duaola, Cameroon 🇨🇲 Also, for anyone looking for new restaurant ideas in America, come to Cameroon and learn to cook their food. Their local cuisine is replacing my medicine cabinet and my definition of what great food is.

We open sourced WAXAL! - Multilingual speech dataset for African languages - 17 languages for TTS - 19 languages for ASR Over 100 million speakers across 40 Sub-Saharan African countries huggingface.co/datasets/googl…

sent this to the team today everything great comes from being able to delay gratification for as long as possible and it feels like we're collectively losing our ability to do that

MCP support already dropped without any reason?

🔐 ST DIGITAL @STDIGITAL_corp est désormais certifié ISO 27001 ! Et ce n’est pas notre première certification. Avant cette étape décisive, nous avions déjà obtenu : ✅ PCI DSS — sécurité des données de paiement ✅ OCP — standards Open Compute Project ✅ OIX-DC-2 — interconnexion datacenter ✅ MANRS — sécurité du routage Internet ✅ Conformité aux lois nationales de protection des données personnelles ISO 27001 vient couronner cette stratégie. ─ Pourquoi c’est important ? Trop longtemps, les données africaines ont été hébergées hors du continent. Notre réponse : → Données hébergées en Afrique, dans des datacenters Tier 3/TIA-942 → Conformité CEMAC, UEMOA et réglementations nationales → Protection entreprise : banque, télécoms, secteur public, industrie ─ La suite ? Suivez-nous ! La sécurité des données africaines mérite des standards internationaux, déployés par des acteurs africains. C’est exactement ce que nous faisons. 🌍 #SouverainetéNumérique #ISO27001 #Cybersécurité #PCIDSS #MANRS #OpenCompute #MadeInAfrica #STDigital #Datacenter #Afrique #CloudSouverain #InfoSec #TIA942

Wait what, you can use public Google Maps API keys to make Gemini LLM calls? 😂

When launch is far away, it's hard to make trade-offs. Everything is possible when the timeline is fuzzy! But when launch is near, it becomes clear what should make it and what shouldn't. Great reason to keep projects short!

Ingress NGINX is being retired in March 2026. After this date, no security patches or bugfixes will be issued. Plan your migration to Gateway API or a supported controller now. Read the retirement guide: kubernetes.io/blog/2025/11/1…

To reduce your stress, try not to have strong and loud opinions about everything. Smart people are selectively ignorant about most things, and focused on some things.

A new year always comes with big resolutions. But one thing Africa must resolve is this: a continent cannot grow if its people cannot move freely within it. Mobility is not a luxury. It’s infrastructure. #AfricanMobility #LetAfricansFly

L'état a créé son propre Slack, WeTransfer, Google Drive, Google Meet, Google Docs, et j'en passe. Peu de gens le savent mais... L'état a créé "La Suite" un ensemble d'outil numériques dont le code est disponible en OpenSource.

Microservices is the software industry’s most successful confidence scam. It convinces small teams that they are “thinking big” while systematically destroying their ability to move at all. It flatters ambition by weaponizing insecurity: if you’re not running a constellation of services, are you even a real company? Never mind that this architecture was invented to cope with organizational dysfunction at planetary scale. Now it’s being prescribed to teams that still share a Slack channel and a lunch table. Small teams run on shared context. That is their superpower. Everyone can reason end-to-end. Everyone can change anything. Microservices vaporize that advantage on contact. They replace shared understanding with distributed ignorance. No one owns the whole anymore. Everyone owns a shard. The system becomes something that merely happens to the team, rather than something the team actively understands. This isn’t sophistication. It’s abdication. Then comes the operational farce. Each service demands its own pipeline, secrets, alerts, metrics, dashboards, permissions, backups, and rituals of appeasement. You don’t “deploy” anymore—you synchronize a fleet. One bug now requires a multi-service autopsy. A feature release becomes a coordination exercise across artificial borders you invented for no reason. You didn’t simplify your system. You shattered it and called the debris “architecture.” Microservices also lock incompetence in amber. You are forced to define APIs before you understand your own business. Guesses become contracts. Bad ideas become permanent dependencies. Every early mistake metastasizes through the network. In a monolith, wrong thinking is corrected with a refactor. In microservices, wrong thinking becomes infrastructure. You don’t just regret it—you host it, version it, and monitor it. The claim that monoliths don’t scale is one of the dumbest lies in modern engineering folklore. What doesn’t scale is chaos. What doesn’t scale is process cosplay. What doesn’t scale is pretending you’re Netflix while shipping a glorified CRUD app. Monoliths scale just fine when teams have discipline, tests, and restraint. But restraint isn’t fashionable, and boring doesn’t make conference talks. Microservices for small teams is not a technical mistake—it is a philosophical failure. It announces, loudly, that the team does not trust itself to understand its own system. It replaces accountability with protocol and momentum with middleware. You don’t get “future proofing.” You get permanent drag. And by the time you finally earn the scale that might justify this circus, your speed, your clarity, and your product instincts will already be gone.

You need to hire people who are constitutionally incapable of watching something be broken without fixing it

Name one good PWA.

Nobody cares. Nobody cares how much money you make. Nobody cares what trauma you have. Nobody cares about what you do. Your feigned sympathy doesn’t calm their angst. Just live your life.
