@skweird "Across times, cultures, and income levels, human beings allocate a ‘budget’ for convenience–money or time set aside to make life easier or more bearable" I loved the research and history journey I went on while reading. 👏🏿 open.substack.com/pub/foodpod/p/…

Been following this Baba since 2020. The way he understands the African tech ecosystem is fascinating. The gaps, the market, the numbers, the money. Everything. He's always on point.
