Microsoft is investing $329 million in South Africa🇿🇦 to expand data centres, boost infrastructure resilience, and develop AI skills. This follows a previous $1.2 billion commitment, highlighting South Africa's rise as a key regional digital hub. The new funding covers land acquisition for data centres, enhancing power and water readiness, and increasing existing capacity. Microsoft stresses that robust data centre infrastructure is essential for scalable AI development across Africa.

You need to read more, and you need to consume less. You need to set aside time to do a workout for the mind, and you need to give it time to recover. Especially now that it's so easy for your cognitive capacity to atrophy. Refuse to become mentally obese.

i can’t wait.

A coworker wanted to know why I was fasting for two days. I told him I could feel some inflammation had crept into my body and this was my reset button. But you’ll die of hunger, he said. So I found this video to show him how my hormones will reward me and what really happens when we go more than a day without eating. Source: the.organic.human (IG)

If you’re African, develop a habit of reading research papers in your domain, especially now in the AI era. Courses are great and all but you get to a point you start to see patterns emerge, things become cyclical and repetitive especially if you’re like me and you care more about the knowledge. Research papers show you what people are experimenting with and what their results are. They show you where the industry is headed and the pieces being figured out and if you’re lucky or simply just badass enough, you’ll see a connection that nobody else has seen and you just might be positioned to act on it faster or in a better way than most since it’s in your domain anyways.

@sanorita0164 😂😂😂

What kind of fight is this 😭😢

so smooth… nice.

@marcrandolph @pmarca 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

Remember.... @pmarca is a VC. His job is to optimize for ROI and outsized business outcomes. From that vantage point, it’s completely understandable that he’d favor relentless external execution over introspection. Investors are paid to care about scale and returns, not whether the founder has a balanced family life or feels aligned with their deeper values. My view is different. Not because I think ambition is bad, but because I think success that costs you everything else is too expensive. And to be clear, I’m not claiming I’ve found the single best way to maximize wealth. There are plenty of entrepreneurs who’ve had equal or greater financial success than I have. That’s not the point I’m trying to make. What I am trying to show is that it is possible to build something financially successful and still have a life. You can care about your customers because their pain reflects your own. You can build with intensity and still stay human. To me, I don't see that as a compromise. In fact, it's the real win.

You’ll be shocked how much your life suddenly gets better once you understand that most of your health issues, relationship issues, and career issues, are really, at their core, just accountability issues.

People love escalating small issues to leaders who are easily distracted. Focussed leaders grow more mature teams by asking them to fend for themselves versus be their rescuer all the time.

It’s hard for anyone to be strategic if they don’t enjoy solitude.

You get paid for understanding things better than other people

@iddris the self help can actually execute the help. new era.

it’s 2026 — self-help is now abundantly available online. you don’t need more motivation. just do the work.

Shoulders for sure.

high effort in your natural domain can make pressure exciting.

talent is domain dependant. you may in an environment that doesn’t activate the natural talent installed in you. finding that domain comes through trial and error or someone who has keenly observed you and guides you. or it happens by chance.

openclaw was just eaten. software is no longer a moat — i’ve been saying this for months now. if you’re currently building any product that operates in pixel land, it will be DOA. focus on products that touch atoms — or interacts with the physical world in any capacity.
