@alexmwanzo Yes...this here is alway the side of happy users. We only conflict when users decide to be prompt/loop engineers and vibe coders in the name they can create systems.

I have PayPal accounts in Kenya and the EU, and the difference is ridiculous. The Kenyan one gets blocked, restricted, and frozen so often that it is basically useless. Even after sending the documents they ask for and answering their endless questions, the account still gets treated like a crime scene. They keep escalating the documents needed to keep the Kenyan account operational and to send and receive basic money. Surprisingly, I have never had this problem with my EU account, yet I am the same person operating both accounts. The experience is similar for many fellow Africans I have spoken to. Bottom line is that PayPal just gives African users the worst of its experience. I hope the new @PayPal CEO @EnriqueJLores

Whatever Kilimani developers are constructing is no longer an Open-plan kitchen but an open air kitchen. They just throw a sink in the living room & call it a kitchen. Absolutely pathetic.

@AlexCorrino Can being obsessed at making money be a skill you develop like comedy or trading.

This reminds me of a story. Jerry Seinfeld was once asked to speak at an NYU comedy class. He agreed to do it, but told the class “the fact that you are even here is a very bad sign. I would never go to a class like this. It really can’t be taught, and whoever could maybe teach it certainly isn’t here.” Anything that is really hard is the same way. Asking “should I do X?” Is disqualifying in and of itself. You have to be obsessed with it, compelled to do it. I always felt the same way about being a pro poker player. The people who succeed at these competitive careers are the people who can’t stop thinking about them, who obsess over it, who wouldn’t stop trying to figure it out no matter who told them to move on. “Should I start trading/investing/competing?” No.

@Mwirigi @JullietNjeri I'll go one further, if you find that person using it as a friend or assistant and not a professional tool, mock them. Yes mock them. It might just save them. SHAME is an extremely powerful tool!

@ihtesham2005 I wish this tweet was written like a research paper, abstract at the top; the research + findings; finally summary. Pretty sure your message hasn't been efficious.

A Norwegian neuroscientist spent 20 years proving that the act of writing by hand changes the human brain in ways typing physically cannot, and almost nobody outside her field has read the paper. Her name is Audrey van der Meer. She runs a brain research lab in Trondheim, and the paper that closed the argument was published in 2024 in a journal called Frontiers in Psychology. The finding is brutal enough that it should have changed every classroom on Earth. The experiment was simple. She recruited 36 university students and put each one in a cap with 256 sensors pressed against their scalp to record brain activity. Words flashed on a screen one at a time. Sometimes the students wrote the word by hand on a touchscreen using a digital pen, and sometimes they typed the same word on a keyboard. Every neural response was recorded for the full five seconds the word stayed on screen. Then her team looked at the part of the data most researchers had ignored for years, which is how different parts of the brain were communicating with each other during the task. When the students wrote by hand, the brain lit up everywhere at once. The regions responsible for memory, sensory integration, and the encoding of new information were all firing together in a coordinated pattern that spread across the entire cortex. The whole network was awake and connected. When the same students typed the same word, that pattern collapsed almost completely. Most of the brain went quiet, and the connections between regions that had been alive seconds earlier were nowhere to be found on the EEG. Same word, same brain, same person, and two completely different neurological events. The reason turned out to be something nobody had really paid attention to before her work. Writing by hand is not one motion but a sequence of thousands of tiny micro-movements coordinated with your eyes in real time, where each letter is a different shape that requires the brain to solve a slightly different spatial problem. Your fingers, wrist, vision, and the parts of your brain that track position in space are all working together to produce one letter, then the next, then the next. Typing throws all of that away. Every key on a keyboard requires the exact same finger motion regardless of which letter you are pressing, which means the brain has almost nothing to integrate and almost no problem to solve. Van der Meer said it plainly in her interviews. Pressing the same key with the same finger over and over does not stimulate the brain in any meaningful way, and she pointed out something that should scare every parent who handed their kid an iPad. Children who learn to read and write on tablets often cannot tell letters like b and d apart, because they have never physically felt with their bodies what it takes to actually produce those letters on a page. A decade before her, two researchers at Princeton ran the same fight using a completely different method and ended up at the same answer. Pam Mueller and Daniel Oppenheimer tested 327 students across three experiments, where half took notes on laptops with the internet disabled and half took notes by hand, before testing everyone on what they actually understood from the lectures they had watched. The handwriting group won by a wide margin on every question that required real understanding rather than surface recall. The reason was hiding in the transcripts of what the two groups had actually written down. The laptop students typed almost word for word, capturing more total content but processing almost none of it as they went, while the handwriting students physically could not write fast enough to transcribe a lecture in real time, which forced them to listen carefully, decide what actually mattered, and put it in their own words on the page. That single act of choosing what to keep was the learning itself, and the keyboard had quietly skipped the choosing and skipped the learning along with it. Two studies. Two countries. Same answer. Handwriting makes the brain work. Typing lets it coast. Every note you have ever typed instead of written went into your brain through a thinner pipe. Every meeting, every book highlight, every idea you captured on your phone instead of on paper was processed at half depth. You did not forget those things because your memory is bad. You forgot them because typing never woke the part of the brain that would have made them stick. The fix is the thing your grandmother already knew. Pick up a pen. Write the thing down. The slower road is the faster one.

The takeaways: 1. If you’re not tracking calories, I can almost guaranteed you’re eating more calories than you think you are. 2. You don’t have a slow metabolism relative to your bodyweight & activity level. 3. People you think have a “fast metabolism” & can “eat whatever they want” actually just move a lot and/or have more muscle. People hate these truths but until you face them you’ll remain out of shape.

The watch on his wrist had stopped working two years earlier, but he still wore it because clients looked at watches before they looked at proposals. Read the full-story of growth; power; and ambition. Here for $1- ko-fi.com/s/8d718b02a7 That calmness made people think...

That calmness made people think he was powerful. The truth was less glamorous. At twenty-eight, David lived in a one-room apartment above a hardware store in Nairobi. The suit he wore to client meetings belonged to his older cousin.

The first thing people noticed about David Mwangi was that he never raised his voice. Not in meetings. Not when suppliers lied. Not when employees quit. Not even when banks threatened to freeze his accounts. He would just sit there — calm, hands folded, watching.
