I turned a year older. Starting a thread here on things that took me a long time to learn.

@dunkhippo33 then ask claude to create a custom mcp plugin for your gmail. it won’t have to click through a browser and read emails one by one - it will read it through the gmail api :) [speed goes up 10x] also, best practise not to mention that you use claude for email. lurkers👀

@asayf yes

@dunkhippo33 do you use google for email?

6) When I had Claude triage my inbox, it was accurate but incredibly token-intensive. It had to screenshot everything to know where to click. With lots of emails, this took forever and cost a fortune.

People have been comparing Claude Cowork with OpenClaw lately, and I agree - they're becoming direct competitors. Here's my take after using both extensively 🧵

@alexmwanzo 😂😂😂 The rest are not on the road unfortunately.

Goodmorning

Good morning, to only Diesel car owners in Kenya.

Work life as we knew it has changed, and here you are still reading your emails & checking your calendars.

@sholard_mancity This is really good work, Sholla! Next you should do are butcheries from Lavington, Muthaiga, Westlands etc.

Full preliminary report now available: drive.google.com/file/d/1mFwKxx… Review it if you can. Geographic sample mapping: earth.google.com/earth/d/1M-_Fs… Mapping is ongoing and will be continuously refined as more data comes in.

If you’ve bought beef in Nairobi recently, you need to see this. Last week, I released results from the first 10 samples. I said I would go further. I did. We have now tested 20 samples across Nairobi and its outskirts. 🔴 6 tested positive for donkey DNA 🟢 14 tested negative Let me be clear: Donkey meat is not harmful. But selling it as beef, without disclosure, is deception. Consumers have a right to know what they are eating. Now here is what should concern you: The positives were not random. Ngong. Kenyatta Market. Pipeline. Kariobangi. The same locations appear again, on different days. That points to something bigger than coincidence. It suggests a pattern worth paying attention to. At the same time, let’s stay factual: These samples do not represent all butcheries in these areas. But they raise clear red flags that cannot be ignored. Every sample has been mapped, red (positive), green (negative). Full preliminary report and PCR evidence are now available. This is not about panic. It is about transparency, accountability, and protecting the public.

@TheBigGeek congrats yaaran! one more reason to visit now.

@asayf Yes brother, we have been in coworking since 2015, expanding to one more space (covid had slowed us down, now trying to bounce back)

Tumhare bhai ki nayi space sahi lag rahi hai, bas ab thode se finishing touches reh gaye and board aana reh gaya, kya bolti public?

Nicee! Great use case. I built this functionality inside claude - & now actually dispatch a task through my phone and my desktop gets organized automatically [uses vision to read each screenshot and puts them in folders too]. lastly, also works with pdfs & other docs.

@OtakuProcess niceee! still waiting for my HTM Janata from @TheBigGeek ;)

@asayf Old watches are so lovely. Budget collection so far.

Still in Eid mode. #WOTD

@OtakuProcess thanks man! around 45 year old, in very unworn condition.

@asayf Classy!

@mrstephendeng 100%! will get some time next week…

@asayf We should chat about this!

Claude is shipping so fast, I’m having to change workflow at least thrice every week and somehow I’m grateful.

@TheBigGeek 50% to Tomato!?

Achha samaan sasta dena mushkil hai, aapko discount bhi to mangta hai na and goyal babu ko bhi to 50 percent dena hai

Free business idea. A digital-first customizable fresh salad bowl brand. Sweetgreen for Africa. If you’re thinking about it, reach out. I’ll fund the first USD5k to build it.

Why are designers cooked? Are they not allowed to use these tools? Great designers, will become even more world-class using these tools.

@ryangift03 @k_reinier told you.

Depreciation queen! — Is there any model in Kenya that loses its value faster than the Mercedes-Benz C200 W205?

AND remove the ridiculous 2% Catering Levy [now called the Tourism Fund Levy] on the F&B industry.

@CALEBKARICHU so, basically airbnbs?

@asayf Short stay apart hotel in Lang'ata behind Deliverance Church
