Growing up in South Africa, coding always felt like it belonged to someone else's language.
So I built my own.
Introducing CMT-IsiZulu โ write Python code in isiZulu South African can now write codes in their home language

More AI-generated code doesn't make your team faster. It might actually slow you down.

Human approval is unstable. Someone may praise you today and criticize you tomorrow, so it's wiser to anchor your life in deeper principles than in other people's opinions.

Of all human qualities, intelligence is relatively common. Much rarer are the character traits that make intelligence useful: curiosity, humility, and agency.
Jun 1
Everyone in a prestigious and highly credentialed position knows someone lacking prestige and credentials who they consider frighteningly intelligent.

Yesterday I went into a shop and realised I don't like spending time in shops, "Unless it's for tech gadgets" ๐ and I asked myself, what can I develop for people like me, who may be looking for cheap deals of things that we always buy every month.

Since the Hyrox hype began, we've seen fewer Sangoma initiations. Are these two related?

Stella, your statement exposes exactly why South Africans are angry. When citizens want to run a business, government demands ownership verification, tax compliance, operational requirements, permits, licences and endless bureaucracy before support is released. But elsewhere the system is far more accommodating: asylum seekers get Section 22 permits that legalise their stay, and school rules also accept asylum/refugee documents and even affidavits where official papers are missing. Then people like Mbeki, Mantashe and Dlamini Zuma have the nerve to talk as if South Africans are the ones who are unskilled or unemployable. No! Thatโs BS! the truth is that this government has made life harder for its own people, then insults them for not thriving inside the mess it created. South Africans are angry because the system does not work for them. And if you still vote ANC after this, then you are voting for the very people who built the dysfunction.

Has AI made you faster at developing a software product or faster at writing code for a software product? ๐ค
May 27
Writing code was never the bottleneck.
In a typical sprint, an engineer spends maybe 20% of their time on net-new code.
The rest is reading, debugging, reviewing, deciding, communicating, and operating.
AI makes the 20% piece ten times faster and barely touches the other 80%, except by adding more code to review, which makes that part slower.

Like George Orwell said in Animal Farm:
โWhen the pigs moved into the farmhouse, they slowly began adopting human behavioursโฆ.โ
โThe creatures inside looked from pig to man, and from man to pig, and from pig to man again; but already it was impossible to say which was which."
