Here, I write about AI, product, and building through three lenses: ideas worth taking seriously, systems that help teams ship, and lessons the work keeps teaching me.
2026
The Sequencing Strategy
The advice was never wrong, only badly compressed. It is not do one thing. It is do one thing long enough.
The Dividend Has a Due Date
Africa's youth bulge is sold as a dividend. Most of the numbers are inflated, and every answer on offer casts the continent as the workforce.
Build Redundancies
A friend's forced absence nearly killed his company - he was the only one holding the keys. Business continuity is not a big-company luxury.
La Fable selon Anthropic
Une merveille prêtée à tout le monde, presque pour rien, le temps de quelques jours. Toute ressemblance avec l'actualité n'est pas fortuite.
What If You're Not an Overthinker?
Psychology has a name for the machinery behind overthinking - and the honest version of the story is less flattering, and more useful, than the one we like to tell.
Find Your Queen. Build the Systems. Trust the Plan.

Become Someone Who Finishes Things
The world is drowning in starters. Finishing is the tax that turns a vision into proof.

Introducing Greenfield: Ideas Worth Building
Founder energy deserves fresher fields. I keep collecting ideas I will never build myself - Greenfield is where I share them, one at a time.
My AI Journey - Part 1: From Autocomplete to Atlas
Three tools, one wall, and the map that lets humans and machines build from the same truth.
The Next Global Standard is Being Written
The physical world is getting its own protocol. The earlier Africa embraces it, the better.
The Industrialization of Software
What happens to jobs, skills, and education when code becomes a factory output
2025
Where do we actually go from here?
We're compressing months into weeks. But will we reclaim the time, or just fill it with more work?

The African Tech Alliance
Assembling a Continent-Wide Tech Team
The Organized Procrastinator
