Two contracts govern car ownership in Africa: one in invisible ink for the elite, one in bold for you. At the port, the state doubles a vehicle’s price. Duty, excise, and VAT create an 87% mark-up baked into law. Your savings become fuel for convoys that glide past in lanes

"Keep Going" is live! Since AI agents started to get good I've been wanting to use one to build something with 0 hand-written code. Recently spent a few evenings to do just that: Shipped an app entirely with @windsurf_ai 's agent, aimed at sending motivation to solo founders.

After his studies, he moved to the mecca of start-ups: San Francisco. He helped found several start-ups, all of which were acquired, raising up to $200 million. At the same time, his heart was still set on Bitcoin.
