Years back I used to adore people who post "complicated" things. Not knowing that almost everything in life can be explained simply.

Now I despise everyone that tries to make the simplest things look complicated. If you're so smart explain it well instead of being so obscure about it.

Something I've been getting asked a lot and also been hearing from the community a lot is about @Bekacru_c

There's this misconception that Bek is an average dude with no smarts that just happen to make a good product and get into YC. I understand that this came cause he said he doesn't read books and said things lightly in his podcasts.

But I know for a fact you don't know him as much. Because Bek is very intelligent and extremely talented. Way before YC he was very set out on building his company and applying to YC. He knows programming very well too.

Not only that but bek is my mentor when it comes to spiritual things. I literally goto him whenever I'm battling with something spiritual and he counsels me.

So please stop asking and talking about the story as if some rando accidentally built something nice. He is veryyy intelligent and has been a very smart Christian and laid his trust on God. (So much so that the better auth merch includes bible verses in disguise)

So key take away is to trust God and hope that He will bless the work you do.

the duality of man

It's been a while since the CBE app stopped working if you're using a Safaricom SIM Card for data.

This's obviously unfair for the market and so dumb. Why isn't it getting fixed asap?!!

One of the more technical podcasts I've been on. Had fun and it turns philosophical and technical after some point. Check it out :)

One thing I keep noticing about my self is that I keep learning alot away from people and it never feels enough but its only when I engage in conversations or debates that I understand how much I have learnt about a specific subject.

I highly recommend you to engage in conversations, public speaking and debates with nice friends. It really does change the way you understand and organize your knowledge,

I actually like reading Sam Altman's works. It's so optimistic and explains ideas very nicely.

The Gentle Singularity

"People are often curious about how much energy a ChatGPT query uses; the average query uses about 0.34 watt-hours, about what an oven would use in a little over 1 second, or a high-efficiency lightbulb would use in a couple of minutes. It also uses about 0.000085 gallons of water; roughly 1/15th of a teaspoon"

"For a long time, technical people in the startup industry have made fun of “the idea guys”; people who had an idea and were looking for a team to build it. It now looks to me like they are about to have their day in the sun."
