One unexpected highlight was an impromptu visit to the @GridlessCompute offices.
As fellow tenants at @NodeNBO, the team welcomed us into their space, where @whiteafrican walked the grantees through some of the work they're doing to help decentralize bitcoin mining through their mining operations across Africa.
It sparked great conversations around energy, infrastructure, and the role African builders can play in strengthening the bitcoin ecosystem.

Over the past few weeks I have had the pleasure of interacting with brothers and sisters from all over Africa building solutions for the motherland.
@ianktoo is one of them.
He has built Crea - an emergency response application. But he didn't stop there, he took it one step further by building tafsiri - a pipeline that scores every output for trust, not just fluency. Because in an emergency, a wrong translation can cost more than no translation at all.
That he chose Babel as the engine behind that work is an honour. But what moves me more is the instinct - a builder already asking the hardest question there is: can this be trusted with a life?
This is exactly why we built @DarajaAI. A bridge is only worth building if people cross it. Ian crossed it, and built something of his own on the other side.
Impressive work!

.@satyanadella just put the whole "water" debate to rest.
Datacenters run on a closed loop cooling system, the water usage of a datacenter for an entire year is roughly equivalent to a usage of 1 restaurant!

For those in our AI Agents meetup yesterday.
Microsoft Senior AI developer just showed how they build AI agents with Claude at Microsoft.
34-minutes. free. By Microsoft team
Opus 4.7 + 1,400+ pre-built MCP tools
plug Claude into agent → give it tools → ship to production
worth more than any $500 vibe-coding course.
