"Teaching is a humbling and deeply educational experience, and I cannot recommend it enough!" --Jon Gjengset. Thank you, Jon, for giving your time, expertise, and energy to write a masterclass on Idiomatic Rust. I've always admired your knack for teaching and hope to do the same. I just finished studying Rust for Rustaceans by @jonhoo. After studying the Rust Book, like @dtolnay said in the preface, I noticed a knowledge gap between concepts explored in TRPL (The Rust Programming Language) Book (a.k.a., the Rust Book) and terminology in the std library and Rust Reference. I wanted to close that gap, to truly understand, because I've come to LOVE Rust. I wanted to leave no stone unturned. I found the best 2nd book after the Rust Book (goes without saying, I highly recommend). As advised, in Chapter 13, Jon, I'll learn by teaching too. In the coming days, I'll share blog posts and hopefully hold live sessions where I debunk the myth that "Rust is too hard." Chipping at topics bit by bit. It used to be that if you wanted to learn the inner workings of computer programming that'd tell you to learn C. Today, I'd tell you to learn Rust. Rust teaches you to appreciate the power you wield when you write, build and run a computer program. Yes, it is complex, but "complex is better than complicated." It might take some getting used to, yes, but with time and focus anyone can master the language and that's what I hope to do. PS. Thank you @OReillyMedia for access to a plethora of golden technical resources. Thank you @timoreilly. That's two Rust books in 3 months! Grateful.

Introducing Agent Ultra - a step change in deep research Agent Ultra orchestrates swarms of agents to perform exhaustive research, build comprehensive lists, and answer questions requiring thousands of sources. In both evals and vibes, it's state of the art

RT @JamesClear: Decide the type of person you want to be. Prove it to yourself with small wins.

investing in Nigeria right now is like buying the dip.

it is an unwritten rule of life that after every prolonged period of hardship and uncertainty, there is going to be a period when you are going to achieve quantum leaps across multiple areas of your life. the only requirement is that you do not give up on yourself.

You can use Claude after hitting rate limits Anthropic secretly dropped this option alongside Opus 5.5 for some users In Claude Code, run "/low-priority" This will let you use Claude after hitting limits, but it'll be slower & only work if theres capacity at that time Enjoy!

People posting this stuff never saw real pre-AI codebases

It's impossible to hit usage limits with Claude Opus 5.5

Highly intelligent people are deep observers. They figure you out immediately, but act like they see nothing. They give you the space to talk, overstep, and show your real hand. By the time they respond, they have already calculated exactly who you are. Discernment is their best friend.

One day, you'll realize that no one was really watching, and you could have done whatever you wanted

Anthropic has no small models that are worth using right now. OpenAI has no large models that are worth using right now. Google has no models that are worth using right now.

Software Engineering is the profession of change.

please don't nerf Opus 5.5 please don't nerf Opus 5.5 please don't nerf Opus 5.5

Dope stuff.

Had an "interview" for a blockchain project last week. Camera was on, we're chatting, and the guy tells me to clone a GitHub repo and run it locally before we go further into the technical round. I said sure, but first can you do me a favor hold up 3 fingers in front of your face for me real quick. He froze. Didn't move. Just sat there for a few seconds before the call cut off and he blocked me. That's when I knew. A real interviewer doesn't glitch out over a random ask like that. A deepfake/AI overlay does. These "run this repo" scams are getting scary common in crypto and dev hiring right now. The setup is always the same: - flattering DM - real-sounding project - rushed timeline - a "quick step" before the call that's really just remote access or a credential stealer in disguise. If someone wants you to run code or install something before you've even had a real conversation, that's the whole scam. Trust the instinct. Stay safe out there.

If you build with tech or AI, you’ve probably wondered whether your work could become research and how to turn an “interesting idea” into something funders take seriously. This Saturday, with Dr Md Shadab Mashuk, Assistant Professor at the University of Salford and AI Researcher, we’ll talk about finding real research gaps, turning ideas into researchable problems, exploring funding opportunities, and building credibility as an early-career researcher, student, or tech/AI builder. 🗓️ Saturday, 26 September 2026 🕖 7:00 PM WAT | 11:30 PM IST | 2:00 PM EDT Set a reminder: nitter.net/i/spaces/1qKDzWQMMkDJV…

Felix, Our Co-founder and CTO, has been named one of @TIME’s 50 Executives of the Year for Tech and Data. Alongside leaders of some of the biggest technology companies, research institutions, and global organisations. Today, he leads our engineering team of 1,000+ people across multiple continents, building technology that helps millions of people and businesses access financial services every day. And because we're allowed to brag a little today, Moniepoint is the only African-founded company represented on the list. But this is absolutely Felix's moment. Seeing African technology represented in a room like this? We'll take that too 💙 #Moniepoint #Fintech #PoweringDreams

🚨 META JUST UNVEILED THE VR GLASSES 100 grams on your face - about the weight of a deck of cards. Meta says it has “the best display system that we have ever made,” and people in the demo were literally saying “it is like a computer” and “you could edit a whole movie just using the table.” As Mark explained this is cinema, computer, and a game console all in one, with 3D space, virtual screens, hand occlusion, and DisplayPort over USB-C. James Cameron’s reaction is probably the best quote in the whole segment “I’m inspired by what you’ve created. I’d like to see my work in these glasses.” I am completely one shotted these look amazing!

Corporate Nigeria is an interesting place. 🤣

🤣 Even these devops shims on here will not find it.
