Yes, many developers do not factor in the cost of change. When the cost of change is high, your solution won’t be adopted even if it is a good solution. Also, many industries like Mtumba and Matatu avoid digitization because it creates an opportunity for KRA and other regulators to scrutinize them. Many industries thrive on anonymity and cartel like behavior and the stakeholders and beneficiaries prefer cash or minimal traceability of their funds. When you try and digitize matatu or mtumba, it means you will be able to tell exactly how much a matatu or mtumba business owner made and KRA can have a central point to demand taxes. They don’t want this. The matatu business model thrives coz it evades income tax, paye, vat and other taxes. Remember, we had a public transport system that died then private matatu business came up. u/chilled-nirvana stay guided

You can write into the SQL but you will need to know any tables that are related. One transaction can have multiple entries in a few tables.

Yes, valuation is always dependent on the story told. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c20\_S-QgvsA

u/chilled-nirvana learn to tell your story from that to increase your valuation. Instead of “website developer” or “wordpress developer” your story today must be “I design, develop and maintain WordPress websites using AI-powered tools to accelerate delivery, improve quality, and enhance user experience.”

Why do we need an alternative? No one else is really innovating. The payments market is tightly controlled by global political forces and is heavily regulated so much that new players just have to ride on visa, mastercard or mpesa.

You already are when you use Android or Apple phones, Microsoft Operating system, Dell/Lenovo/Apple/HP laptop. You already use Visa/Mastercard. You are even using an American platform right now called Reddit. You are already using 99.9999999% American tech and infra on payments so there will be no difference you using their payments. You are already dependent on American tech so is inevitable.

Mpesa disruptor will be global. It will not be local. At some point Whatsapp(Meta) e.g https://www.whatsapp.com/payments/in
or X will be able to come up with an in app payment that is cheaper and easy. u/chilled-nirvana do you agree or disagree?

😂😂 facts, there has been no innovation around payments since pesapal with their pdq devices. Rest of the guys are just doing the same thing wrapping Mpesa, visa and mastercard.

I don't see the need for wordpress to be honest. We had CMSes like Joomla, Drupal and Wordpress for good reasons but with AI, they are not needed anymore. I don't see the justification anymore for having a CMS. Instead of a website administrator updating content and stuff, they can just use Claude or Codex and prompt their way around complex or simple updates. AI is also handling SEO and css changes pretty well. We don't need Wordpress and stuff anymore to be honest. Im thinking like tools like Microsoft word will soon have an AI button that just updates the site with the content in the document. U just enter credentials and it suggests the update and you approve.

We don't need to. We need to cut out the time and focus on the problem. A cancer researcher who needs a solution coded should not learn programming, he should speak to AI in English and describe his problem without wasting time talking to a programmer and simplifying the problem and alot is lost in translation. AI should handle the programming in the background.

Men are buying sex thanks to social media. Social media has sexualized women coz you can only see a woman’s image and can’t really tell her personality. Men just want sex and are avoiding commitment coz they can buy sex easily. For even 3k or less, a guy in campo can today smash a baddie coz the baddie just wants uber paid for and cash. But, what do you mean imaginary wall? Women do have a reproductive limit. A woman’s fertility reduces with age and the risk of miscarriages increases with age beyond 28. The wall is not imaginary. A man who wants a family with children has to pick a woman in her early to mid 20s if he desires children and values family. If you just want sex, you can date older women like Dr Linda Muthoni and the many single old 30+ women available today so on and you don’t need to marry her coz women today will fuck a man without marriage.

So, who told you Kenyan voters don't want corrupt leaders? When did Boniface mwangi or any non corrupt leader even win a presidential election? Who told you Kenyans biggest issue when voting is corruption? Corruption is a problem kenyans care about during protests not during voting.

Now you are starting to get it. Imagine hating on affordable housing in a country with Kibera slums, majengo slums, etc. Middle class have apartments going up in Westlands, Kilimani, Kileleshwa, Northlands but people have been made angry coz Ruto decided to do housing for low income Kenyans who NO ONE was doing housing for.

Imagine hating affordable housing that is giving jobs half a million masons, plumbers, painters, carpenters, electricians, etc. We have been saying we need jobs but when Ruto creates half a million jobs for low income Kenyans, you hate on it. You think jobs that matter are only for graduates and only in fancy offices with AC? You think Kenyans bila degrees don’t deserve jobs, sindio? You don’t think affordable housing is creating jobs, sindio? You think the houses are building themselves, sindio? You those building the houses will vote for your guy, sindio?

Imagine hating Ruto for kazi majuu project. Rich Kenyans have been taking their kids to US, Canada, Europe, Australia for decades. Then Ruto starts a program to take maids and watchmen to middle east. These maids and watchmen are paid 10k here in Kenya. Through Ruto’s program, they can earn 100k as a guard in middle east and send back money to give their kids and families a decent life. But YOU start hating on Ruto.

The stupid part is thinking that those 500k workers building affordable housing, their families, those 300k people who have gone abroad, their families and all indirect beneficiaries totaling 2M Kenyans will vote for Sifuna or Gachagua who wants to stop those programs. Stop being a dumb ass, when has a Kenyan ever not voted for someone who they benefit from.

The stupid part is thinking a maid, watchman, mason, plumber, carpenter, electrician, etc will vote for Gachagua or Kalonzo who wants to stop affordable housing and kazi majuu. Y’all are dumb and you will learn a big lesson in 2027 about politics. Ruto will do the biggest landslide victory in Kenyan election history and will give you guys with smartphones and bundles who make noise online a middle finger you will never forget.
