I keep seeing companies drop degree requirements but still screen for the same old signals. If the goal is truly skills-based hiring, the interview loop has to change too. Otherwise it's just a nicer job ad. #recruitment#hiring
Small wins add up. That one page you read today, that question you finally understood, that assignment you started instead of avoiding. None of it is wasted. Keep showing up for yourself, even on the messy days. #StudentLife
Walked past a small hardware shop in Nairobi today and the owner was using a mobile money API to track sales. No POS machine, no bank queue. Just a phone and some code. That is the Kenya tech ecosystem I know. #KenyaTech

Reading the news each morning reminds me how quickly the world shifts. Today's headline is tomorrow's history lesson, so I try to stay curious instead of reactive.
