      • S2-Ep9 - The Blockchain Lie.

        My point is that the whole blockchain data getting stored on everybody's computer that's on the blockchain all over the world is not just real, and it all still relies on a database owned by the same big names we are trying to run from.

        • S2.Ep-9 (A FEW THOUGHTS ON INTENSITY.) by Tyler Hogge.

          In this episode, I take a read into an old blog that I have found interesting, exploring a crucial trait that sets exceptional startups apart: intensity.

          Exploring its significance through observations, logic, and examples from successful founders, it uncovers why intensity is the driving force behind startup success. From Steve Jobs to Elon Musk, intensity manifests differently in each individual, yet it remains a common thread in their achievements.

              4. S2-Ep7 How Code Generators Work (Surface level knowledge)

                This week, I discuss and explain Code Generations, a concept around tools like transformers that claim to write entire code projects from scratch, but on a surface level. These tools can take a simple text statement like "build an app that reminds me to eat every 2 hours" and transform it into a fully functional program (with bugs and some bad code for now).

                ⁠Whatspodcasting

                Is this the end of software engineers as we know them? Don't worry, I'm not taking sides (yet). This week, instead of delving deep, we're floating on what I call surface-level knowledge about AI code generation.


                Here's what we'll cover:

                • We'll explore the history of AI code generation, from the early days of chatbots to the rise of machine learning and natural language processing.
                • How AI code generators are trained, including the role of open-source projects, data cleaning, and a special type of neural network called an RNN (don't worry, it's not scary!).
                • The potential advantages of using generative AI for coding.

                    Welcome back to the pod! Today's guest is Praise, the co-founder and CEO of DropX, a hyperlocal delivery platform. But this isn't your typical startup success story. We're diving deep into the difficult yet crucial decision to shut down a company.

                    Praise shares his reasons for closing DropX, the process of informing employees, and the emotional toll it took. We also explore the financial considerations, particularly the importance of cash flow positivity in the African market.

                    This episode is packed with valuable insights for aspiring entrepreneurs. Praise emphasizes the importance of choosing a trustworthy business partner and knowing when to cut your losses. He also sheds light on his background in fintech and his current ventures.

                    WhatsPodcasting newsletter⁠

                    Here are some key takeaways:

                    • Prioritize cash flow: Especially in Africa, startups need to be cash flow positive quickly. Don't get caught in a "money pit" with an unsustainable burn rate.
                    • Honest communication: Be transparent with your team when facing difficult decisions. Open communication is key to managing the emotional impact of closing a company.
                    • Learn from experience: Even a failed venture can be a valuable learning experience. Praise's journey highlights the importance of adaptation in the entrepreneurial world.
