    Vodacom's questionable R2 billion valuation of IoT.nxt

    I have experienced this a few times in my career. You inherit a system/platform only to find out it cannot scale, is super-bespoke or even has the most ridiculous licensing structure - then you ask yourself, there was most likely a panel of high-paying executives involved in the procurement...

    The man who makes R60,000 per month selling 10 large bananas for R10 in a small town in South Africa

    What is driving the current “anti alcohol” rhetoric online

    That's why it's called a habit, all those events feature alcohol, and are in some way part of the fun/enjoyment - you have to learn to enjoy all of that without alcohol. It's not terribly hard for me, except for the beer after a trail race, but it is something one has to get used to. I...

    What is driving the current “anti alcohol” rhetoric online

    We have one in the family-in-law, and it's sad, pathetic and terrifying at the same time. Some people can moderate very well, and that goes for any substance - but some cannot - the trick is to identify this very early and then run as fast as you can in the opposite direction if you see it...

    Things that irritate you - Part 4

    People using Co-Pilot to draft their mails and chats - now I have to use Co-Pilot to summarise their bloated verbiage... Plus, all of a sudden everyone sounds like they went to Oxford.. Back in the day, it was a skill to be able to communicate effectively, now it's become a commodity - but you...

    Gauteng roads department installing AI-powered CCTV to protect traffic lights at busy intersections

    I must symphasize with the city to a certain point. When they just manage to repair/replace and entire traffic light stack, the next evening a drunkard mows them down :(

    Gauteng roads department installing AI-powered CCTV to protect traffic lights at busy intersections
