Had a long week of negotiating and signing contracts, updating my wardrobe, a session with my soon to be supervisor, all paperwork done >>>
I'm grateful for all of it 🙏🥹

What to do;
1. Make time for discussions, this way you learn how to explain your code and ask questions.
2. Get enough quality sleep / take breaks. We are more productive when we allow ourselves to rest.
3. Network and have fun! :)

i want to learn ML/AI with a focus on forecasting and optimization, but that's after getting my basics right at ALx😅 i recently interacted with a cash forecasting s/w solution from Germany and i couldn't be more impressed at how much businesses can save costs using these tools🙌

if your hand i could borrow,
by my side you would not leave,
right now my heart is hollow,
but i believe in you and me,
i don't know about tomorrow,
but i know all troubles will cease,
because earth has no sorrow,
that earth cannot heal.

Traditional VS Modern Leadership
Wakanda's leadership is often challenged because of the traditional hereditary monarchy. There is need for a new system of governance that will strike a balance between maintaining relevant culture and leading Africa into an advanced tech future.!

Well done on the deepfake.! 😃👏
Congratulations on 1 YEAR 🚨 amazing how you're a whole continent away, different timezone but your impact is felt regardless!! 👏👏👏💯
@julienbarbier42
But you only met like 0.0001% of the students.😅
Look, the tour would be so much fun - each city sets up a stage, you give motivational talks, perform AI rap songs, come with a real white lion..😂
Everybody will show up! 😂💪💯
I’m super excited to announce that I joined

The real eye opener was reading from three women from different parts of Africa yet they all shared the same thoughts on the plight of African Women

Not able to quantify the time needed per se, but if you can code in small meaningful practice sessions without overstretching yourself then that would be more beneficial.
Quality of time spent coding over the quantity, make sense?
@julienbarbier42
Oh, nothing technical (not that I would understand 😁)
It was mostly opinions on how the industry will/is shaping up, discussing the future of AI plus a few Tesla fans..😅
