I got tired of complaining about the gap between African digital talent and the clients and jobs that need them. So I built Arette to close it.

Yesterday I came across posts where users complained about not understanding the new features added to @LagosLifeApp then a few hours later @Shalom_HeyEliy drops a guide.
She’s indeed a founder that listens.
Give it time.
I used to feel this way about SE but now I know better.
That's about a 39,660% gain, really insane growth.
Numbers like this opens your eyes to what’s possible.
3 years ago @AnthropicAI did $41M in revenue. In the first six months of 2026, it did $16.3 billion! Mental!

Saying software is dead because anyone can build it is like saying photography is dead now that everyone in the world has a camera in their pocket
Not only is it not dead it's the beginning of the Kodak Brownie moment for software, and we will see an absolute explosion of it
It will be the first generation for who building software will feel no different than using it. This is crazy!
The quality and bar of what we expect from our everyday apps will be raised dramatically, we'll have personal software, we'll have disposable software, and agents will be the foundation for most of it
Tech has always been chaotic and evolving, the people who have been able to adapt and move in front of new opportunities have always excelled, this is nothing new, I'm seeing it now and we'll see it 10 years from now
Find the opportunities in the chaose and disruption, there are countless of them
Software isn’t dead “coding” just got real cheap and you will be shocked a very high percentage still uses AI as “Google”
“Don’t build fintech” comes from a standpoint of fintech being saturated in Nigeria, it was never about the money.
It’s high time companies start practicing the H-T-D model and stop complaining about mediocre talents
India does not have an unemployment problem.
India has a mediocrity problem.
Every founder I know is always hiring. Always. There is not a single business owner in my circle who is not actively looking for good people right now.
What they are frustrated with is not a lack of candidates. It is mediocre applications. Mediocre interviews. Mediocre work.
The jobs exist. The standards to get them are not being met.
That is a very different problem. And it needs a very different conversation.
