7:23am, 1 July 2024, she asked if I was a motivational speaker. Today she's traveling with me to watch me give a motivational speech to the @Eazi_Code students, as my wife 💍. Total cost of 3 month bootcamp was +R100k. We've done it for free for our students. Also secured prizes such as laptops and tablets for the students. Very excited for today 💪! #codeTodayLeadTomorrow #coding #development #learning

Finally got the 18 Pro Max....and ummm, immediately gave it to my wife! Husband pro maxxxing....etc 😂. Thought long and hard about it. I'm not willing to fully commit to iOS yet, and I already have an iPhone user in the house who'd be very happy with the new device. I've now gotten her 16 Pro Max and will be using it as my daily driver for at least the next 3 months to see if it works well for me. If it does, I might then get the 19 next year (I hear it will have a new design). If not, I'll gladly run back to Samsung....also hear that the S27 series, coming out in Jan next year, will have new designs and potentially silicon carbide batteries. So let's see how it goes. I'm excited but a little nervous. My last attempt at iOS was with the 15 Pro Max 2 years ago, but I never made it my main phone like I want to do with the 16. Will give regular updates on how it goes. I use my devices mainly for productivity (comms: email, slack, teams, whatsapp, phone calls, hotspot for my mac) and entertainment (social media + YouTube + taking pics here and there)...so I'll give feedback on how well it's going for me! For any Android users on the fence, feel free to ask me any questions you might have, and I'll see if I can answer them from my experience. iOS, here I come!!!

Another week, another review of a car that I own...(you didnt ask for, but you're getting anyway cc @Her_PrettyMind 😅) Ok,very long story for another day, but the Range has been in for repairs for past 3 months, human error, finally came back today 🎉. 'Courtesy of my wife', got a Suzuki Celerio to use...thus been alternating between the highest spec 3.6L 6 Cylinder Porsche Cayenne and an entry level 1L 3 Cylinder Suzuki Celerio for a while now. Likely the only person in the world who can give this comparison, so here goes...😂 Pros - Its a car. It gets you from point A to point B. - Its almost like driving for free. For city driving, which is 95% of my weekly driving, fuel costs are roughly 1/5 of the Porsche. Uninterrupted highway driving, they are surprisingly actually comparable. - Manual transmission, manual windows, no radio, no touchscreen or navigation...driving to any destination feels like a real achievement - General maintenance is dirt cheap - Very tiny, easy to navigate in tight streets and small parking spots. Tiny turning circle - Not worried about anyone scratching it/damaging it when driving around...with the Porsche you worry a bit about it getting any form of damage due to repair costs. Celerio, you drive with complete peace of mind - Its down to earth, both literally and metaphorically....keeps you humble and grounded 🙃 Cons - Its too entry level. Manual transmission, manual windows, no entertainment...hard to live with - Feels a bit unstable/unsafe during CPT's strong winds at times - Very slow, 0-100 in +-15 seconds compared to Porsche’s 5 seconds. But its a Celerio, typical owners dont really care about this And thats it. Its a car, you can drive it and get to a destination, no drama. Verdict: Owning a car in most instances is still quite an achievement, allows you freedom to go places. Celerio reminds you of this fundamental fact. With the low fuel costs, you sometimes end up going to places you wouldnt have gone before. Mrs and I have gone on a few adventures we wouldnt have been able to justify with either the Porsche or Range. However, this entry level version is a bit difficult to live with. For a 2022 car, Suzuki stripped away too many creature comforts that we've all become used to. A higher specced version (automatic transmission, electric windows, apple car play and android auto, speaker system, parking assistance cameras) does exist, and would make a great first vehicle for most people. Personally, this vehicle is a bit too small and too slow for my liking. My first vehicle (review coming next week...maybe) had a 2L turbo, 0-100 in 6.9 seconds, and any vehicle that doesnt match this has felt a bit too slow for me....but thats me, I'm into cars, so in the minority. Definitely check out the IG video of my wife giving me the Celerio though, 580k views, 28k likes, and comment section has given me life...lol...🧵

I’m sure he cried all the way to work. 😭

Guys, at this rate the @ZimRugbyZW sables are bringing it home next year right 🔥🔥🔥💪💪💪! This is epic so far.

Hi twitter family, Need some help, does anyone know anyone who lives in Rosebank,Joburg area that plays tennis regularly. I'm here for a few weeks and need someone/some people to play with. I'm an average but competitive player. RT for reach, thank you 🙏!

This is not what a family do...

Ok, so I watched the Apple keynote, my takeaways: 1. Apple is still the brand to beat for consumer technology. Their integration of hardware and software creates experiences other brands simply can’t replicate yet. 2. iPhone Duo is going to be the best-selling foldable in the next year....could even beat the other iPhone models in sales. Yes, it’s starting price is significantly higher than the standard iPhone's, but it’s such a compelling and well thought out device. Apple has done what they do best here: observe a new product category for a few years, only enter it once it has matured, and then also have the most compelling product (did it with iPhone, Apple Watch, iPad....etc, stark contrast to their attempt to enter the XR space early with the Vision Pro, which also didn’t perform on the market). This won’t be the iPhone to switch me over from Android, but it could be the one that convinces me to get the next best foldable in the Android space (maybe Galaxy Fold 8). 3. Apple Intelligence and Siri AI....still not convinced. Apple has clearly made progress, but it seems like their conservative approach and privacy focus are holding them back in this space. Android’s AI integrations still feel miles ahead in capability and usefulness to me. Where Apple has a massive advantage long term is distribution. Whenever they fully join the AI party, they already have hundreds of millions of customers deeply embedded in their ecosystem and, importantly, willing to pay for their services. Keen to see Apple take bolder risks with software 💪! And one more thing...of course I’d comment on John Ternus’ 1st keynote as CEO...very calm and collected. Inspires confidence in the leadership direction. Same demeanour he’s had in previous appearances while leading hardware. Lacked the Steve Jobs/Jony Ive “we’ve just reinvented civilisation” sales-pitch excitement 😂...but felt much closer to Tim Cook’s understated style, which has probably become part of Apple's brand are this stage. At @Rapidevlabs, staying close to where technology is going is part of the job really. Exciting time to be building in tech!

Don't be fooled, that R50k/R60k/R103k per month doesn't come easy... It's a whole lot of beard plucking out and countless design sessions.
