@sainnovationsummit: “If your startup grows too fast on someone else’s platform, they can shut you down.” Goitse Konopi learned this the hard way with GovChat. And in the GenAI era, the risk is even greater. Own your tech. Or risk getting shut down. @BM #SAIS2024 #GovChat #AIStartups #GenerativeAI #PlatformRisk #DigitalSovereignty #AfricanTech
African developers need to build tech infrastructure for Africa.

It's true this is why a multi cloud and cloud native strategy is imperative. having a balanced strategy where you can move across platforms or internalize to the maximal extent. it's a balance because typically in the start you want to leverage SAAS to catalyze the proving phase. This type of work is my expertise and core in innovation strategy and DevOps.

I disagree strongly, there is a heavy dependency on libraries in programming so as to save time and not reinvent the wheel, imagine building react from scratch🤔
