I'm here for a conference on Malaria prevention campaigns, using bed nets and seasonal malaria chemoprevention.
These are widely considered as the most impactful interventions in health today and I'm proud that we are working in this field. www.givewell.org/charities/to...
Hello from Uganda, the 31st most populated country in the world, with a population of 50 million and $45 spent per capita on health care (to give a reference, the USA are spending $13,473 and Belgium $5,931).

A blog post that I use a lot internally: multitasked.net/2025/06/23/t...
"Don't fall into the anti-AI hype" by @antirez.bsky.social
I'm in general agreement with that article, the positivity but also the worries about jobs.
Ending DEI practices in college admissions will expose an uncomfortable truth. Women now outperform men academically.
If universities stop trying to gender balance incoming classes but instead admit based on merit, they’ll reject men at higher rates than they do today.
The Most Destructive Popup in Google Drive

And since I’m using that for a task that I do think can avoid hundreds of hours of admin work for health workers, it’s hard to argue against any of this.
It’s a bit mind boggling. Feeling like I’m at major speed increase in my career, a bit like when Firebug appeared.
Gave a try to AI agents (devin and chatgpt codex) making pull requests to your repository based on chat commands and I must say that the productivity of that workflow is super high.
I first shared this 10 years ago. I'd be glad if I could stop doing that but it's more relevant now than before 🤷♂️
I have two open positions in my team to work on open source software tools used to track nutrition programs and health campaigns.
We are using Django, Postgres, React and AWS, but we are open to good profiles knowing different, but similar, tools. Remote OK

I have a nice opportunity:
We're recruiting a fullstack (Django/React) to work on a project on optimization of the ressources dedicated to polio vaccination campaigns: www.bluesquarehub.com/blog/vacanci...
It's a remote friendly job.

Did I buy a domain name? You have no proof.
Hey, at least, it means that I keep dreaming of new projects 😄
To compensate, I turned auto renew off on 4 others, so, all in all, it's a win 🤷

Not surprisingly, power hungry people tend to accrue the most power.
That said, I think the book is really worth a read, it's enlightning to read about the raw thoughts of Zuckerberg as his power grew.
I'm currently reading Careless People by Sarah Wynn-Williams about Facebook and how it grew as a political force, and I'm a little depressed at how amoral people seem to have an edge in conquering power.
Kurt Vonnegut tells his wife he's going out to buy an envelope: "Oh, she says, well, you're not a poor man. You know, why don't you go online and buy a hundred envelopes and put them in the closet? And so I pretend not to hear her. And go out to get an envelope because I'm going to have a hell of a good time in the process of buying one envelope. I meet a lot of people. And see some great looking babies. And a fire engine goes by. And I give them the thumbs up. And I'll ask a woman what kind of dog that is. And, and I don't know. The moral of the story is — we're here on Earth to fart around And, of course, the computers will do us out of that. And what the computer people don't realize, or they don't care, is we're dancing animals. You know, we love to move around. And it's like we're not supposed to dance at all anymore."
Kurt Vonnegut man

So, obviously, I posted this on my blog: "The Open Web Strikes Back in the Time of AI Chatbots"
multitasked.net/2025/02/23/t...
As AI chatbots are replacing search engines for lots of people, it remains important to share the details you want known about yourself on public platforms, not only closed ones.
None of my old posts from Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn or Instagram appear in their sources, likely because these platforms are closed and block data-gathering bots. In contrast, my blog, along with our company’s and projects’ websites, are heavily referenced.
After testing AI Chatbots’ knowledge on topics I’m familiar with—including myself, my company, and the projects I’m involved in—I’ve noticed that most of the content they reference comes from the open web.
I much preferred it when I didn't have to think about the US president every day.
Shout out to DaisyDisk daisydiskapp.com an awesome little app to find what's taking space on your Mac.
Well worth the 10$
I was able to reclaim 20% of my hard drive in 5 minutes.
I'm sure there are cheaper solutions, but I've been using this for year, and it's always a delight.
