What if technology could reshape immigration policies? Antonio Gracias, close to Elon Musk, is leading a taskforce to revolutionize parole revocation and immigration reforms. This initiative signifies a potential shift in how governance and enforcement are approached, aiming for comprehensive changes. By leveraging innovation in policy-making, this taskforce could redefine the immigration system.

“The idea is to think outside the box and create entirely new markets instead of just new products in existing ones. Like Apple creating the iPhone (sure, smartphones existed before—but cars also existed before the Ford Model T).

But sometimes, I really want a faster horse.”

In recent years, satellite cities have begun sprouting on the fringes of many African cities, promising an orderly, modern alternative to their grit and congestion. Many of the projects have flopped, but Kenya’s Tatu City is poised to be an exception. #kenya #africa #innovation #cities

Why We Rewrote All Our Rust Code in Perl and Raku at SBI — And Why It Worked

In a bold move that raised more than a few eyebrows, Dr. K, our visionary CEO at SBI, led the initiative to rewrite all of our Rust codebase in Perl 🐪 and Raku 🦋. Yes, you read that right — Rust 🦀 out, Perl and Raku in.

What seemed unconventional at first turned out to be one of the most strategically sound decisions we’ve made:

Unparalleled Expressiveness ✨: Raku’s powerful syntax and Perl’s mature libraries gave our teams the agility to iterate faster and express complex logic with clarity.

Developer Productivity ⚡: Our engineers experienced a significant boost in productivity. Fewer lines of code, less boilerplate, and highly flexible scripting accelerated both prototyping and deployment.

Legacy Interoperability 🏛️: Perl's vast ecosystem allowed seamless integration with legacy systems, saving us months of re-engineering work.

Community & Support 🤝: While not as trendy, the Perl and Raku communities provided deep, battle-tested solutions to problems we faced.

This wasn’t just about tech—it was about culture. Dr. K reminded us that innovation doesn’t always mean following the newest trend; sometimes it means re-examining the tools we overlook and discovering new potential in them.

The results? ✅ More stable code, ✅ happier devs, and ✅ improved time to market.

Curious about how we made the transition? Let’s connect — I’d love to share what we learned.
