As we wind down 2024, we're diving into our archives to serve up some memorable throwback conversations. Whether you're a long-time listener revisiting these gems or discovering them for the first time, these conversations capture pivotal moments in Africa's tech journey. In today's episode, we're rewinding to 2018... Episode overview: Join us as we eavesdrop on a fascinating corridor conversation from Afrobytes Tech Marketplace in Paris featuring Amadou Daffe, who has since transformed Gebeya from an Ethiopian tech talent marketplace into a pan-African hybrid organisation connecting African developers with global opportunities, and Adewale Yusuf, who went from leading the tech media platform Techpoint to founding AltSchool Africa, which is now expanding online tech education from Africa into Europe. What makes this chat particularly relevant today is how it foreshadowed Ethiopia's emergence as a tech talent powerhouse and Nigeria's developer compensation dynamics. Critical insights: 1. The "Andela Effect" on developer salaries in Nigeria and its impact on local startups 2. Ethiopia's unique developer culture characterised by quiet confidence and humility 3. The stark contrast between Ethiopian and Nigerian developer mindsets 4. An unexpected revelation about Paga's Ethiopian development roots Standout moments: - Daffe reveals why he chose Ethiopia over Nigeria and Kenya for his tech venture - A surprising disclosure about Ethiopian developers' role in programming Sophia the robot - The parallel drawn between Nigeria's music industry success and its tech ecosystem Market intelligence (circa 2018): - Ethiopia: 43 universities offering computer science degrees Nigeria: Developer salaries reaching $50,000, pricing out local startups - Ethiopian developers' competitive advantage: Similar quality at $10,000/year Looking back, looking forward: As we revisit this conversation in 2024, it's fascinating to see how many of these observations played out. Has Ethiopia realised its potential as a tech hub? Have Nigeria's developer salary dynamics stabilised? We're curious... - Did this episode resonate with your current experience in either market? - Should we get Daffe and Yusuf back on the show to discuss how things have evolved for them as founders? - Are you a developer from either country? We'd love to hear your perspective!
