Building a company in Nigeria through a 3-day power outage

Описание и применение

Разработчик в Нигерии адаптировал рабочий процесс к частым отключениям электроэнергии, ограничивая количество одновременно работающих ИИ‑агентов, документируя их работу и поддерживая зарядку пауэр‑банка, чтобы минимизировать простои.

Задача

Unreliable power supply interrupts laptop‑based development, limiting ability to run AI agents and progress on projects.

Результат

By adjusting agent load, documenting progress, and ensuring power bank readiness, the developer maintained development continuity during outages, minimizing downtime and cost.

Рабочий процесс

• 1. Monitor laptop battery level and reduce number of running AI agents to lower power draw.
• 2. Document each agent’s checklist and progress so work can resume after power loss.
• 3. Charge power bank whenever power is available to ensure readiness for outages.
• 4. If power is lost, switch to phone network for internet access and continue limited tasks.
• 5. Move to a location with reliable power (e.g., hotel) to recharge devices and resume development.
• 6. Evaluate and potentially acquire a second power bank or inverter to sustain agent runs during outages.

Доказательства

Once the battery is empty, my development stops.

Источник

I run fewer agents at the same time, so the laptop draws less power.

I also make sure everything is written down, including the checklist each agent works through, so I can pick the work up again without trouble once the power is back.
