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

说明与用途

尼日利亚开发者通过限制并发 AI 代理、记录进度并保持充电的移动电源，适应频繁停电，降低停机时间。

问题

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

结果

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

工作流

• 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.

证据

Once the battery is empty, my development stops.

来源

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.
