Interview with “TheKuyuProject” Team
The Kuyu Project interviewed Ahmad Rufai “Mukoshy”, Founder of Yarnable.com . Ahmad released Yarnable at BarCamp Nigeria in May of 2010.
Deb: We are really interested to know how you really started to fall in love with tech?
Ahmad: Well, it was childhood passion. I use to love since my infancy, we use to have one owned by my Dad when I use to be in Primary School. Then I was about 6 or so. Even though he use to have it before then, just that I began to use it at that time.
Deb: So your dad let you use a computer while quite young, what types of programs did you like to use on it?
Ahmad: It was easy, because at that age I loved games! But my Dad was insisting I learn typing and thank god for that, now I type pretty good. 
it wasn’t easy.
it wasn’t easy.Deb: Good to hear, but of course we are learning that games can be good for learning as well. With all of your tech startup ventures that you have going, is game design also something you are interested in?
Ahmad: No, I lost my interest in games quite long ago. I do not even play them now. I’m more interested in social and propriety ventures now. Nowadays, Beacon typing tutor are used for teaching typing with games attached. But for me, I learnt typing on a computer using a typewriter typing tutor hardcover book.
Deb: Yes, that are so many such programs today. So, by social you are talking about your startup Yarnable that you founded in May of this year? How is that going? And what’s your vision for it?
Ahmad: Yes, Yarnable as I define it in my own words is a social micro-discussion site allowing users to create and share topics that interest them in fewer 140char. Yes, I built it all from scratch all in my semester break which was 3 weeks – a month.
Deb: Wow!!! that’s impressive to develop such a program from scratch on your semester break.
Ahmad: However, I had an algorithm I wrote on paper including the design plans, so it was easy for me to carry out the building since I got some sort of blueprints.
