For the past two weeks, I have been building a WordPress plugin called BPMpesaGateway. It is a payment plugin designed to help BuddyPress communities monetize their websites by allowing members to pay before joining a community. The goal was simple: solve a very specific problem for a very specific market.
The Technical Grind
Most of the work happened quietly, behind the scenes. The core tasks included:
- Designing the plugin architecture from scratch
- Implementing the M-Pesa API
- Handling callbacks, edge cases, and failed transactions
- Testing repeatedly across multiple WordPress versions
- Simulating slow network connections using Chrome DevTools
- Squashing bugs that only appeared on live server
And finally, last night at 2 am, I finally got an email from Gumroad notifying me of my first sale, albeit the amount wasn’t large, but still the achievement was very significant for me since with no launch hype, no ads, just validation that someone trusted what I built enough to pay for it.
What This Taught Me
This experience reinforced a few lessons that are easy to say but hard to practice:
- Ship your V1.0.0 Stop wasting time chasing perfect code. Real users will shape the roadmap far better than assumptions.
- It is often smarter to study existing successful businesses or plugins and adapt them to a specific market than to reinvent everything from scratch.
- Validation matters more than ideas. One paying user beats a hundred untested assumptions.
What comes next
BPMpesaGateway is still evolving, but this milestone confirmed that I am solving a real problem. The focus now is on improving reliability, documentation, and overall user experience.
I plan to continue building in public, learning fast, and shipping consistently.

The most recent update on the humanitarian situation in Gaza.
A ceasefire was established on 10 October 2025, permitting the release of all hostages, yet Israel has not opened the Rafah crossing to let more than 26 thousand injured individuals seek medical care in Egypt.
1- They continue to experience a harsh famine since IPC announced a famine in the Gaza region on 22 August 2025, with two years of no vegetables, protein, chicken, or meat.
2- A maximum of 20% of the required medication is permitted.
3- As winter approaches, 1.5 million individuals urgently require emergency housing.
4- Lack of clean water.
5- relocating 90% of Gaza’s inhabitants.
6- Over 69,000 individuals have lost their lives, and at least 170,000 have suffered injuries in Gaza since October 2023.
In conclusion, with their alleged ceasefire, the end of the war in Gaza (per Trump). They halted the Gainsaid (destroying children with aerial bombings). And now they are gradually starving and eliminating them in slow motion.
Immediate action is required in Gaza.
