Not sure about Iran, but Israel got support and kind of an open market with silicon valley and it's an isolated part of the ME anyway it's not like an Iraqi dev would casually go to Isreal to work lol, UAE not really special, most

Replace Africa with MiddleEast and it's the same, $8500 is the average salary, only a few private companies actually pay a reasonable salary, bad education, no training, expensive electronics/internet, and non-techy bosses/cl

Where did I say "they learn better"? I almost said the same thing it's how their brain works "aka enjoys/likes to receive information" I really hate the "throw a research paper at them" approach we ar

Depends on the subject, if it's one thing like "Calculate X from Y" then sure Google and StackOverflow ggwp. But if you're learning a new framework or a whole new concept a video of someone doing the work will give a bet

Some people are visual learners and some people are readers, you can't make him/her change to 100% reading just like that, it's how their brain functions, suddenly switching to reading is harder than you think. I'm a vis

I did a full switch to Postgres like 2 years ago, and a decent chunk of the decision was `timestamp with timezone` saved me a huge amount of headaches working on multinational services Use timestamp with tz, drop Unix timestamps and use ISO

So technically take the youtube description section and squeeze it as a buggy overlay on top of the video is a "viewer first" move? I'm confused :(

Personally, I'm from Iraq, regular people won't care, but politics, religious figure, government thingy with a stupid manager etc... they will give that dev a hard time, some yelling, and might just fire him

Protest all you want, but use your own productions, not others, can you tell me what would be your feeling getting a call on holidays from an angry client or a manager who might not even be celebrating Christmas? Chinese politics? alright f

I'm not saying it's bad design, I'm saying it doesn't go well with the goal and target, for example, products taking too much space for no reason, prices(the core) are not highlighted and written in the same size, color,

You're using articles or blog UI/UX, this doesn't suite the point of the site, it's really hard and annoying to navigate, too much white space and elegant text style. I mean it's simple and clean and everything... b

Not really dismissing it, but if people are too stupid to understand that if you put something in public someone will make use of it in a way or another. I believe the reason why we see this kind of news is because of the ML/AI/bi

How come this is an "oh nose!" or even unexpected to anyone? Why is this even a news... I mean it's public data anyway, yeyeye FB policies blablabla It's not like it's hacked or anything its data scraping. are you t

English is not the problem, this is a huge misconception at least in Iraq, the girl I mention? shes a CS college student who already studied C++, C# and whatever they teach... in English, her students? the are CS graduates or even already e

The level varies but in general, the young Iraqis are Hollywood addicts xD, so I would say it's decent, some are really good and some need a little bit practice. All mentors/leaders are easily on the high side

I'm not Syrian, I'm Iraqi, and I can assure you the issue is bigger than that around here (most middle east) The only positive(ish) thing I know of is a Bootcamp they do in northern Iraq for Iraqi(ISIS crisis) and Syrian refugees

Sorry about the thread highjacking! But do you work internationally, like all the way in the middle east? I'm one of the local dev community leaders in my country, and there is just so much space for proper training and education, also

I wonder what's the point of this trend... the only thing I can think of is the "looks good on my machine" and the mac/retina display resolution maybe? not a mac user so idk... I usually get mockups/prototypes bigg
