flywithdolp··on Turkey unveils first fully domestically-produced car in $3.7B bet on electric
I've been traveling in Turkey few months ago. Was extremely impressed by the resources this vast country have and by the wealth its citizens (in Istanbul) used to have.

Turkey have healthy infrastructure to develop these kind of industry. I believe that they can afford paying top talents from all over the world to come there and boost this industry

flywithdolp··on Must companies embrace remote work to survive?
In most cases no. In some yes.

Remote work isn't for everyone. A talented developer can work great in a team but while he is alone at the house, he won't be able to focus and work as much effectivlly like being in an office.

It goes both ways.

The problem with being smart is that it make you realize so many things that a non-smart person will never understand.

flywithdolp··on We Stood Up to a Patent Troll and Won
>Cloudfare can defend, but a mom-and-pop small business cannot. A startup cannot.

flywithdolp··on Kids Who Get Driven Everywhere Don't Know Where They're Going (2012)
I traveled with my best friend few years ago in South America

I was usually on the navigation and guiding us from place to place

When we went out for drinks at night he never knew the way back, or even which area we are

I beleive that because in his mind, I'm the one who need to guide us, his brain didn't focus on remembering places and elements on the way that can give him a clue about the way back

flywithdolp··on Our Journey From Load and API Testing Tool to Auto Regression Testing Platform
>This came naturally and made a lot of sense — Since we enable developers to record and replay API tests in their QA environment, why not use this ability to create tests from real user behavior?

That's the thing about startups. Things that seems obvious now, might not seems that way few months ago.

flywithdolp··on My favorite Rust function
can someone elaborate on this passage:

The beauty of programming language design is not building the most complex edifice like Scala or making the language unacceptably crippled like Go - but giving the programmer the ability to represent complex ideas elegantly and safely. Rust really shines in that regard.

i'm fairly ignorant on the various differences but my general feeling was that Go is quite useful?

flywithdolp··on Kreatorschool – A Nocode Significant Content Platform
It's better to link directly to their platform than just linking to this post which links to nothing
flywithdolp··on How to Be a Professional Author and Not Die Screaming and Starving
I think that nowadays authors have many more ways for revenue streams than before

Doing some ghost writing, being contributors in large publications and selling backlinks (doggy I know) and more stuff writers can do beside their being full time Author

The money they can make from those small jobs can help them to have some more freedom to continue their profession as Authors

People spend so much time in their companies on doing the same tasks like looking at Google Analytics

flywithdolp··on The Human Cost of Amazon’s Fast, Free Shipping
Ofcourse Amazon will try to protect them selfs against lawsuits

I do think that Amazon have some moral issues, Since I came across Amazon M turk.

They basically have army of over 500,000 registered workers Those people make few cents per micro tasks while amazon make x10 that amount of each task and leave tiny slice of the cake for its core users.
