Somalia couldn't come out from the civil war without Turkey's helping hand. Turkey achieve what UN/EU/USA couldn't do in Somalia. Building a strong military, and infrastructure, education, agriculture. Turkey did all those because it wanted to help the people in Somalia without no expectation in return.

I pay ~$300 a month for a small application. gcp & K8s is great services but it is not good for your bottom line or startups.

Kurian is focusing on enterprise customers

>>Should we expect an epidemic bomb from Africa? what do you think?

I know that lot of racist/black haters are praying for that could be the case. If ever happens that there is a coronavirus in Africa, that would be a manufactured "epidemic bomb" by the African haters

scaling your application is not of your current problems, put your priority to building a functional application which solves a problem first.

My friend that is how the world works...everyone helps and works for the rich. Why are you complaining about US, complain about your government who put you in need for others.

Africa is poor, because it feeds the west and rest of the world through corruption. Africans are taught corruption by the colonial empires.

My Absolute truth I unlearned as a Senior developer. your knowledge, hard work and quality of work is not important. The relationship that you have with your boss and your bank account is what you need to focus on.

trust, Somali boys behave bad in the west not in Somalia. I went back to Somalia after 27 years and saw very educated youth and wanted to change their country for better if they are left alone by some powers.

Re:Developer hiring and the market for lemons on Sunday October 09, 2016 @11:49AM (#12671707)
Where is the race equation in Joel's claim? I am a black and a great developer. Many years ago, I worked in one of the top five tech companies in North America. My second line manger called me 'a Slave' because I was working harder than my team and contributing across team. I complained about the incident, and left the company after there were no action from the top management.
