Re:Ask HN: What about the software industry in Iran? on Tuesday December 05, 2017 @09:03AM (#15851723)
I am an Iranian software developer which I live in Ankara/Turkey. The IT Industry in Iran and turkey is a little different. Because of sanctions using cloud infrastructure is not popular in Iran and most of the companies are using their own private infrastructure which causes high cost and less reliable services.

Meetups in Ankara is so popular too. In Ankara, we have at least a meeting every 2 days but in Iran, it may be a meeting per 2 weeks. The most of meeting in Ankara is technical and they talk about technologies and tools, in Iran, most of the meeting is about business and startups.
