27th birthday
شهریور 22, 1401
I recently turned 27 and thanks to my WishList this year I got the best gifts. My girlfriend got me a coffee grinder I wanted for a long time, my parents got me a shaving machine that I also wanted for a long time but couldn't get myself to spend that much money on a shaving machine. Faride got me a barfix bar that she knew I wanted. Like that's gonna help me to start working out :D And the best of all, emzi got our idea accepted in the accelerator of our choice. We're a team of 3, we've known each other for years and we're working on a fraud detection system that if it's finished, it's supposed to be implemented for one of the largest holdings in the region with more than 50 milion users. So this is going to be my project for the next 6 months. I just hope I can get it together and be persistent on this one. Let's see what the future holds for us. ادامه
Then it hit me
فروردین 29, 1401
Recently I was checking one of my Github repositories that was supposed to be a weekend project that I came across something strange. First let me give you a little bit of back story: The project was simple. An easy managable wishlist app for all the things I'd like to purchase or I want my friends/family to get me on different occasions. Nothing fancy, no special features. Just a simple CRUD. That's easy to do over a weekend, right? And it didn't actually take much longer than that. But when I was checking the commits I saw that the first commit date goes back to three months ago. 3 months, that means 12 weeks and about 90 days to knock off a simple CRUD application with at most three pages. Now I wasn't working on this app for the better part of this 3 months, I can say I knocked it off in 1 or 2 weekends and spent the rest of the time basically not giving a damn about this project. But It shook me to the core that from the moment I laid hands on this project, It took 3 months to... ادامه
The number of kids who are left out of school is increasing. Why?
آذر 10, 1399
The number of kids who are left out of school is increasing. Why? Because more people are loosing their income source, their homes, and that has a real effect on the kids. Right now, with covid-19, we’re about to witness thousands, if not millions of people lose their jobs or get evicted from their homes like never before. An eviction can often lead to homelessness which in itself can affect education of a child for years to come. Especially with the younger ones, because they are more dependent on other people to get them to school or provide them with proper tools for online education. The risk of missing out on school means a loss of education that could haunt kids throughout their lifetimes. So the cycle of poverty will continue and grow into adulthood. As bad as it is now, it’s only gonna get worse if the government don’t come up with a plan to assist damaged families. As always, it won’t. We’re completely on our own. Now if that ain’t a hostage situation, I... ادامه

It doesn't have to be crazy at work
آبان 29, 1399
I’m translating a book called It Doesn’t Have To be Crazy at Work written by Jason Fried. I’m planning to publish the translation online, so I was looking for a Static Site Generator and came across Jigsaw by accident. The fact that it’s powered by Laravel got me so excited that I jumped straight to action. Jigsaw doesn’t provide you with a starter skeleton. Instead, you must build your template from zero all by yourself. But with a default directory structure similar to Laravel, it’s easy to get started for PHP developers. So easy that I’m thinking to migrate this blog to Jigsaw after almost 6 years of ups and downs with the almighty WordPress. Jigsaw, I think this is the beginning of a beautiful friendship. ادامه

So I met a dude who’d been diagnosed with Parkinson’s and was pretty much independent. There was a sticker on his back that said: If this dude’s a-rockin’, don’t come a-knockin’. ادامه
Spending time with the “right” bunch of people

When you’re spending time with the “right” bunch of people, it ain’t matter if you don’t talk much. As long as somebody is filling the air, you could just listen and still enjoy your time. ادامه
I would say
مهر 18, 1399
I would say for a country with almost 10 percent of the world’s total oil reserves nobody should be hungry, nobody should be denied of good education or a good medicare, nobody should be worried about their old age. You know, basics of life. ادامه
Nigga moment
مهر 8, 1399
I recently came close to having a “nigga moment”. According to Huey Freeman, a nigga moment is where ignorance overwhelms the mind of an otherwise logical negro male, causing him to act in an illogical, self-destructive manner. I am ashamed. Not because of the mentioned accident, no. I wouldn’t mind a good fist-fight every now and then. But because at the moment, I couldn’t even listen to my partner who was trying to stop me from my own stupidity. I let her down. PS: My brother had a nigga moment the other day, leaving him with a broken nose. Conclusion? Nigga moments are bad for your health. ادامه
Traditional marketing is dead
مرداد 11, 1399
Traditional marketing is dead. The era where you could advertise, call or spam your way into presence is over. Making sale calls won’t get you where you need to be today. The only way to win in this game is to be talked about by people. And no one talks about “the average” one. That’s why it’s important more than anytime, to be REMARKABLE. ادامه

Middle-management meaning

Colvin: Now, middle-management means that you have just enough responsibility that you gotta listen when people talk, and not so much that you can tell anybody to go fuck themselves. -The wire (2002) ادامه
I believe once in a while you should let your friends know their presence is appreciated
آبان 26, 1397
I believe once in a while you should let your friends know their presence is appreciated. I know that sometimes you just can’t find the right words to show that appreciation. But I guess at the end of the day the best thing to do for them is to be honest with them. You just hope that your honesty doesn’t make them realize something they did not want to know. ادامه
