A Day for Programmers

Under the hood, most of the things we deal with on a daily basis as programmers leave a trace of the fusion of art, creativity, and logic. A trace that belongs to programmers. How good it is that one day of the year is dedicated to programmers so that their value and work can be recognized more than ever before. The 256th day of the year, which is the last power of 2 in the current calendar, is a very valuable day for programmers. In this regard, the Tabriz Open Source Sessions group has launched a campaign to register this day on the national calendar. If you are interested in participating and signing up, please visit this website and enter your details.

Update: The first celebration of the Iranian Programmer’s Day will be held simultaneously in Tabriz (Paradise Cafe) and Sari (Nava Cafe) at 5 pm on November 30, 2014 (Azar 10, 1393). Attendance is free for all interested parties and there will be a special discount on the cafe menu.

Update: Shargh newspaper has supported the registration of this day. We appreciate their support.

Creative Mornings Tabriz

Monthly Creative Mornings sessions will be held in Iran simultaneously with 100 cities around the world. With the help of the executive team of Gap Graphic, Tabriz is the first city in Iran and the region to successfully obtain representation and host this event. In 2008, Tina Roth Eisenberg (swissmiss) launched the CreativeMornings sessions with the dream of creating a continuous and accessible event for the creative community in New York. The overall idea was simple: breakfast and a short talk on a Friday of each month. All sessions are free and open to the public, and the costs are covered by financial supporters. Today, participants gather every month in over 100 cities around the world and enjoy fresh tea and a brief breakfast with likable people. Organizers of these branches in different cities do not organize these sessions just for the enjoyment of creative and talented individuals, but they aim to create an interactive and open space for like-minded people to connect. Renowned speakers at CreativeMornings include Michael Bierut, Erik Spiekermann, Debbie Millman, Aaron Draplin, Mike Monteiro, Simon Sinek, Maria Popova, and Nick Campbell.

The trial session of this event was held on August 6th, 2014, in collaboration with the cultural and artistic organization of Tabriz municipality at the Mofakhar Azarbayjan Hall, and with a speech by Mr. Karim Zeinati. From now on, these sessions will be held by the executive team of Gap Graphic in Tabriz, one of the first cities to host them.

To participate in this free event, you can visit Tabriz city’s specific page on the CreativeMornings website after registering on the website. If you are interested, you can register for the event defined for the month. You can follow the news related to this event on the gapgraphic.com website and the social media pages of Gap Graphic Tabriz.

Jobs in here and there

I have been involved with international job search websites for a while and I have noticed an interesting issue that I think is better to be said than left unsaid. In most foreign job offers, after announcing the desired field, they state why it is better to choose them and send them their resume. Unlike domestic offers, they do not say that you should have certain conditions to be the best candidate. Their assumption is that the right to choose is with the job seeker, not the company looking for employees.

In addition to that, there is a strong bias towards specialization. The job field is “jQuery expert.” Please note that it is not a JS expert, just jQuery. This means that your job is just and only to use jQuery. In comparison, a front-end developer’s skill set required by the company includes more than 20 different skills. This is not an exaggeration.

Tweetexy, a decentralized Twitter client

Like most tools that started from a need, I decided to write a personal client for Twitter to be able to tweet at any time and place, which resulted in Tweetexy. Tweetexy is an unrestricted Twitter client with the lowest possible data transfer rate and can be installed on a personal server.

Just enter the Twitter developer section, generate the required 4 keys, and enter them in the functions.php file. That’s it. Your client is ready. Transfer it to your host or personal server, open its address, and start tweeting. The data required to open it is only 3 kilobytes. That means, at the time of writing this post, opening the client costs 15 rials. Considering the use of AJAX to send tweets, the minimum data exchange is possible, and sending tweets can be regarded as free.

I have published the source code for Tweetexy freely and openly on GitHub. If you are interested in developing and helping, that would be great.

Update: With the launch of the third and fourth generation of mobile networks, there is practically no need for this client anymore, but soon I will publish the previous source on GitHub for anyone interested in its operation.

Is there anything in the world worth living for?

Can this plan be changed? Or do we have to go back the entire 90-year path and forget everything? At what level of abstraction can we define the right? At what level of abstraction can we define the soil? What is worth dying for? Is there anything in the world that is worth dying for? On the other hand, is there anything in the world worth living for?

Me and “Me”

Me and my hand. Me and my foot. Me and my brain. Me and my behavior. Me and my personality. Me and the person in whom I live. Me and the person in whom I live and who depends on me. Me and the person whose deficiencies I must make up for. Me and the person whose culture and civilization I must respect. Me and the person for whom I must strive to survive. Me and the person whom I must force to forgo many pleasures.

Keep life simple

Have you missed someone? Give them a call.
Do you want to see someone? Invite them.
Not understood by others? Explain it.
Do you have a question or ambiguity? Ask.
Does something bother you? Speak up.
Do you like something? Express it.
Do you need something? Ask for it.
Do you love someone? Tell them.

Keep life simple.
