نصيحتي المخلصة لأي حد بيخلص جامعة او شاب/شابه متخرجين جداد هي السفر. مش عشان الظروف الاقتصاديه ولا ان الحياه احسن، لكن عشان السفر هيوريك ان الدنيا اوسع من البالونه اللي اتربيت فيها، هتبطل تخاف من الاختلاف، هتتغير من جوا بجد، بشكل صعب اوي يحصل و انت هنا. سافر و ارجع بعد كده لو تحب.

My phone is completely blocked 🚫 in Egypt 😔 I can’t even turn on roaming. Didn’t they say that the tax only applies on IMEIs that connect with local sim?.

I promise you, if you are a serious systems engineer, you’ll regret skimping on that decision.

Think long and hard about data formats, access patterns, space cost vs. compute impact (zero-copy vs. compact encoding). Even if you eventually decide on a box-standard codec (jsonp, protobuf, thrift, etc.) you must be deliberate and comprehensive in your analysis.

Data serialisation for network/storage is one of those areas that you should never under estimate. You make a hasty design decision early in the project and you’ll pay almost indefinitely if you cut corners. It’s the number one area you shouldn’t take shortcuts in.

Any technical meet-ups happening in Cairo during August that’s worth checking?.

Very happy with the mk42 helmet I just finished. 3D printed + endless sanding, filling, and spray painting. Enjoy!
