Egyptian Management Aka Egypt Developers forums
Mohamed Meshref's Blog - Fri, 2007-09-21 21:41 By Mohamed Meshref
As we all know, Egypt doesn’t lack people with perfect skills in all fields (individual contributors), but what we really lack is good management, because our management sucks.
In this post I’ll talk about a typical manager for an Egyptian software development forums, this manager will show you how most of managers in Egypt think, I’ll come at the end and provide you with a list of Egyptian managers’ behaviors.
Any way in these forums there was a thread going about Java vs. Net, and this manager came and put a very strange comment about that Java is the future and .Net is the past (isn’t this a joke?) and stuff like this which doesn’t make sense for any child who know how to define a variable, so we began to comment on his comments too much.

الثانوية العامة , عنق الزجاجة التى مررنا بها واحدا تلو الاخر , تأتي من جديد بمآسيها, مخرجة لسانها للجميع , معلنة انها لن تتغير و ستبقى السراب الذي تدفع لاجله اموالا طائلة متمثلة في الدروس الخصوصية لتغنى في النهاية اغنية ماسك الهوا بإيديا بدلا من ناجح يرفع ايده

Poll #2: How many people do you think will accept to marry a rapped girl?
Mohamed Meshref's Blog - Sun, 2007-07-08 21:54 By Mohamed Meshref
In continue for the previous post, and taking this post as a reference, this time the question is simple:
We all know that when a girl is rapped that she's a victim, we all agree on this and I am sure than about 80%-90% of the population actually agree on this, but the question, how many people do you think will accept the following: read more »

Poll #4: How do you think about us Egyptian as whole?
Mohamed Meshref's Blog - Sat, 2007-07-07 21:50 By Mohamed Meshref
So finally, now regardless of "we've kind hearts" and we "live in peace", and issues like that, I am talking professionally, what do you think about our value as "Egyptians" (only those who live inside Egypt) for the man kind?
And please give reasons for your opinion.
N.B: I don't hate being Egyptian, but I see a HUGE amount of negative issues more than any other nation in the history (as a nation which was one day the most advanced one on the planet)

Poll #3: How many Egyptian do you think will take any professional criticism personally?
Mohamed Meshref's Blog - Sat, 2007-07-07 21:47 By Mohamed Meshref
Again, in continue for the last post, the final question:
If you went to your college, and told any professor that his way of teaching is not good and that you can't understand anything, what do you expect that he'll do?
Again, in continue for the last post, the final question:
If you went to your college, and told any professor that his way of teaching is not good and that you can't understand anything, what do you expect that he'll do?
- Give you bad grades in his subject (or even make you fail in his subject)?
- Tell you that you're rude and then you'll probably find that you've lost one year in the college (or may even lose the whole college).
- Tell you "Thanks for letting me know, you're a honest person"?
Knowing the fact that you told him this sentence exactly: read more »
Poll #1: What do you think about Egyptian youth in colleges?
Mohamed Meshref's Blog - Sat, 2007-07-07 21:33 By Mohamed Meshref
A debate has been going on lately about the current generations and whether they are good or they don't even deserve to get the free education they are getting, in my opinion, 85%-90% of the students in those college don't even deserve to be there for the following reasons:
A- Students in colleges like Arts, Law, Commerce, etc. read more »

بيان رابطة أهل السنة في إيران
Mohamed Meshref's Blog - Mon, 2007-07-02 20:56 By Mohamed Meshref
بيان رابطة أهل السنة في إيران بيان هايد بارك –لندن- 99/4/11
إيران دولة طائفية منافقة –غير إسلامية-لكنها تتاجر باسم الإسلام بدليل:
1-لا يوجد في الحكم الإيراني واحد من مسلمي السنة ، لا وزير و لا سفير و لا محافظ و لا مدير بلدية ولا مدير دائرة و لا موظف كبير في إيران كلها مع أن ثلث سكان إيران من أهل السنة وهم من الأكراد و البلوش و التركمان وبعض الفرس وبعض العرب،إذن فهو حكم طائفي بغيض إلى العظم خلافا لما تعلن كذبا read more »

How do we "Egyptians" think
Mohamed Meshref's Blog - Mon, 2007-06-18 01:05 By Mohamed Meshref
So once again to a new article about stuff which are wrong in our culture, in Egypt we can’t differentiate between someone who criticize you as “person” or criticize your knowledge, i.e. as “professional”
If you referred back to the previous post, you’ll see that I was criticizing some professor’s “professional way of teaching” then his son came and told me that I am rude and my parents didn’t taught me manners well!!!

Apple: What's the deal?!
Mohamed Meshref's Blog - Mon, 2007-06-11 07:09 By Mohamed Meshref
Few months ago I saw this video from that journalist in New York Times, and I just ignore it because it was unprofessional and very idiotic.
But when I see that Apple used the exact same points in that video in a public conference, this was really a surprise for me on how Apple is doing marketing as if they don’t have any real thing to do marketing for!!! (Especially after they was about to die before)
To summarize what they are talking about, they mentioned these points:
1. New Vista Search: in Mac OS it’s on the top and in Vista in the lower menu.
2. The Vista Calendar: that Mac OS has the same calendar.
3. The photo organizer. read more »

Macworld Boston 1997-The Microsoft Deal
Mohamed Meshref's Blog - Thu, 2007-05-10 04:11 By Mohamed Meshref
It's really weird how years can change people really much, in 1997 Microsoft Saved Apple's ass by buying $150 millions worth of shares (non-voting shares and MS agreed not to sell them for at least 3 years) in Apple to save its ass and save Steve from bankruptcy, and at that time Steve Jobs was very kind, and he said Microsoft is our friends, our partners, bla bla bla.
And after 10 years and when he came back by the help of Microsoft, he doesn't leave any moment without making fun of Microsoft and Windows!!

Free Software, How?!
Mohamed Meshref's Blog - Thu, 2007-05-03 03:44 By Mohamed Meshref
It has been long time since I posted anything which has a lot of debate in the background, any way today I'll talk about the concept of Free Software (I am not talking about Open Source, the title is really obvious, it's about FREE SOFTWARE).
So now here you are what I am thinking, every single profession in the whole world is for money, Doctors earn money from sick people, mechanical engineers earn money from people who owns any mechanical equipments, plumbers earn money from people who need plumping, even Hookers gain money from people seeking pleasure, so as you see every freaken profession on the planet earn money from servicing people who need this profession's services, so why the hell software must be different?!!!
