Last Few weeks was amazing, Met new Start-up IT guys with Great exciting new ideas.
I experiment a lot. I do all sorts of things to find out what works and what doesn’t work. And due to that I always make different mistakes.At the end I just look at the Final Product and say, I have learned a lesson.
Today Reinvent Maldives is a growing company, I am faced with making tough calls & decisions. Meet New People. Apply New systems, find new way of doing things, standards and policies. Not really to dictate everyone, But to make sure we follow the right direction.
Everything is not about money, I believe PR is very important for more socialized type of E-commerce business like us.
Here in Maldives, most businesses consider everyone else to be there competitors. But I don’t think that’s how it works specially in the IT industry.Collaboration and sharing knowledge is very important for us to develop great products.
Since we don’t have any way to get finance for SMB & Start-ups in Maldives.We cannot keep everything in our mind and think like Super Stars.
I think Super starts are those who share knowledge and corporate to help those valuable ideas that will come to reality, Rather than demanding for a Higher pay .
@reallynattu says ( Evaluating them-self like NETGEO Photographers )
We do understand the Value of our work. But before Demanding we all need to learn and work together, to build a good portfolio and prove we deserve what we demand.
Let us all Work together and develop a Successful IT industry in Maldives. Forget about the Politics, and Stop blaming each other, let competition remain.
Still work together and share our ideas.
Cause we all can see it Happening at the end, We are the Future

being part of the community means bringing something to the table and sharing it without expecting anything in return. the main point, though, is to see oneself in an ecosystem that benefits from exchanging knowledge/ideas. far too many developers/entrepreneur are afraid that their project will get swiped if they share their idea/code. it is more likely that everyone else is already too busy. i would also like to think that by being open, others are more likely to collaborate with you, or bounce ideas off you, or learn from your code.
@bassam, good article.

Gr8 article!
This is quite interesting.
We all know how this industry is evolving in a general sense. But still when it is time to really dig deep and find out more of what is happening, no one have any clue.
And why is that?
Because truly, we are the ones who have to start this process CORRECTLY. And I really mean this. We know certain things are not positioned as it has to be. And this creates chaos. We all have to suffer later if you all do not embrace the way this have to be.
There is this hidden code that help all. There is no point in me telling exactly what the code is or codes are. Those who figure it out will prosper.
I’ll do my best to help you guys out.
Cheers
@ziyad: Is this some kind of a game or an adventure quest your talking about.? your comment reminds me of ” One Piece” its an anime I watch, in that anime a little boy name Luffy sets out on a journey to find One Piece, the legendary treasure of the King of the Pirates.
