Sorry to hear you went through those time. I am exactly the same guy as you told "that stuff only happens to other people". I am skinny fat, in 2015 I cut a lot of sugar from my food. But struggling with a proper exercise routine, I like running. But, I can not manage time for that. I am in late 20s so I know this is the time to start. Lets see whether I can change it in 2016 or not. But thanks a lot for sharing it!
I had the same experience with facebook but in a different way, facebook suggested my father and my uncle though I have completely different nick name. No mutual friend what so ever.
I still can not figure out how facebook recommendation system found my dad and uncle!
Yesterday I was reading something like "first to years as parents are hard coz you will have less sleep". For me which already started, as my spouse is going through morning sickness and so on. But 18 years would be too much!
That means a "DevOps" should have all the experience to work in different teams. For example he may start his career as dev then move to some sys admin jobs. Meanwhile after working for couple of years with both Dev and sys admin team he could call himself "DevOps".
I have saved enough to live 1-2 years. But how long it takes to get Blue card? I do have an Uni degree and how much I can expect with my around 2.5 years experience. Some of the Berlin startup contacted with me regarding my expectation, as why asking you.
One of the reason for choosing Germany as some of my friends are living there, though I dont know will it help or not. And after the discussion seems its better not to get asylum.
I am not sure what would be the "best" next step, but I want to leave Syria asap. Planning to move to Iraq first then I will go for the next destination. As far as discussed seems I dont need asylum because I do have some skill set that can be fit into a job market. But will I be able to live there for couple of years? This is getting crazy here and I dont know how long I will have the internet connection and other to work in my remote job(though my employer is very helpful). Seems next couple of days will make my way for at least next couple of years of my life.
