Mission Statement

Most developers in industrial countries take it for granted to have state of the art development computers, always fast internet and reliable electricity.

I too, never spend any thought in this until I got a lot of Twitter followers from Africa and other developing countries. I learned that there is a passionate developer community who doesn't have our infrastructure but nevertheless wants for be successful in IT.

Which means a lot of them code on their smartphones because they can't afford a laptop, or often Laptops that are in catastrophe conditions with too little memory and old CPUs making working slow and often impossible if new developer tools don't run on 32bit systems or need at least 8GB of RAM. Others work with keyboards that miss important working keys so that they have to copy and paste them or enter them cumbersome with the mouse. Others work with a faulty monitor which makes reading difficult or with old batteries in their laptop limiting their work time to the parts of the day where electricity is available.
