Getting started with Flutter

from Yazin Alirhayim [alt+shift+b] in technology

over a year ago
It used to be that you needed to know Kotlin and Swift to develop apps for both Android and iOS, but those days are long gone. Even the fundamental reasons for doing so have changed — some sort of compromise between performance and speed to deployment. React Native apps were...

The best bank in Bahrain … is Meem

from Yazin Alirhayim [alt+shift+b] in technology

over a year ago
Yes, that’s right. The best bank in Bahrain is … Meem. This nomination will be especially shocking to those of you that read my last post that ripped the Meem app to shreds. Criteria for ‘best bank’ My criteria for “best bank” isn’t the best user experience or customer support....

Tracking where a WhatsApp user came from

from Yazin Alirhayim [alt+shift+b] in technology

over a year ago
At Amal, we have an AI chat bot that works over WhatsApp — allowing our customers to speak to their bank account, asking questions like “What’s my balance” and “How much have I spent on Uber’s this month?”. A problem we faced really early on when connecting to WhatsApp was that...

Braindump

from Yazin Alirhayim [alt+shift+b] in technology

over a year ago
Been having a hard time lately focusing. It’s like whenever I start doing anything of any significance I get derailed, and fall into this spiral of thought where I reconsider whether what I’m about to do matters, why it would, and whether I could be doing something else that...

The Trouble With Optionality

from Yazin Alirhayim [alt+shift+b] in technology

over a year ago
Optionality’s one of those things you don’t really think about. People don’t generally wake up one morning thinking “Why, it appears I’ve spent the past several decades of my life optimizing for optionality. Perhaps I should figure out why?”. Most don’t even recognize the term –...

Part 2: Will greater access to capital spark Bahrain’s economy?

from Yazin Alirhayim [alt+shift+b] in technology

over a year ago
👉 If you haven’t read Part 1, do that first. In the last post, I discussed the question of access to capital and why’s important to verify that we do in fact have a problem before we attempt to “solve” it. Now, we’re going to talk about the method for measuring the extent of...

The Meem app: it sucks

from Yazin Alirhayim [alt+shift+b] in technology

over a year ago
If you’re a “digital only” bank like Meem, the app your customers use is all they see: it’s like a virtual 🏦 branch. That’s fitting, because you know what my impression of meem is as a user? When I open up their app, it feels like walking into a crowded butcher shop, with...

Serializing and deserializing a Cookie Jar

from Yazin Alirhayim [alt+shift+b] in technology

over a year ago
I was recently working on a way to serialize and deserialize a Faraday connection that uses HTTP::CookieJar to manage persistent cookies across requests. I needed to do this because I wanted a way to “freeze” an HTTP connection instance, and later “thaw” it to resume the...

from Yazin Alirhayim [alt+shift+b] in technology

over a year ago
Today, I was on a panel discussing lending and access to capital (not a wooden panel, mind you — but a panel of speakers. Now that I think about it, we may have been sitting on wooden panel flooring). At any rate, the discussion covered alot of ground, all as part of the larger...

How do you know that an API does what it says it does?

from Yazin Alirhayim [alt+shift+b] in technology

over a year ago
Having been in fintech for a while, I’ve noticed something in common between the many new startups that come and go. They all require access to personal information. A specific example that comes to mind is the Plaid-like solution we developed while working on amal. We’d ask...

When Google killed Google Reader, the bloggosphere took a severe hit and the content quality went down because there weren't enough readers to justify the effort it takes to maintain a high quality blog.

What's left is a decaying wasteland of blogs, most abandoned, a lot are now SEO spam, and 99% are not worth reading. BoredReading is a way to read the remaining great blogs that survived the ice age.

To add your favorite blog, please suggest it here! I get emails every day which helps me maintain a high quality selection of blogs!
