Last night, after a couple of hours delayed flight, I landed into Istanbul for a two week stay related with crypto.
I didn't have too much time to do anything but reaching the hotel and having some food. Today I started joining most of the people I've been remotely working with during the past two years.
As much as I love the great opportunities crypto brings for remote workers. Having a chance to meet personally for a couple of days, work physically together and doing some outdoors city activities makes a huge improvement to the organization.
We decided to meet i Turkey as there are a few developers from Iran in the group and they have huge problems trying to travel to western world. As nice as it is getting together, you cannot avoid thinking about how different live can be depending on where you live. I am glad we managed to arrange the meeting in a place where they could join.
