Just a week ago, in search of frontend developers went to the Hilton Hotel, on a forum of graphic designers. Unfortunately, quest failed. But I must admit I was not as active as it should be.

Mostly they discussed topics with regards to branding, industrial design. Web-design remained untouched. Which indirectly confirms my thoughts about that in our country this area is lagging most, and it is understandable - after all frontend requires more discipline, self-studying, and in general - this thing is not for everyone.

From appearances, I realized that we of course have the talented people, but the vast majority of people who wish to pursue the case, absolutely have no understanding of the process of "growing up" works. And they don't have basics of motivation, but it is the fault of the business environment in which they live, and limitation to leave it. Actually not in the "business environment", but in monopoly in leading and profitable areas. From that environment, there is no need to give birth to some original solutions to attract attention. A competitor can always be closed with help of familiar official, completely legal.

By the way that's why I asked one of the speakers, Mirza Aliyev (MİRZƏ ƏLİYEV Art Director McCann), about foreign practice,  wanted to bring to the people sitting in the audience the idea that the world is much wider than the city or even the country in which they live. I hope that thought find a striker :).

With regards to the evening: there was no particular topic, so perhaps there was no "depth". But the people were nice, and my company was interesting.
