GitHub is the home for ALL developers. I spoken to quite a few Syrian developers who had been affected by the trade restrictions and know the positive impact that this change will have.

Should I get a foldable e-bike or a solid hybrid?
Context: I’m never going to turn into a Lycra clad person taking cycling seriously, but live somewhere hilly. Unlikely to use a bike rack. Mostly want to get to places within a 10 mile radius of my house, but more use if I can take bike places
