Minh Duy Avenue for Teenagers, Young Adults and Parents

If you’re between 14 and 24 or you’re a parent of someone who is in between 14 and 24 then this article is for you. The purpose of this article is to introduce its readers in the USA to lifelong offshoring as a new way of life. The term, lifelong offshoring, was first coined in this article by Tony Minh Duy on September 14, 2008. Tony is also the creator of Minh Duy avenue, which is a road to lifelong offshoring. Lifelong offshoring is the lifetime use of an offshore professional, which is an educated or intellectual worker who lives in another country.

At ownacoder.com you can own an offshore professional for life at a reasonable feeding cost. Feeding cost is what you have to pay in order to hold the ownership title to retain full control of the offshore professional’s work days. At ownacoder.com an offshore professional that you can own or give away as a gift is called a gift professional, or simply giftpro. According to this page, you can give a giftpro away as a gift, put a giftpro up for sale, or rent a giftpro out to other companies. You will hold the ownership title to your giftpro’s work days. You will own the copyright to, and have control of, the work. A giftpro still in school is called an elgie. A Vietnamese elgie is called a velgie.

Teenagers between 14 and 17 will learn how to use a velgie and share that experience with their peers. An American teenager of the 21st century may have an incredible amount of creativity. With help of a velgie who knows how to do web programming, that creativity can be turned into something useful if not profitable. The website ownacoder.com makes it affordable for parents to give their teenagers a chance to own and learn how to make the most out of their own offshore subordinate. Such an experience can become a differentiating factor in applying for college or for jobs.

Young adults between 18 and 24 will learn how to use a team of velgies or giftpros for their purposes and share that experience with their peers. As a web designer or software developer, a velgie or giftpro can work with you directly while you’re awake, and work for you while you sleep. Owning a velgie or giftpro will thus give a college student more time, more power and more opportunity than otherwise.

Parents can select and buy a velgie with skills and experience appropriate to the family, hold the ownership title to the velgie, and ask the velgie to work as a subordinate to their children. One of the best way to teach your children to become a leader, manager is to show them how to lead, manage an offshore yet affordable subordinate.

Tony Minh Duy is now in the process of building up the website Minh Duy avenue in order to help many teenagers, including his own son who is still in eight grade, young adults and their parents in search of lifetime wealth, and happiness, through the use of lifelong offshoring. At the very least, lifelong offshoring will give you, as the motto at ownacoder.com goes… More Time. More Power. More Opportunity.

Another Offshore Management Experience

I’ve just created the Minh Duy Avenue website using the domain name vietnamqa.com to make it easier for me to manage my offshore developers. When I go there, I normally click on the second item on the header menu: Lobby.This is the reception area of the website. Here visitors can contact one of my employees who are willing and able to chat with our customers via Yahoo or Skype. This page and its intranet counterpart help me to see which offshore developer is online and working.

Today I randomly catch a PHP developer. I asked him if he needed help. He said, yes. He could not understand why his PHP page cannot display unicode text, in this case, to show the text in Vietnamese.

I asked him, why are you having this problem when I can see that a line of unicode text is displayed properly. He explained that, that is because that text is hard-coded. The text that is messed up is coming from the database.

“For now”, I said, “you should place unicode strings, e.g. “& # 123 ;” (without spaces), into the database manually instead of using your keyboard to insert localized characters.”

“But it is still an issue,” the developer said after following my instruction.

I checked the display source on my browser again and said: “Someone converted 123 into UTF8 somehow before sending to the browser.”

I asked the developer to find out which line of code is the guilty party in converting data without warning.

As it turned out, the guy switched to a new database last night but he forgot all about it. He placed data into the old database and expected the code with new database to show the right text.

I did not know PHP as much as the developer but I could help by simply being there. Being an ear can be helpful to my developers. In this case, without being proactive in checking up on the developer, he might cost our organization more hours on the fact that he failed to remember working the new instead of the old database.

Minh Duy Avenue – Road to Lifelong Offshoring and Lifetime Wealth

Wealth is what many people want. Whether they realize it or not, what many people want the most is a lifetime partnership, often between two or more individuals, that produces what other people want to pay for. Not just for businesses, a marriage between a man and a woman can be claimed to be such a partnership. Most great companies like Hewlett Packard or Apple Computer started out with such a partnership. HP began with the partnership between Mr. William Hewlett and Mr. David Packard. Apple Computer began the partnership between Mr. Steven Jobs and Mr. Stephen Wozniak.

However, not everyone can run into a great partner. More often than not, the partner you want to have is someone who can do what you cannot alone carry out in order to realize a mutual goal. This is often not an inexpensive proposition and the partnership does not often last a lifetime.

Lifelong offshoring is an alternative. Lifetime wealth is possible for everyone when lifelong offshoring is affordable to anyone. This calls for ownacoder.com.

The website, ownacoder.com, lets you own a coder for life. Coder is a misleading word. In truth, this person could be someone who knows how to work with Flash or Photoshop, or someone who knows about business more than you do. It could be just about any type of people, so long as it is your type. For your protection ownacoder.com will supply you with an appropriate substitute in case your offshore subordinate decided to quit.

At ownacoder.com an offshore subordinate is called a velgie. Originally, velgie means a Vietnamese entry-level gift professional. Over time, the original meaning fades away and the term velgie as a shorthand simly means an offshore subordinate. An ideal lifelong offshoring situation is a relationship that is forged between an American freshman college student and a Vietnamese freshman college student. In such a relationship, the two would develop their careers in such a way that they would advance together or in parallel. The advantage for the velgie is job security whereas the advantage for the velgie holder is creative freedom. A programmer can create nicer software when his work is backed by a velgie who knows how to do Photoshop. A web designer can create greater website when his work is backed by a velgie who knows how to do Flash and ActionScript.

The set of principles necessary to make lifelong offshoring affordable and lifetime wealth possible are called Minh Duy Avenue.

To be sure, Minh Duy Avenue is just a way of life and it is not a religion. You must not give up your basic beliefs in order to share the same path with others whose views are different than yours.

Minh Duy Avenue is a road to lifelong offshoring and lifetime wealth.

The Vision CXV1TL and the Website Danhthieptoi.com

CXV1TL is a Vietnamese abbreviation for, Chất xám Việt – một Triệu lần, which literally means, the Vietnamese gray matter – a million times. The token CXV1TL is used as an in-text tag to mark all articles related to the vision of bringing through the web a million Vietnamese programmers into the American economy by the year 2020 with the slogan, programming services at minimum wage. Yes, as soon as you see the price, for just $9.75 per hour, you can now make software without knowing how to program. Why must you? Through http://vietnamqa.com, an army of low-cost, high-quality programmers are now at your disposal. As soon this becomes part of the American work culture, you cannot afford to avoid the use of programming services at minimum wage.

Ready or not, the Vietnamese are here to stay. As of 2007 Vietnam is part of WTO. This will be both a blessing and a curse for the American economy. It will become a blessing because the cost of doing business will be lowered even compared to what India could offer. It will become a curse because many college students will not want to compete with the Vietnamese for programming jobs. Which college-educated professional in the USA would want to compete in providing programming services at minimum wage? To know the meaing of all this, ask former coal miners.

It took the Vietnamese just a decade and a half to take over the nail care sector. It should take much less time for them to repeat that in another industry, say, web programming. Even India can’t help but to consider using Vietnam as a secondary source of, well, even for them, offshore outsourcing!

What makes the above vision possible is http://danhthieptoi.com, which is not called the home page but the Facade Page. Don’t go there to check it out because the so called home page changes by the day–and for a very good reason: to entertain its members! It would drive you nuts. No, it is not its intention to attract business people there. Instead, you should go to http://maingate.danhthieptoi.com or, for the Vietnamese to remember easily,  http://congchinh.danhthieptoi.com, which is the traditionally constant front page for casual visitors to the site. Alternatively, you could click on the site’s logo, see below, which should swich you between the Main Gate and the Facade Page.

The Vision CXV1TL is less than a year old. It came about only after Vietnam became part of WTO at the start of 2007. Originally the domain name was http://tapsu.com, which in Vietnamese means doing an intern job. In order to get its members ready for post-WTO Vietnam, the site operator got the new domain name, http://danhthieptoi.com, created, in fact, on May 3, 2007. Within few months, according to Alexa.com, it became one of the top 3000 most popular websites in Vietnam.

The lack of professional user interface did not stop a bunch of people from making use of the site. The web address, http://members.danhthieptoi.com, gives you an idea of how many new members join the site each day. You could tell the seriousness of this site by looking at the full names and real ages on the list. The Tỉnh-Thành let you know the current province and the Huyện-Quận column let you know the current district where the member resides. Click on the name of a province or district and see the list of newest members for that area.
