I'm moving to NYC February 1st with forty bucks and ruby (not rails) know-how. I'm 21 and ready to start sculpting my life with my own hands so i figured I'd just go. Does anybody know if there are hackerspaces that are looking for industrious people like me? As long as i can code for a few hours a day i could help cook and clean and stuff and once i get a job i could contribute back to the space with money. I know this isn't the best place to ask but it's on topic and i don't really know where else to ask and find out. This was a cool article, i had no idea how much history there is behind these groups and its especially encouraging knowing that with enough willpower, these groups can be self sufficient and autonomous.
