Ask HN: Programmers and Technologists in Scotland
Over the last few years, I have appreciated reading about Scottish contributions to the world. Napier. Sir Walter Scott. John Muir. With that said, I haven't read about many technologists from Scotland, and have struggled to find a community thereof.
I was wondering if anyone in Scotland would be interested in a Hackers of NY-esque [1] short-form interview series to codify examples of Scottish programmers and technologists. I sure think having such a repository would be inspirational to young people; this same principle could be applied to other locations, too.
If you would be interested in reading or participating please share below!
