I think the article was a great introduction. This is coming from someone who knows nothing about it but we run similar programs in Atlanta (tasteless plug - www.juniorengineer.us). These things are not well understood by the mainstream. The culture needed to create stellar developers and awesome startupx and products is a conundrum to some and is only recently being analyzed because of the success of accelerators like Y-combinator and Tech stars. People who are unfamiliar with these concepts need points of reference so don't beat them up too bad

- qiqing 14y agoThe problem with the misrepresentation in the article is that unlike other hacker houses, Chez JJ is pretty damn close to spotlessly clean. It's why we pay professionals to do it. And one of our houses was actually 50% female. It's hard to make people envision something else, once the words are out there, but we really aim to make life as frictionless as possible for our guests.
