The post isn't saying there is no tech scene but can we even compare what it is at the moment to how it is in america. A good example is http://codelaborate.or

The post isn't saying there is no tech scene but can we even compare what it is at the moment to how it is in america.
A good example is http://codelaborate.org/ http://codelaborate.org/ . They went to the same uni(Oxford), same course, both doing programming on the side & yet didn't know each other till this summer in London.
All our efforts before were fragmented, resulting in for example, three hackathons in the same weekend.
Sure great things are happening in individual places but imagine the exponential growth when it's less silo'ed & everyone is working together towards a bigger goal.
- tomp 12y agoI just checked out codelaborate.org. What a shitty website! The design is nice, but the font is almost impossible to read. I assume it's because I'm on Windows (OS X usually renders fonts better than Windows), but it's a really good way to quickly alienate half of your target audience...
- tosinaf 12y agoGlad you shared your concerns but your comment could have been written much nicer & still achieved the same effect.
- tomp 12y agoYeah, I know, but I often don't do it, on purpose. It's an easy way to filter people, those who prefer the form from those who prefer the content.
- jennyhbren 12y agoThanks for the feedback. We're aware of an issue in certain browsers on some versions of Windows (boo hiss Windows font rendering) and will fix it as soon as we get a chance - though don't fear, the issue isn't actually affecting half of our audience! (didn't quite anticipate today's surge in popularity!)
