Palo Alto Hacker House - Now Seeking Replacements
As a YC co-founder, I was interested in the Hacker House because other people shared an interest in start-ups, programming, design, and technology. I personally had a great experience in the house--the place was empty during the day, so it wasn't too distracting. I would certainly recommend living here if you're trying to live lean, we'd love to keep the Hacker House going.
- jmtame 17y agohad a fun time living in the hacker house this summer, the house was pretty quiet during the day since most people worked at funded start-ups with offices. that allowed us to concentrate during the day, and throughout much of the night.
- kiba 17y agoIs there a site dedicated to hacker house like hackerspaces.org for hacker space? Unrelated ideas: A steampunk style home that double as a lab and a shop for cool electronics projects, as well as a place to conduct research into cybernetic technologies. Buy a big hunking commercial place that is run down, etc, and slowly transform it into something cool. Probably requires the capitals of several hackers if one is not a millionaire.
- Ademan 17y agoWow, if I had a job, and wasn't relatively firmly tied to the east bay I'd totally go for that place... I'd probably be the least productive hacker there by a long shot, but if being in a house full of productive coders can't motivate me I might as well off myself haha.
