Realmente hoje em dia tenho muito pouca idea de como as coisas estejam, mas admira-me que a malta toda (que possa fazer apps) não-se tenha despachado prá Aleman

- yulaow 12y agoIf you write something in another language (and it is not a right thing to do in a international board that obviously use English as only language) at least translate it to make others understand.
- rdfi 12y agoRough translation: He doesn't understand why those people don't leave the country and go to England or Germany.
- rcarmo 12y agoHe hasn't been paying attention, then. I've written about what happened in Portugal a while back: http://the.taoofmac.com/space/blog/2012/08/24/2240 http://the.taoofmac.com/space/blog/2012/08/24/2240 (HN thread here: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4437887 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4437887)
- marcocampos 12y agoAnd after 738 days we still haven't learned a thing. A large number of my friends and acquaintances in the "tech business" have already left or are planing to do so...
- phillmv 12y agoI don't really understand this sentiment. I'm clearly targeting fellow portuguese speakers on a low traffic thread. It feels… weird to be policed for my choice of language. Can you explain why it feels rude to you?
- rcarmo 12y agoWell, I'm a fellow portuguese speaker and it felt weird as heck, but then again this is HN, and it's been weeks since I read or wrote anything but English :)
- phillmv 12y agoOra, precisamente porque tirei a oportunidade de desenferrujar a escrita. Vê-lá tu, para mim fazem anos e anos desde que escreva em português :P. Regresso com frequência (tenho que marcar viagem mas em princípio daqui a duas semanas…), mas como emigramos enquanto eu era catraio não tenho network nenhum e é-me difícil ficar acompanhado com as notícias.
- S4M 12y agoIt's rude to all non Portuguese speakers not to conform to the official language here - English. if you want to address the Portuguese community here, just say your comment in English, and add "By the way, I am from Portugal as well, feel free to contact me." or whatever.
- pimentel 12y agoBecause if everyone starts doing that, no one will understand anything in this community.
- GFK_of_xmaspast 12y agoI wish the bad posters here would start writing in another language. Maybe Klingon.
- vlod 12y agoFYI Not everyone found it rude. Copying-pasting into google translate wasn't that hard for me.
- rdfi 12y agoIf it's in the first page (and it got to number 2) it definitely has a lot of traffic. Also, the article that is linked is in English
- regularjack 12y agoSome of us like the sunshine and actually come back to Portugal. Besides, if someone is able to build apps, as you put it, why would you go to Germany or England? You'll be selling them online for the same price and enjoying Portugal's relatively low cost of living.
- phillmv 12y agoMy comment was perhaps more caustic than intended; I go back twice a year and so I only get to see 6-month snapshots of increasing misery, and I didn't want to make anyone feel bad for sticking around. It just comes up a lot whenever I visit.
- wldlyinaccurate 12y agoI think you'd be surprised at how many people in the UK and Germany are (quite seriously) looking over to Lisboa as a place to go and work. The startup bubble that appears to be happening over there combined with the food, weather and culture is very attractive. I visit Lisboa 2-3 times a year and every time I go back, it seems more vibrant, more buzzing with energy.
