To answer your question without inciting the classic NYC vs. San Fran debate: Yes, there is enough tech talent in NYC. There's a stable and rapidly growing tech scene here with startups across various disciplines, and finding engineering ta

But I bet many novice developers have been exposed to Ruby and Python (and SVN) because they shipped with OS X. Let's let newcomers use git without a custom install, and maybe it will lead to more widespread adoption. You don't need the lat
