Whatever this is, you want it to create a "culture of intent" that clearly demonstrates to its users that the goal is community interaction, cooperation, and friendly optimism.
We need someplace a little more personal and under-the-radar where we can enter the software development scene, such as it is, so that we can share our early education with smart people near to us, so we can combine the best elements of "hometown familiarity" with global, futuristic scope and stage.
The division if labor has brought us here to this place on YC together- it's simply in our interest to find find each other near where we sit- at home. It makes sense to combine intellects and personalities to help guide the way to the many big-time plans and creations.
I want a hometown launching pad for getting to San Francisco Bay, custom built to show me the local people reading this that want the same challenging but totally do-able map to creating world-wide success in the technology world.
I'm looking at this world, and it's in need of an on-ramp to all the talent percolating in every small town on the map. Imagine the state of science today, the internet being one lense of which, where every truly interested person within 1000 miles of you were able to go to the same places to feed their computing human culture- face to face, instead of looking at everyone in the internet world as a collection of digital sentences, with the 3/5 conveyance of intent delivered, which is the average ability of a written sentence to say exactly what was intended. The other 2/5 is body language and eye contact.
We should make real efforts to find each other and create from our current homes, until we have a stable of nailed-down implementations we can confidently present to the pro's.We have the neighbors nearby that want to work together, with smart, cool, fun, and dedicated people. We each try our best to be that way ourselves.
I see so many of you here- I wish I could meet you and talk about these amazing, exciting advances in our technology and abilies to change the world in incredibly powerful ways. I think we should make a network that exists for this purpose.
I want to work with you people. We all want the help from our friends, so we should put these friends of common interest together. Plus, there's beer, social commentary, new information, and connection to the bigger world. That would be cool.
Would you agree?
