> For some reason Bangalore is crawling with people who first want to form a community and then start learning/working/whatever. These efforts almost invariably peter out uselessly. First do the work. Then if you feel like "communing" talk to others who are also working hard.
It's just human nature to want to sit around and chat rather than actually spend hours of your time on hard work which may or may not pan out into something useful.
It's sad that we have such a terrible education system. It's an insult to injury that the "BigCo" consistently fuel these learning groups as a marketing stunt.
I can't begin to describe the sheer amount of bright peers that think using the GCP/Amazon web interface is equivalent to real programming.
