Sorry man, just trust us, Argentina is ahead of Chile (and the rest of Latin America) when it comes to skills in technology/programming. If you want proof, take a look at some of the events being run in Argentina. Check out the Ruby community. Then compare and contrast with the same in Chile. They're miles ahead here.

"Sorry man, just trust us" ? good job paisano, they will totally believe you.

Undoubtly there are good "hackers" in Argentina, like in every country with good education but high levels of poverty (Greece, Ukranie, Russia, etc.). Maybe the reason is that becoming a hacker is basically free, You only need internet and free time.

About the proof, go check any important security conference, I'll guarantee you that you will find one or more Argentinian teams there, wondering why everything is better and cheaper outside their country, except of course that disgusting thing foreigners call "food" :)
