I do this too... While I cringe internally. But usually I'm saying it to people that have never even heard of DuckDuckGo...

Where exactly is "here" though? Twitter is global remember? Anyone in the world, including Zambia where I am could have interacted with Tay. That's a very different proposition to "China".

Well I'm disappointed to not see a bunch more people promoting their local tech hubs, dev communities and such if they have them.
Zambia has the people over at -> http://bongohive.co.zm and a few more that aren't involved with that hub.
I know I have many "dark matter" programmers as friends. A lot of Africa in my experience as tribaal pointed out has a great many hurdles that need to be overcome in order to be a programmer. For example I have to pay the same price he does for internet access, US$60 and it's only a 512k line. Worse, service has been so bad lately I'm lucky to have more than an hour of stable uptime at a time at an average of 10kb/s.
