Actually I think that a locality and a country are quite different. If instead the comment was &quot;these both come out of Brasilia&quot; then there&#x27;s perhaps some sense - one might think that perhaps there is some local culture that&#x27;s aiding this sort of development or that there might be a local initiative that&#x27;s helping to create a tech hub of sorts [but it could of course just be serendipity]. But just having a country in common - suppose one main developer is in a favela using a XO laptop and another is in a high class penthouse apartment, what&#x27;s the link then, why does them being in the same country mean anything, they might not even talk the same language or have the same ethnicity.<p>Some interesting thoughts, thanks to all for tolerating my ponderings.
