It's important to us that the community understands who we are and why we are doing what we do.

@d0rk0fy0rk Not just a rebrand – about a year ago, the role of operating the building changed from The Fortress Initiative to a YMCA-established board called Fortress of York. The goal was to have a more neighborhood-focused group lead. Few understood the difference and we dropped the name.

I mean there are non-redistributive ways to reduce wealth inequality, the primary way is to decentralize wealth production through a little something we call #Entrepreneurship

Children of all backgrounds!

This! We need to teach our children how to make jobs, not just take jobs. Our educational system is so last century.

A senior engineer got drunk and posted career lessons on Reddit. One of the most honest and insightful pieces on engineering.

My favorite quotes:

1/5:
“Good code can be understood by a junior eng. Great code can be understood by a CS freshman. Best code is no code.”

All over the world, including Baltimore, Philly, & Pitt.

Still working on getting enough Slack-using Susquehanna Valley founders together for our own version, but for now our neighbors’ networks will have to do!

@lolitataub Here is a list of 400+ Slack Communities for founders: https://t.co/9KQ5gkSMj4

Hope this is useful!

[TechRev York @TechRevYork]

Thanks for the feature, @fox43!

We believe the most effective way of impacting the entire community is by finding solutions that address the most underserved, be they jobseekers or local small companies.

@d0rk0fy0rk Anyway, we're more than happy to talk about it with you and anyone else in person, via DMs/email/etc, or out in the open like this. The vision will never be realized without radical transparency and community action. Thanks for feeling strongly enough to type up this thread!

[TechRev York @TechRevYork]

We understand that trust has been eroded over time by big pronouncements with no action. The entire point TechRev York existing is to create a meaningful organizational structure that works long-term to build trust and effect change in our community.
