TIL: the startup world loves sunny beach locations.
Just posted an article about the blue house doing a similar thing in Morocco (or at least providing a framework for startups to do so in tropical locations): https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9347228
Sensationalist title but the concept is solid - I think these sort of "let's go to the beach and hack/launch/brainstorm like mad people" trips are the new version of geeks gathering in basements for the same end-result.
...Now that I think about it, who wants to see geeks with neck-beards and sun-tans on the beach!? *shudders
"I work online" is my go-to, it gets around the 'Im an entrepreneur aka out of work bum' trip wire that even I look out for, and leads well into a description of my service biz.
