Comment on Come to London

Comments

Several years ago I treated Lokku as the coolest place to work in London according to my criterias. It was the only one map-obsessed, small, open-source friendly, no-bullshit startup in a nice location. Unfortunately I was a Java guy and they were looking for Perl people.

I believe you cannot underestimate the impact it makes on London geo scene. Without Lokku, London will be a rather dull place from geospatial perspective.

If I were in the Uni now (I graduated in Hungary), I would definitely apply.

The language shouldn't matter for a good developer. From their web page: "Many of our past interns have been new to Perl."

I wasn't an intern and I wanted to go towards Java/Hadoop. Which was not required at Lokku at that time.
