El Otro Lado

Community · Reserved Technologies

A community notebook for young people building technology from the side no one is watching.

FOUNDER'S LETTER

This is how it starts.

This community is built from Estado de México, with the zip codes the tech ecosystem pretends don't exist in mind. Iztapalapa, Villa El Salvador, Cidade de Deus, whatever block is yours.

No gurus, no investors, no glass-office photos. Just people learning and building in parallel, out in the open. If you come to add, you're already home.
