Why community matters, even for developers with Ricky Ng-Adam and Frederic Bazin, Co-founders of Coderbunker

What is your first impression when you think of a co-working space? Ricky Adam and Frederic Bazin envisioned it to be an open community of developers in a shared physical space focused on creating successful engineering team. It may sound ironic but the process of building software would necessitate social activities, and this requires a wide range of talented people. Coderbunker is right now having huge momentum and getting other non-developers into this community as well. The question is: could this business model be happening in other industries and become a game changer in the future of work? Show notes: [2:48] How does Coderbunker define community?
