LA is one of the growing technical hubs of the States. That’s why, it is easier to find talent pool in most conventional to emerging technologies here. Most importantly, because the IT field here is getting saturated and competitive, most app developers in Los Angeles offer economic hourly rates. To find a development team in LA, start with Clutch. Then shortlist companies on the basis of their experience, minimum budget value, customer satisfaction review and the main business domains they have worked in. Then interview them directly, decide payment structures and initiate your app project.

Another reason why there are so many app developers in La is because of the large number of anarchists who reside there.

I can understand if readers don't see the connection, but there is one!

I asked AI this question: "is there a connection between app developers and anarchists?"

Here is the reply:

Yes, there is a notable connection between anarchism and app development. Anarchist principles, particularly regarding decentralization and self-organization, can align with the development and use of certain types of software and applications, especially those designed for nonviolent resistance or freedom of expression.
Here's a closer look at the connection:

    Decentralized Software:
    Anarchist thought often favors decentralized systems, and this principle translates to software development. For example, decentralized communication apps like Signal, which prioritize user privacy and security over centralized control, have found support within anarchist circles.

Nonviolent Resistance:
Technology can be used as a tool for nonviolent struggle, and anarchists often advocate for this approach. Software that facilitates communication, organization, and information sharing, particularly in the context of social movements or resistance, can be seen as aligning with anarchist goals.
Free Software and Open Source:
The open-source movement, which champions the free sharing and modification of software code, is deeply aligned with anarchist values. Open-source software allows for greater transparency, community involvement, and the ability to adapt technology to individual needs.
Self-Organization and Community:
Anarchist principles often emphasize self-organization and community-driven approaches to problem-solving. This aligns with the principles of agile development methodologies, where teams are empowered to self-organize and make decisions about their work.
Examples of Anarchist-Influenced Technology:
Some notable examples of anarchist-influenced technology include:

    Signal: This encrypted messaging app, championed by founder Moxie Marlinspike, prioritizes user privacy and decentralization.

Mozilla Firefox: This web browser, known for its privacy-focused features and commitment to open-source development, has gained support from anarchists.
Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies: These decentralized payment systems, while not exclusively anarchist, offer the potential for financial autonomy and resistance to centralized financial institutions.

It's important to note that while there is a connection, it's not necessarily a one-to-one relationship. Many app developers and technology enthusiasts may be influenced by anarchist ideas without explicitly identifying as anarchists. Additionally, some technologies, like those related to surveillance or data collection, may be used in ways that contradict anarchist principles.
