I agree with Page 1 alot. You can teach a kid to count in 1s and 0s, but that doesn't necessarily follow that you can teach him to code in machine language. Even the pros' have to use tools like hex representation to make machine language programming easier.

With everything said about the 'economies of scale' of launching startups in Silicon Valley, would do you think of startups in English-speaking developing countries? What are your thoughts on monetization(70%+ don't have bank accounts), market size(most use dumb phones) and relevance(i.e. Another whatsapp/facebook/airbnb? what for?)?
