Cuba: Developing Hackers

Categories: Latin America, Cuba, International Relations, Technology

André Deak [1] is a Brazilian blogger who has recently visited Cuba, and in ‘Cuban Hackers [2]‘ [PT] he tells about the ‘Universidad de las Ciencias Informáticas [3]‘ (Informatic Sciences University), where local developers are learning to create code in one of the most precarious technological environments, caused by the US embargo. Deak concludes that, like Cuban mechanics who learned to keep old cars riding, local developers might become very specialized hackers in the future.
