Great read. Thank you Alex. There was a very interesting comment in the footnotes: *"Betahouse back then was very different to what has become the norm for co-working spaces today: non collaborative desk filling environments*". I've heard this from someone before and it confused me. Then again it's impossible for me to get back to first impressions.
