Gordon Brown Loves Developers. It’s Official

It appears that Mr Gordon Brown our beloved prime minister is proposing that we reinflate the UK economy by a massive digital infrastructure programme. Mr Brown has clearly been reading recent Tech Splurge posts and is quite rightly basing his economic policies on my idle technology musings. With this blog as his guiding light we can expect the recession to be a mere blip.

While Mr Brown is in the technology investment zone here’s a five point tech investment plan that can only assist the UK ailing economy.

1. Two monitors for all programmers and designers.


2. Comfy chairs and foot stools for anyone who knows what a complier is.


3. Free StarBucks/Café Nero coffee for anyone even obliquely involved in software development.


4. Dry cleaning service for anyone that can write a bit of HTML


5. Free taxis service for anyone who can tell the difference between a computer and a microwave.

With this forward thinking policy I believe that the UK will be at the forefront of technological innovation and the five point plan is in now way motivated by greed, self-interest and a desperate attempt to get something for nothing.
