I love what the Recurse Center stands for, and I'm wondering if anyone else has found similar communities / places with similar values? Online or in-person.
South Park Commons is kind of like RC, but with more of a startup focus.<p>Ran something Recurse-y back in the day (recesslabs.com), but put it in the freezer after a few cohorts.<p>There was a german version for awhile (Hackership), but they shut down too.<p>RC is very cool, but to my knowledge there are not a ton of current variants!<p>Thinking of a new project, Zach? :P
When I was at RC, a name that came up often was the School for Poetic Computation. I don't know too much about it, but have generally heard good things.

For those who haven't heard of the Recurse Center like myself: <a href="https://www.recurse.com/" rel="nofollow">https://www.recurse.com/</a><p>Seems like a really interesting community. I don't mean to hijack the thread, but I'd also be curious to hear about peoples experiences with the Recurse Center itself, if anyone has any.<p>What were the benefits you experienced, what did it do well, what could be improved, etc.
