Universities are a primary incumbent for any kind of skill sourcing! https://www.universitiesuk.ac.uk/

Another possible speculative angle. They will have a broad interest in sourcing technical talent, not just programmers but also mathematicians.

London-based experts in this aspect of things include Canonical.

It's a bit of a strange angle but at the level of a brainstorm we could look at how publishers source technical talent. They are probably not the biggest employer of programmers out there, but it would be a non-trivial number.

"The aim of the Industrial Strategy is to boost productivity by backing businesses to create good jobs and increase the earning power of people throughout the UK with investment in skills, industries and infrastructure."

I have a couple of rather remote links to people who work at IBM, I wonder how they go about sourcing talent there.

http://contentmine.org/ "We offer a broad range of text mining services for small, medium size and large projects. Our mission is to give researchers an easy-to-use open source text mining code allowing them to find, download, analyse and extract knowledge from academic papers."

The main Question.

How deep does it go, I wonder?

This underlining should be longer!

But it also seems to be a useful method when the phenomena is observable, but its workings are not understood. The point is that simulation gives hypotheses about what's going on inside a black box, I suppose.

How should we respond to this criticism, considering the ubiquity of writing these days?

Maybe this needs a short section intro, since, actually, the topic under discussion here is Chapter Summaries, not Motivation.

This could be a good place to add links to interesting websites @daytripper

I'm interested in understanding how hypothes.is handles changing content. I made a comment on an earlier version of this page, and the text I highlighted no longer exists. But what happens if the text only moves around? ... OK, here's the technical description: https://hypothes.is/blog/fuzzy-anchoring/

Interesting. I might like to be able to see a pool of "orphaned" annotations, like the one I made before, which don't reattach anywhere. But current behavior is certainly OK for now!

It's worth pointing out the ways in which the handbook is not perfect. I've added some discussion about that in https://github.com/Peeragogy/Peeragogy.github.io/issues/1
