Bengaluru, the technology hub of India, is known for its tech-savvy residents. In a recent amusing incident, a woman in Bengaluru turned to an unusual place to seek help with a coding issue – a dating app.

27-year old Vandana, a programmer living in Bengaluru, created a profile on Tinder looking for someone who could help fix a coding bug she had been stuck on. In her bio, Vandana explained that she had an issue checking out a file from Perforce using Python. The code worked on Windows and Linux but not on Mac.

This is not the first time Bengaluru residents have made news for their affinity towards technology. The city, nicknamed India’s Silicon Valley, is known for its large IT industry and concentration of technology professionals.

Such examples showcase how deeply engrained technology is in the daily lives of Bengaluru inhabitants. From tech-savvy auto drivers to programmers crowdsourcing help on dating apps, the city residents continue to find innovative ways to leverage technology.
