Hey all! Do folks have any interest in meeting up to talk tech things? My husband and I are about to move to Hapeville so would love to make some connections!
I’ve got a strange background in both professional agile coaching as well as programming and have tried my hand at various kinds of entrepreneurship and failed. I think it’s because I’m meant to be an open source developer for things like the IndieWeb but I’m not sure. :-)
Oh hey, Atlanta’s biggest makerspace is in Hapeville now. Check out Freeside Atlanta, you’ll find a lot of people who are interested in tech things.
Hello! I’m also a technologist with a background in coding (C, asm, Pascal, Perl, Python, Go, JS/Node, etc…) but my expertise is in Linux/systems engineering and data center ops. I’m always happy to have a beer (or whatever) and talk nerd.
Ok so it seems like the options thus far are: attend an existing meetup or host my own thing. What do folks think about meeting up on a weekend morning or weeknight at a local place, preferably low key with food?
If you are a reader of Scott Alexander, there is an ACX meetup monthly in Atlanta. Engaging people and conversations to be had there. I’m a semi-regular there.
I feel like that website is from an alternate universe where they speak something like English, but not quite English.
Sounds about right for anything Scott Alexander. I don’t have a ton of exposure but he just showed up in a book I’m reading: Community by Peter Block.
I might be down to hang out.
I, too, have an odd career – mostly small companies, consulting, then real startups, and now a big company. And during all that moved from VB to C# to Ruby to Devops to pure Infrastructure.
Sweet! What would be a good time of day / day of week?
Man, I work from home and generally have no fixed schedule outside of business hours … so pretty much you name it.
Sorry I didn’t see this! I haven’t figured out how to get my various Fediverse clients to tell me that there is activity on all the places I’m participating. We are moving into our new house this Saturday, and I’d be down to meet up after that! I’d personally prefer a weekend brunch thing, but I don’t know about others…
