Sadly no, but they were going downhill before the pandemic. Where is your community located? I’m in Dallas, TX and used to really enjoy the meetup scene, but they take a ton of dedication to keep going.

As I’ve gotten more experienced in my career, I’ve wanted a new type of meetup that appeals to more than just software.

I think we’re in that phase similar to 2001-2007ish, where there was a waning of tech meetups, and then a resurgence for a few years as new languages and frameworks really disrupted things.

Me too. I’ve been to a in person meetup and planning on going out more. Hit me up if you wanna talk tech or ideas sometime, I’m new here and looking to make friends.
