nah. I've found that most of my coworkers were autistic video game nerds -- great, I love games too -- and that I've worked with essentially the same guy in like 4 jobs. all of their hot takes read like the same cringe posts you'd see on reddit. not bad guys, some skilled programmers, but not really interesting.
a few interesting outliers, some of whom I'm still in contact with, but after I left the org I never saw them again.
6 months after you leave the org no one there will remember your name, and I don't think it is worthwhile to restructure your work life in order to socialize with people you're only around because you need to pay your mortgage. Go to meetup.com group, or a bar, or join a sports team, book club, etc.
