Ask HN: Casual hacking in bay area?
I just arrived in the bay area as a postdoc (not CS) at Stanford. In spare time I enjoy dabbling with web apps and random side projects.
Where can I go to meet others and have company while hacking? Could be very casual like sitting in a cafe hacking for a while, or more organized like a user group meeting with talks. Are there any meetup lists/groups?

- ely-s 10y agoThere's a meetup for your favorite JS library here, but I haven't found a group that I deeply enjoy going to yet. The challenge has been finding the right proportions of casualness, skill, and drive to actually build something in a group. I'm not far from Stanford, so I would also be interested in a good answer to this.
