How is the Boulder group? I've been meaning to come that way - I'd pay at this point to have strategic rather than consistently tactical technology discussions. Every other meetup group devolves into frameworks, "cool tech", language talks, devops, etc.
- mooreds 8y agoSomeone else mentioned"war stories" and I have definitely heard some. But I have found it to be stimulating and interesting conversation, with some different perspectives (for instance on hiring). However, the best bang for the buck, in terms of strategic insight, is probably the email list.
- miles_matthias 8y agoI'd agree about the email list. The lunch format is great for non-awkward socializing, but people are busy and travel a lot, and the email list gives a way for people to write out long form advice and experiences to give to the group. That's a big part of what I'm trying to help scale for the group.
- kathkeating 8y agoThere was a good discussion on impostor syndrome at one of the lunches. And once we had a great roundtable lunch discussion on Security (I learned so much that day).
