Bird watching? Ballroom dancing? This has to be a joke, I’ve never met a single person under 60 that does either of these

  I don't know about bird-watching, but ballroom dancing is really big in computer science. It was really big in my CS department on the east coast 20 years ago, and it's really big at Stanford now. As far as I understand it, software engineers in the Bay Area have two common hobbies: indoor rock-climbing at Planet Granite and ballroom dancing. I would never have guessed how common they are, but it is what it is. D&D is a distant third.

    > ballroom dancing is really big in computer science Lol that’s the absolute polar opposite of what the OP wants. They want to get away from other engineers like them and to meet some different people.
