I am about move myself to just 15 min outside SF after always living like 1-2 hours from a major metropolitan area. I'm 31, so I definitely feel a lot of FOMO because I spent my 20s living in stagnant places. While the places I lived were nice, they were super boring and I felt so complacent. Not many people had any aspirations, it was so hard to find people to talk ideas with or hack on stuff. Colleagues were cool, but weren't really that into doing anything extra. I'm looking forward to living in the bay area, especially so close to SF. From my few visits there thus far all I see are tons of office spaces with familiar company names, every cafe is busy with people on their laptops and some are coding, loads of meetups. I hope I can "launch" my career again being over here. Every day once I close my work laptop, I do some me things and then get back on my personal laptop later to learn something new and build out some weird app idea. A few days ago I was curious about XMPP and comparing it to other protocols like Matrix, and managed to set up and deploy ejabberd, and then connected to it from a flutter app. For me it was a fun experience, figuring out the configuration options, setting up my debian box and nginx configs.. I wish I had a friend or few with whom I could just talk tech and stuff that interests me, and in turn be there for them. That is my goal - find some good friends and either build something together or work at an early small startup. If you're in SF and want to be friends, hit me up! My email is in my profile.
