Ask HN: US-based non-enterprise programming conferences?
What are some US-based conferences for people interested in software or computer science? Topics can be broad or narrow, but ideally:
- accessible to a range of working professionals (and not an academic colloquium for a small circle of graduate students)
- not focused on enterprise and big business (e.g., not Snowflake Summit or Databricks Summit)
- mostly focused on topics in software, computer science, and programming languages (not hardware makers/hackers)
- preferably with a strong component of bringing people together in person to share some kind of passion, project, or personal interest
Suggestions?
- coreyp_1 4y agoHonestly, I would love to find someone... ANYONE... near me that would like to talk about stuff they're building. I'm working on a C++ http client & server library from scratch (planning to support http 1.1, 2 and 3, while most C++ http libraries only support 1.1), and I'm learning a ton of things that I would LOVE to show someone! I also built a templating language (also in C++) and a worker queue thread pool (C++, being used by the http project). I would be ABSOLUTELY THRILLED to geek out over someone else's project. But nobody builds anything for fun. :/ I have programmer friends, but they only program for their job.
