I have the opposite experience. Talking with people in real life is stressful (for someone like me with social anxiety.) Rarely do I walk away from an encounter with a random person in “meat space” feeling any better than I did when I walked up to them. And even when I do, I replay the interaction over and over again until I’m sure I didn’t embarrass myself. Plus, where I live, there is no tech community. It’s just not popular here, but it’s what I’m interested in. (I even tried starting a meet up, but got 0 turnout, then the local startup accelerator closed in 2020) I only get to talk shop online.
