Heh, at first I was sympathetic to OP, but I find that I agree with you a lot. My problem isn't that OP isn't proactive enough to start a meetup himself, but that he readily admits that he "got bored after 20 minutes". Honestly, if you get bored after 20 minutes, programming isn't for you. In this job, there are days when you churn out one feature after another, and days when you spend the whole time staring at the monitor wondering how to fix that bug. And guess what OP? That happens to everyone, regardless of location or place of work.
