Makes me proud to be a Pittsburgher. Any others here at hn?

  Long time lurker ...finally signed up just to say "me too" :-)

  Not a native but I attended CMU and I love the town.
  • urlwolf 17y ago
    Same here. I had great times at CMU, and after living in many different cities around the world (currently Berlin) I think Pittsburgh is a dormant giant for startup work.
• mtomczak 17y ago
  Yep. Working at a startup company in the city right now, in fact.
• JoelMcCracken 17y ago
  I am from Pittsburgh. This has needed to be said for a long time. I believe Pittsburgh will grow in tech prominence in the time ahead. If nothing else, it is an easy city to maintain "ramen profitability".
• jimbokun 17y ago
  Saw you at the first HN meetup, but missed the subsequent ones. I work at CMU.
• steveklabnik 17y ago
  I'm currently in an AlphaLab company.
• jknupp 17y ago
  Not originally from Pittburgh but spent 5 years at CMU. Love the city and really hope the tech industry there takes off (more than it already has).
• jdrock 17y ago
  Not there anymore, but got my undergrad in CS at CMU.

  My start-up and I will soon return to Pittsburgh, fleeing NC's recent affiliate tax legislation. What's the scoop on entrepreneurship/tech meet-ups? the refreshPittsburgh blog seems abandoned.
  • steveklabnik 17y ago
    There's lots of great things. First of all, we have an Open Coffee Club, there's lots of great people there. DevHouse suffered some leadership changes, but they're going strong again. My own HackPittsburgh is doing pretty well, we've got about 30ish members. refreshPittsburgh just announced on their Twitter that they're doing something towards the end of August. I didn't see it on their blog yet. Entreprenurial Thursdays is happening, too...

  I'm from Pittsburgh. Moved back 4 years ago after living in Boston for 6. Moved because I believe that Pittsburgh is a great place to raise a family. My wife is a stay at home mom and we couldn't pull this off in Boston. If you look hard enough, you'll see quite a few startups. I'm working at one now, Conviva.com
• mressler 17y ago
  Not a native Pittsburgher, but surely proud to call myself a happy Pittsburgh transplant!
• cpr 17y ago
  Well, close--I live in Steubenville, OH, about 40 minutes away. But I do get into meetups, etc., in Pittsburgh. It is a great little city. (Though Boston will always be my spiritual hometown...)
• cpr 17y ago
  Any more HN meetups planned?
  • steveklabnik 17y ago
    I'd certainly be interested in attending one. I missed the last few.
• sjs382 17y ago
  Yup. South Hills area.

  Yup, not a member of a startup - at least not at the moment - but a proud resident. :)
