I'm happy that this is NOT the case at the monthly SacJUG meetup I attend. I think there is a "hump" of 40-ish +/- attendees, but the age ranges from 20-ish to retired, and it's an enthusiastic, friendly, group. Even though the core Java topics are very "ordinary" and work-related, aimed at the Sacramento job market, people are always exploring the peripheries for interesting libraries, new databases and related platforms or alternate JVM compatible languages. Anyway, it's a friendly group, and we usually go out for a good long BS/dinner/drink session afterward at one of the local bar & grills.
Of course, Sacramento is not Silicon Valley, and we're just working stiffs, not maneuvering to make our next million.

Again, not everyone in the "scene," is a dBag, it's just jarring to meet and encounter a large percentage of them! It makes starting up and doing a start up a whole lot tougher, but whatever you just do it because you are driven no matter how you are treated.
