If not less. I can't do traditional meetups here anymore, I've met maybe 2-3 technical people who even know how to code a basic webpage and I've gone to over 2 dozens in Venice/SM and some "notable organizations" - just tons of "biz dev" "marketing" and "media" people, great, but I guess WE are all looking for more hardcore tech-oriented people here. I've met some great people at UCLA Venture Fund events (look them up) but what we should all do in this thread is organize a small HN meetup in LA. LA is without a doubt growing, slowly but surely, and heading into the tech startup trajectory, even with all all the wantrepreneurs and media guys... Engineers and anyone with face stuck to screen for 10+ hours a day is going to have a tough time meeting like minded people in real life, hence is the nature of the beast. What could be more powerful than bright people getting together to discuss cool stuff.
