#102Happy New Year everyone! HN will always remain in my heart and mind. 5 years ago I moved to Amsterdam to work on a super interesting R&D project that taught me a lot about GPS, coordinate systems, algorithms, and sadly the importance of having a short commute. I spent an hour and a half to get in either direction. That was demotivating and made me depressed and tired. HN was how I passed time, first on the train, the…
Are you still doing that commute?
No. I got homesick after a year and a half and moved back. I've been working remotely ever since with no commute, which I find awesome!

#103Happy New Year everyone!
HN has been very insightful and although I don't post often, just lurking and reading the articles/comments makes me realise how shit I am
And although I'm not in the best frame of mind right now, I hope 2024 will be a year where I can change my career around. Much love to everyone here

#106I used to have friends in uni with whom i could share very nerdy/technical conversations. near graduation we no longer get together sadly. this has taken a toll on me. HN is a place that feels like home, even if I'm usually just lurking around and overhearing conversations. Thanks everyone for sharing!

#108Earlier quoted context omitted.
Monthly lunches? Meet up to play a tabletop game? Go for a hike? Have a group receive a tech presentation once a quarter? Lots of options, most just take your time and emails/contacting possibly interested folks.
If it's like around here (London, UK) the last thing people want to talk about is the day job!
The Bay Area in the early 2000's and even into the early 2000-teens was NOT like this.
You could go out to lunch and have a technical chat and the people at the table next to you might chime in with a solution!
When you get enough passionate people and pack them into one location things get interesting for them (networking, friendships etc)... Much of the passion is gone (lots of people see tech as a path to a paycheck), and everyone wants to WFH.
