Happy new year. Like OP I'm here multiple times a day and take a lot out and try to give back. Here's to more of this next year.

#122Earlier 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!
I can't talk with my colleagues exactly because I'd like to talk about tech 24/7. HN helps.

#125Happy 2024. This year was full of surprises. Hard to tell which way they will go. Be curious, be adaptive, smile, and spread the love. Everything else will fall into place.

#126I 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!
If you’re ever in need to geek out, hit up someone who posted something interesting and ask them if they’re up for chatting. It’s not the most comfortable thing to do, but I’ve had a some great conversations with random people from HN. You’d be surprised how often it works out.
Btw, open invite. Contact info in profile.

#127Here's to another year of:
Emacs, and org-mode
Firefox, and the inexplicable lack of vertical tabs adoption in Chrome
zsh, fzf, ripgrep awesomeness, fd, asdf/rtx, btop, and cool shell stuff
Rust everywhere
Factorio!
Frivolous Nerdery!

I think sometimes you have to realize that it's OKAY if you're always the one to keep in touch, and no one else seems to make any effort.
As long as they're happy to talk when you call, or they show up at the group event when you badger them enough: that's fine. Some people are just not initiators, and it's either you make the effort, or you lose touch with them. You can't insist on reciprocity.
