What do you expect from dev meet-ups? 🤝

#discuss #meetup #learning

When you attend a dev meet-up what are your expectations?

Reason is that, I am exposed to fewer dev meet-ups and scope of learning and frequency of meet-ups is less where I live. So, am curious about what is happening all around the world and want to listen to it directly from devs instead of some google search.

Let me add some from my little experience :

Networking,
AMAs,
Coding standards.

Thanks for your time 🙌

I attend meetups to network with others and see if others are using tech that I should try. It's mostly about the networking for me though.

I am noticing a trend in women age 18-22 I’m mentoring— they try to network and get mentoring and go to meetups and literally every guy they try to talk with gets flirty

They’re *blocked* from this professional advancement because so many guys jump straight into trying to date

Oh God no.

Luckily I haven't noticed it so much at the meetups I attend. Not sure if it's because everyone's a bit older or because of the 0 tolerance policy of the group or something else entirely.

Even I saw some in the small Dev community around me. 😅
