Ask HN: In SF for a month, where can I meet fellow developers?

8 points·currentlyinSF··4 comments

Hi HN!

I'm a software developer from Europe, and I'm currently on holiday for a full month in San Francisco. This is my first time in California.

I've heard so much about the big companies here and also the startup culture, so I would love to meet other developers working here!

Do you have any recommendations on meetups/events/bars/etc where I could meet fellow developers?

Thanks!

I am not really sure whether it's a great meet-up place, but I've always found it filled with interesting people and skillfully prepared libations: The Interval Bar at Fort Mason, the home of the Longnow Organization (https://theinterval.org/).

Events at the Computer History Museum are often worthwhile even though it means a trip down the Peninsula to Mountain View to visit. https://www.computerhistory.org/ The museum itself is interesting as well.

The Internet Archive (https://archive.org) is home to an active community intent upon building an archive of information, especially digital information.

I think that a good place to start is at meetup.com.

Meetups are always good. If you're interested, the Twilio Signal Conference is this week. https://signal.twilio.com/

Visit the Internet Archive! They do regular lunch tours on Fridays but if you call and tell them you'd like a tour they'll set something up!
