Nope - I'm in a town of <15k people. The nearest city of the size of Birmingham or Atlanta is 2.5 hours away from me.

Are you remote or are there actually offices there of engineers?

I'm remote. There are a few of us around, but no community to speak of.

I've tried to build a local network, but haven't had much success yet.

I've had a similar problem in Rhode Island.

It seems like meaningful meetups are just hard when you don't live near a large community of software developers with similar interests.

I imagine remote work exacerbates this. I.e., more of us live away from those population centers.

I have a friend in Pawtucket who is a tech consultant and seems to do OK. Maybe he would know about local meetups.

nice! love that for you.
