I miss times when #developers and #programmers when really passionate about the #technology . I remember free #meetups , doing pro bono, #opensource and #foss Now, pretty much the only meetups:

- ask you for 20 usd just to hear obsolete 6 months intro equal to the 'getting started' doc you can see in github,

- you pay 200 - 500 usd to attend the confernece just to hear 1) #corporate #marketing #bullshit 2) out-of-date 6 moths+ news when sometimes it's whole tech lifecycle when technology becomes 'trendy' and 'outdated'

Try finding weekend meetups for free even in any country capitols... Tech is dying and people coming here even cannot read kubectl --help or man bash. We reached #eternalseptember point for devs
