I haven't been to a programming meet-up for a very long time. It was pretty fun when I was in San Francisco, because I felt like there were startups everywhere, and everyone was excited about lots of cool technologies. And I got so many free shirts.

This post has actually inspired me to check out some more meetups conferences. I might see if I can fly in for the React Native conference in Portland [1]. Firstly, because React Native is my new favorite tool, after using it for the last few months. And secondly, because my wife and I have just decided that we might like to move to Portland one day, and we've never been there before. We might go check it out for a weeks.

Gack. Don't move to Portland. It's crowded, overpriced, dreary, constantly raining, and there's no decent bookstores or parks.

Weather is awful, traffic is worse. But other than that PDX is great, esp. the restaurants.
