Show HN: Slow Code, a monthly meetup to practice coding by hand
4 points by virgil_disgr4ce 25 days ago
Hi all, I'm thinking of starting a monthly meetup (in NYC) where we spend an hour or 2 (or whatever) writing some code the old-fashioned way (no generated code). Currently looking for venues, but I put together a fun little landing page (by hand, of course) that includes an IBM 5081 punch card emulation: https://slowcode.dev

If you're in the NYC area and are interested in joining, drop your email; if you have an idea for a venue let me know. Hoping to run the first event in June.

And if this is a thing people are into, and you want to start your own somewhere, by all means do it, and I can update the site with info on different events/places.
