Engineers often struggle to start conversations. One solution: form casual communities around non-technical interests instead of forcing networking. Low-pressure meetups attract tech professionals naturally.
Sometimes engineers are like very shy.
Yeah, yeah.
It's hard to have a conversation. How to start the conversation?
You gotta start networking and creating a community of something that's maybe not tech-related.
Okay.
And like everybody thinks they gotta create another networking event. I talked with another developer in Charlotte, North Carolina who wants to start a tech event. I said, just make it non-tech-related. Talk about F1, talk about whatever, right? Like I think people are a little tired of tech. Yeah. So if you can create a meetup around I'm gonna go try the latest new restaurant in the area once a month. All my tech friends are invited. Just keep it casual.
