From now on I only do themed meetups, where someone kicks off a topic or leads an activity. That’s how we did early refactorings meetups — as field trips/activities/going to talks together/deep dives.
Then we got lazy and it degenerated to meetups for the sake of meetups. 😬😳

This is actually Pournelle’s Iron Law of Bureaucracy applied to meetups. Call it the Iron Law of Meetups: meetups for the sake of X will give way to meetups for the sake of meetups.

1/ Can you say more about this? Sorry for maybe dumb question but does “someone gives a talk with q & a” = “someone kicks of a topic” Trying to get myself out to more meetups but want to be smart about picking them.
