      I’m still getting a read on you. Maybe I’ll figure it out at refactor camp.

      Dorian isn’t coming to refactor camp afaik 🤔 Haven’t yet met him in person. I have a 50% suspicion he’s just an XSLT stylesheet running on a corpus of XML documents created by ancient aliens on a server somewhere in Canada.

      No it’s a normal people-of-world thing. Only Bay Area people default to actually eventually meeting everyone they connect with online 😀

      Didn’t mean it that way, I think it’s just a nice affordance of living in the tech Mecca that you guys take for granted sometimes 🙂 NY/London people are the same way around finance.

      I thought it was funny so even if it was your point that’d have been cool And yea, I regularly encourage it. I think it has knock on benefits beyond just new friends. Meet people IRL w/ values/interests you can’t find otherwise, grants mental affordance to change yourself faster

      That’s been one of the benefits of doing refactor camp, though organizing it is a bit of a chore. A handful of people have even been coming in from Europe, Asia, and Australia over the years. Otherwise meetups when I travel have only a local reach.

      That’s great. I’m sure ribbonfarm, refactor camp, and these meetups have definitely shaped and tweaked a lot of interesting peoples’ life trajectories. Good thing in the world

          Unfortunately the jury is still out as to whether and when the karma token actually captures the value it creates
