@JoshuaKGoldberg @joe As the founder and organizer of a meetup myself (#VlbgWebDev) I wonder a lot how different our paths were and still are.

During my exchange semester I visited #CopenhagenJS a two or three times. When I returned back home I wanted to do something similar, but there literally was no meetup in that area back in the day, so some of your tips don't apply.

I recently had a talk at CopenhagenJS to STOP using floating point numbers for math and money calculations. Today I became aware of PHP's `str_decrement` function which does "math" with strings.

It's like PHP heard me and went: HOLD MY BEER! 🍺 https://www.php.net/manual/en/function.str-decrement.php
