Dear Mastodon, I want to talk to more cool programmers, hackers, and digital artists.

I dunno how to make this happen, but I figured saying it was the first step.

@Elucidating welcome to Mastodon. Same boat. Keep me in the loop on who you meet!
@Elucidating I do all kinds of hacking but never anything web except out of necessity (attempting to use broken websites) follow if you wanna be friends
@Elucidating If you are looking for network security people check the instance i am on. Can also check who i follow.
@Elucidating you totally should
@xor Squee it's Parker Higgins wtf you're famous hello hi squee I'm not squeeing squee it's just a keyboard squee error.
@Elucidating you're not in the bay area are you? I have been trying to burrow in to the programmer/hacker/artist scene here for a while
@xor I've been in SF for some time, mostly in the distributed systems and fintech part of the scene. Anyone in particular you were hoping to meet?
@Elucidating no, I mean, I've been doing a pretty good job of it! If you want to talk to more I can make some intros or invite you to events

@xor Ah, sure! Let me know the next cool thing.

I am just coming out of gold handcuffs at a bank so it's like defrosting after a cryogenic freeze.

@Elucidating
I'm not any of these things but I think you're going about this the right way. Or at least, this is how I've always met people. So kudos.
