So many hallmarks of LLM authorship (the arrows, the framing, the unnecessary fluff, the big important-sounding words). Not to mention the vested interests of the author. Let’s just call it what it is: bullshit. No signal, just noise.

Yes! I moved internationally in 2012 and, knowing no-one in my new city, promptly volunteered to organise the local chapter of a popular developer meetup. I met dozens of friends and future colleagues at those monthly meets. Almost immediat
