At any given Hackernest meetup, you may find people who are:

  • curious about developing on Ruby on Rails, but far too attached to Cake PHP to ever take the plunge 
  • looking for a tech/entrepreneur/new business story to cover
  • Objective-C experts who secretly hate themselves for working on iPhones/iPads/Apple products 
  • looking to recruit a 5th or 6th engineer for their venture-funded TORONTO-BASED tech startup (no, seriously, it's true - these actually do exist; I happen to be part of one, too) 
  • looking to write articles/stories about the obscure/interesting/hilarious hacks you've pulled off 
  • totally oblivious and just wandered in because they heard there was booze (!?)
  • building a top-secret app out of their basement that's going to change the way the world does X
  • scrambling to find a partner to work with on a well-paying contract that's just a wee bit too much workload for the anticipated deadline
  • heroes because they're part of the burgeoning community that will reverse Toronto's brain-drain
  • ...incredibly talented, smart, entrepreneurial, and absolutely dangerous to the status quo
