January Hacker Townhall

Important! We're back at General Assembly.

An entirely independent gathering of technologists, tinkerers, and thinkers.

... with free pizza and beer. And maybe a presentation or two. Bring your projects, friends, co-workers, and stories -- and be prepared to leave with more than you came with. Happy hacking!

    Just because someone is a recruiter, doesn't mean they can't code. I've been coding since AOL dial-up, making progs with Hoss and Lith - Mad Cow.

    Does 'no spots left' actually mean we can't invite more folks? I snagged a spot, but I want to bring some coworkers.

    If you're a recruiter that codes, feel free to show up. Perhaps a better way to put it is that we don't want anyone, recruiter or not, coming to the meetup just to poach smart hackers - it just happens most often with recruiters because its their job ;)

    @Evan you are 100% welcome! I'm sorry that wording is a little imprecise -- we're just trying to ensure that everyone who attends this event is a builder and/or an aspiring builder. Our goal is bring builders together -- we're just trying to filter out distractions.

    Is the printable ticket supposed to have my name on it? Mine looks generic. Just the event info and a map.
