Seconding this. I pivoted to tech in my early 30s and feel I've missed out on a lot of community building opportunities.


Recurse Center might be a good option https://www.recurse.com


Recurse center is awesome! The community is curious, kind and supportive. I did 2 batches there and each one expanded my horizons as a programmer.


I would second Recurse Center. I've heard universally great things!


Self-plug: consider Handmade Cities. We have a simple meetups [0] page if you decide you appreciate our ethos. Hopefully we have an active meetup location near you?

In any case, good luck on finding the right community!

My city is on the list but when I submit I get a 404


Which one is this? Las Vegas? If you don’t wish to reveal it here shoot an email so we can fix it: support at handmadecities dot com
