Update: Meetup had revived the group and are welcoming us back again. At the end, no data was lost, even though interim communications suggested it was.
We are happy that things had finally taken a positive turn and are happy to stay at meetup and grow our community to our next event and next next event. We are a little bit sorry that things went soar for awhile but what's important is that at the end both us and meetup had learned how to make things better for the next time.

Meetup, you've been bad, bad hosts!

TL;DR: Meetup had deleted my group, for what I beleive to be their mistake, yet they did not admit the mistake nor can they restore the data. I am deeply dissapointed from meetup and I've lost my trust in them.

1. It's a boy's club (by and large)
2. The submission process is major pain. 100 fields to fill out
3. They want it to be focused entirely around Microsoft products, and giving little attention to other important values of software development.
4. They don't cover travel expenses unless you know somebody or fight for it. And covering for some and not all is wrong.
5. They want to review your presentation and have the right to modify it if they want.
6. It's hardly about development anymore, but IT.

and finally, the whole conference is a lot of hype and somewhat arguable formalities.

Brands I Boycott and Why

An ever-evolving list of brands I boycott and why as well as the last date I supported them. I'll continue to update this list as I learn more and detach myself from the firm grip of big tech and corporatism.

I recognise, as a tech worker, that we've created quite the hydra, so detaching ourselves becomes much more complicated than it ever should be. I also recognise that like the capitalistic umbrella tech operates under, we are somewhat stuck using certain technologies (for example, I am writing this here on GitHub, which refuses to drop ICE as a contract.).

I am not perfect and recognise this can be seen as moralistic. I am doing this to share information that may help influence your decisions. They may not. That's up for you to decide.

My hope is to encourage everyone to be more thoughtful in how they vote with their wallets.
