A community for Independent Engineers and Designers in San Francisco
It's lonely at the top.
The Techno Union (+10 points to anyone who gets the reference) is a community for freelance/ entrepeneurial/ independent (or just independently minded) tech industry workers in San Francisco.
This isn't a place to pitch "your next big idea" to investors or try to recruit free labor.
- Find other independent tech workers to have a Work Session with
- Find other independent tech workers to have lunch or coffee with
- Discuss strategies on talking to and negotiating with clients
- Ask other experts questions when Slack Overflow has failed you
- Have open and honest discussions about Tech Working Culture (in all its glory and all its horrors)
Being independent is way better than being a grunt, but locking yourself in your studio can make it difficult to concentrate or not lose your mind.
Work Sessions are when multiple tech workers meet up at a common location (like a coffee shop/ co-working space) and sit/ work together.
The intent of a work session isn't to work on the same project, but rather recreate the camaraderie that you would have with your co-workers.
For now, this organization is invite only. Hit me up if you'd like to join.
