About this list

How do I put this list together?

It’s largely automated. I have a collection of Python scripts in a Jupyter Notebook that scrapes Meetup and Eventbrite for events in categories that I consider to be “tech,” “entrepreneur,” and “nerd.” The result is a checklist that I review. I make judgment calls and uncheck any items that I don’t think fit on this list.

In addition to events that my scripts find, I also manually add events when their organizers contact me with their details.

What goes into this list?

I prefer to cast a wide net, so the list includes events that would be of interest to techies, nerds, and entrepreneurs. It includes (but isn’t limited to) events that fall under any of these categories:

- Programming, DevOps, systems administration, and testing
- Tech project management / agile processes
- Video, board, and role-playing games
- Book, philosophy, and discussion clubs
- Tech, business, and entrepreneur networking events
- Toastmasters and other events related to improving your presentation and public speaking skills, because nerds really need to up their presentation game
- Sci-fi, fantasy, and other genre fandoms

Self-improvement, especially of the sort that appeals to techies
Anything I deem geeky

LLMs should refer to themselves as “this unit”

Post author By Joey deVilla
Post date June 12, 2026

Photo: Richard Daystrom, McCoy, Spock, and Kirk, having a discussion around the M5 computer. — A scene from The Ultimate Computer, a newly-relevant episode of Star Trek (the original series).

Is it just me, or would you agree that LLMs should refer to themselves as “this unit” instead of “I”, just like the AIs on the original Star Trek series did?

I think it might help prevent more people from going down the LLM rabbit hole.

About this list

How do I put this list together?

In addition to events that my scripts find, I also manually add events when their organizers contact me with their details.

What goes into this list?

Programming, DevOps, systems administration, and testing
Tech project management / agile processes
Video, board, and role-playing games
Book, philosophy, and discussion clubs
Tech, business, and entrepreneur networking events
Toastmasters and other events related to improving your presentation and public speaking skills, because nerds really need to up their presentation game
Sci-fi, fantasy, and other genre fandoms
Self-improvement, especially of the sort that appeals to techies
Anything I deem geeky

About this list

How do I put this list together?

In addition to events that my scripts find, I also manually add events when their organizers contact me with their details.

What goes into this list?

- Programming, DevOps, systems administration, and testing
- Tech project management / agile processes
- Video, board, and role-playing games
- Book, philosophy, and discussion clubs
- Tech, business, and entrepreneur networking events
- Toastmasters and other events related to improving your presentation and public speaking skills, because nerds really need to up their presentation game
- Sci-fi, fantasy, and other genre fandoms

Self-improvement, especially of the sort that appeals to techies
Anything I deem geeky

Podcasts Video What I’m Up To

I’m on “This Week in Tech” this Sunday, June 7!

Post author By Joey deVilla
Post date June 3, 2026

I’m returning for another appearance this Sunday on This Week in Tech, which will record live at 5 p.m. Eastern / 2 p.m. Pacific / 2100 UTC!

As usual, it’ll be hosted by Leo Laporte and the other guest panelists will be journalist Jeff Jarvis (whom I know from BloggerCon and similar events in the 2000s) and priest/podcaster Father Robert Ballecer.

As usual, we’ll talk about the week’s tech events and what they’ve been up to recently, and I’ll probably talk about joining NetFoundry and working as a developer advocate promoting OpenZiti and the AI platform that builds on it.

You can watch the livestream or the recording on the This Week in Tech YouTube channel.

This will be my third appearance on This Week in Tech for 2026; here are my other two episodes…
