Ask HN: Where did you find your “cult”? (As described in Zero to One by Thiel)
Just finished reading Zero To One by Peter Thiel and there's an interesting chapter where he talks about how the best kind of startups almost resembles a cult.
The idea is that a culture of total dedication that looks almost crazy from the outside is required to make a startup succeed. In exchange, "members" experience strong feelings of belonging.
I find this idea fascinating because in my 30 years of life I still haven't found a place where I "belong".
So HN: where did you find your place of belonging? Was it in a new city/country? University? A hackathon? A meetup of some kind?
