Ask HN: Where should I move to meet interesting tech people?

Hey everybody,

So after about 8 years of various unsuccessful startup attempts I bit the bullet and got a job.

Classical 6 figures tech job in AI for bigtech. Fully remote chill work hours you know the deal.

I used to live for work pouring all my heart into an idea talking to customers iterating working day and night.

Now, I want to work to live travel and most importantly I want to meet as many interesting tech people as possible.

Now my question. Where should I go? Ideally, I want to be able to go back to Germany at least for 3 months a year the rest I am open for suggestions.

Should I move to a digital nomad place like Bali or Portugal? Or a tech hub like San Francisco or Austin?

Time zone wise Hong Kong would be ideal but I am mostly working on my own so it isn't a deal breaker.

Also wherever I am, should I go to conferences ? Meetups? Dm random people on Twitter and Hackernews? Otherwise, il just keep chatting up a bunch of people in co-working spaces.

I feel like nowadays there must be quite a few people in this situation. Would love to hear your thoughts.
