Tell HN: I got a job while following my curiosity

when the new generative AI boom started, a friend and I felt like we were constantly stuck behind the curve. We decided to host a weekly meetup with anyone interested and using generative AI. From that a desire to host a few hackathons was created, and that we executed as well. At one hackathon, I met my new employer, after they saw my attitude, ability and learning rate. At the start of the journey, there was no idea of what could come out of the weekly grind of a meetup, but this is one of the few things that have come out of it. tldr; started a meetup, momentum grew to host hackathons, met my new employer.
