Community === You
summary
Local examples and numbers show what works: a PWA workshop of ~70 people (only one woman) sparks follow-up meetups; a first conference talk to ~600 attendees leads to international invites; a Rails Girls Galicia weekend teaches event running; finding a devrel job happens through coffee-break connections. Practical routes: use Meetup, Twitter, Discord, blogs and talks to network, form real allies (avoid seven-organizer teams with one active member), run events on a monthly cadence, and insist on a safe space for learning and sharing.
