Correction: there’s nobody that’s said they want to come.
If you start up a meetup—some people may come out of the woodwork. I know of at least one very cool programmer-dude in Sweden (stockholm) - there must be other cool geek-types about too.
have you considered getting into programming (if you’re not already). AFAICT, there’s a high crossover rate with LW-types there… and certainly you’ll find people interesting to talk to.
I’m already into programming. I dabble in several languages, have top grades in it, and love the art form. Unfortunately I don’t have time to practice and get good enough to do anything useful in a reasonable amount of time.
where do you live?
...and have you made it to (or started) any of the LessWrong meetups?
Southern Sweden. And yea I’ve checked the possibility of starting an LW meetup, there’s nobody to come.

You don’t have to be “good” to go to meetups or hackdays.
Just go.
If you need to learn anything—you can use the meetup/hackday to actually learn what it is you don’t know… or just to have fun.
