Went to a coding meetup and nobody talked about actual code

Last week I went to a local beginner coding meetup in Austin. I sat through 45 minutes of someone pitching their startup and another 30 minutes of people arguing about which text editor is better. Not a single person showed a line of code or asked how to fix a problem. I was hoping to get help with a loop that keeps breaking my script, but I just sat there wasting my Thursday night. Has anyone else found a decent beginner group that actually focuses on coding problems instead of ego battles?

Wait so instead of coding help you got a sales pitch and a keyboard war? Sounds like the ultimate way to spend a Thursday night lol.

Right, next time they'll probably demo a timeshare.

45 minutes of a startup pitch at a beginner meetup? Unreal.
