Here's what you need to know: We aim to be a network of developers in NYC interested in becoming better, learning from each other and networking. We mix hardcore computer science with s …

This is for nerds who understand that it's not the "bad" in bad boys that women crave, but rather the sense of "aliveness" that comes from thinking. This group is for nerderttes that understand and accept these men as they are. As bright, sophisticated women, mental stimulation is just as important as physical in our relatio …
