Interview with Aleksandar Simovic
summary
Belgrade meetup grows from a handful to almost 2,000 members over about four years, runs regular workshops and community events, and describes the city as big with mixed architecture and a friendly, brotherly tech scene. A pair of organizers build an open‑source deployment tool and a hobby project called Silane self-hosted error tracker that behaves like Sentry/Raven, integrates with S3/AWS, and aims for easy on‑premise use. Advice: keep shipping, learn continuously, and treat community work as persistent practice rather than instant success.
