Three cups of Java
summary
Developer communities change hiring, skills and products through repeated, intentional participation rather than one-off attendance: meetup.com lists about 1,300 Java-related groups in 470 cities across 80 countries, Java User Groups appear in 200+ cities, and hackathons like 48 in 48 deliver 48 nonprofit websites in 48 hours. Hands-on exposure to tools such as Quarkus and MicroProfile often becomes the decisive differentiator in interviews and governance (a JUG helped found a MicroProfile steering committee), so build habits of intentional consistency and repeat meetings until strangers become family.
