Have any folks found any worthwhile NYC meetups, technical or business or otherwise, they try to make? Knowing about fun drinkups or even more social oriented tech startup crowd meetups would be cool, too.
I'm trying to make it out of the office a bit more and these gatherings seem like an excellent reason to do.

They're hiring Ruby folks in SF if you're interested.

It's ok.
In the startup cycle I've seen a lot of: Do a quick v1 in Ruby, get traction, realize that RoR is slow, bloated, and difficult to manage complexity with, then do a rewrite in something JVM based (hint: Scala).

Sup guys,
Figured I'd jump in here. Just started working for a Y-Combinator (W14) backed company called Ambition. Was founded in Jan 2013 by three of my old fraternity brothers (3rd attempt at launching a startup) and it's just really starting to take off--I'm in charge of all of our marketing efforts at the moment.
Basically, we do enterprise data analytics/gamification software sales. Our product takes your company's employees' productivity data, then measures and scores that data, like they are fantasy football players. We put the employees on teams that compete against one another each week. Here's a couple links to give y'all some more insight.

http://ambition.com
Down to field any questions about what we've (or really, they've) done to get this far, and also solicit input about best practices for our marketing efforts going forward.
I apologize for not making a very productive comment, but this is why people think YCombinator is a joke.
