Update for the Tacolytics Tuesdays meet-up on Feb 06 2024 at Taco Boy's on Mill Ave. in Tempe.   Our maiden Tacolytics Tuesdays was a success. The nightclub-loud music through the PA system forced us outside into the cold rain; in spite of this, we had a modest turnout of 8 attendees, including representatives from: Aetna / CVS Silicon Valley Bank Arizona State University Meritage Homes   As this was our first meet-up, we mainly shared little stories about ourselves and the tools / technology we use, and the projects we do at work.
