I've only been here 3 years, most of which has been a COVID pandemic. I also don't tend to ever seek out tech scenes anywhere, so I'm probably not the right person to ask. As a self-employed aging developer with my own FLOSS project that generates a good income, it's a fine place to live. If I was a younger developer eager to learn and expand, much harder to say if it would be a good choice (it might be, but it might not).
