Summary
This edition of the recurring TechBrunch meetup is a Vim-themed morning gathering at the Beltempo restaurant inside Hotel Metropolitan Edmont in Iidabashi, Chiyoda. Attendees eat together and talk about modal editing: show-and-tells of .vimrc or init.lua configurations, plugin recommendations, and tips for working faster with keyboard-driven editors. The invitation is deliberately wide. Long-time Vim users, people new to modal editing, Neovim and Evil users, developers who have wired modal keybindings into other applications, and anyone who has ever had to look up how to quit the editor are all welcome. Format is conversational rather than presentation-driven. It is a small group by design, so RSVP matters: the organizers note they may relocate within the venue and cannot guarantee unregistered visitors will find them. First-time attendees who RSVP and appear on the confirmed attendee list get their meal covered. The group may gather slightly before the posted 07:45 start but commits to being present at the scheduled time.
About the community

TechBrunch is a recurring Tokyo meetup that pairs a technical topic with a sit-down meal at a restaurant, keeping each gathering small enough for one shared conversation. Editions rotate through developer tooling and engineering subjects, and the crowd mixes experienced practitioners with newcomers. First-time attendees who RSVP and are confirmed on the list have their meal covered, which makes it an easy entry point for people new to the group.
