Thanks for the mention Jarvis! I appreciate it and glad that post made an impact!

I did get off the wait list for Virtual Coffee as I mentioned in my latest Monthly Dev Report. I will try to see to join their weekly zoom meet tomorrow!

Great work again :D

What's Virtual Coffee? Is it a place for developers to meet and hangout? Can I join?

As far as I looked into their website, yes!

dev.to/virtualcoffee

You can become a member by joining their wait list.

virtualcoffee.io/resources/virtual...

I recently got an email that I was off the wait list and now all I have to do is join their weekly meeting and I am in their Slack channel (becoming a Full Member). I only notice this group since Jarvis is part of the org and I was interested in joining. Seems quite chill tbh.

Ok nice. I'll check it out and see whether I get off the waiting list. Thanks for the help.

Congrats on becoming a full member. Do tell me your experience of attending your first virtual coffee.

I've checked the comment section: @francistrdev and @konark_13 You two should probably exchange numbers or meet up for a coffee.

Just saying

Good idea Nyanguno.😂

We got carried away in this comment section. Both would be virtually since we both are in different countries. But yea thanks for the amazing suggestion.

You should.
I wonder what the startup will be. If you two were to start a startup, what would it be?

I think the talk we had so far. It's about community and virtual coffee and wpm and github. So, maybe a mix of all these.

A platform where seniors developers in open source can guide and help write better PRs or have a chat over virtual coffee about the issues new devs are facing. But, for better ideas we need to sit and have a chat and find something an issue that's common to both that we can solve together.

This is actually a brilliant idea.
Let me know once you guys have launched the startup.

It's a place for developers of different experience levels to meet and talk. We have 2 weekly coffee chats, Tues 9am EST, Thurs 12:00pm EST. we just talk for an hour. There's an active Slack where we chat daily and support each other.

Sounds too much fun and a very interesting way to learn from developers. I would be starstruck seeing and listening to all of you talking. One day, I'll join and have a coffee with you and learn from you. You seemed pretty awesome and quite insightful. Thank you for clearing my doubt.
