I spend a lot of time thinking about code, how it should be written and why. Have worked on big things and small things. For every book I read, I buy 5 more.
Yeah, for sure. It's worth thinking about. My thinking is that this community seems really positive and supportive, and it would be nice to get to know each other better. A post/comment system doesn't quite lend itself to that endeavour as nice as real-time chat does.
Native Android developer/Consultant for Appwise, I work on custom projects for clients.
PHP/JS (web) developer in my freetime. Trying to keep learning in an ever changing tech world.
I think a Discord server (or a Slack server) would be awesome, this can be used for lots of different things but of course moderation will be a huge task and they would probably need to assign community members to help them.
I could see lots of different channels:
General chat
Topics, for more a specialised chat or help
Jobs, people looking for a job or sharing job offers
Dev, (maybe private) for people working on DEV project and wanting to discuss PR's and or issues, could be split between into 2 channels (public/private)
This is something I am missing here if I want to ask a DEV team member something (or support) but find it not big enough for a Github issue or a mail.
For further actions, you may consider blocking this person and/or reporting abuse
We're a place where coders share, stay up-to-date and grow their careers.
I like Discord but I wonder if, by nature, it's a good fit for dev.to - or at least the whole of dev.to?
I mean I can't help but consider how different the fundamentals of dev.to is to any kind of instant messaging platform...
