In one of the socialĬhannels I hang out in, we’ve spent the past 6 years gradually building theįor a start, wormy is highly schizophrenic. Pastime for IRC enthusiasts is the creation of bots. Getting rapid responses to check your assumptions is really helpful if you have to touch an unfamiliar section of the code base for a patch.Having been hanging out in 200+ channels on 10+ networks 24/7 for the past 10 Look at the mozilla irc network for an example. Don't sell it so short.Įdit: I forgot to mention that IRC is also a base for lots of open source project collaboration. If you hang out in any room for long enough you're likely to experience the "I've been here since." pissing contest. One thing that is annoying is watching interesting conversation get disintegrated by the regulars taking over to talk about banal everyday topics like what they're currently eating or just ate, etc. This is certainly a problem is many IRC channels, but I have no idea what to do about it. IRC always feels more like a social scene, and a distraction. > To me, IRC has always been a "grapevine" tool, where etiquette, social pecking orders and gossip are shared amongst a smallish close-knit social circle. Language or domain specific channels are great for getting rapid responses to well thought out queries. whereas #java (even its mods) frequently sound like pre-teens yelling profanity at each other on XBox Live.Īlthough I agree with you, as others have pointed out you're selling IRC short for certain use cases. However, I've found that those first two channels are welcoming and thoughtful, with interesting discussion always taking place. You would think that channels like #clojure and #go-nuts would be populated by immature hipsters, while #java would be made up of 40-something corporate types.
Ironically, they degrade over time as their underlying technology matures.
From what I've seen, the nicer communities are the newer channels. I've lost interest in general chat, outside of specific questions and answers. Likewise, I throw out a quick question of my own every now and then, when I'm afraid it's too subjective in nature to avoid being closed by StackOverflow-lawyers. so that during builds, or other short bursts of idle time, I can glace over and see if there are any questions I can answer. I leave a connection to Freenode running while I'm at work, in a few channels related to my job. I don't know that there are too many interesting "abstract" IRC communities, beyond those Freenode channels specific to a given programming language or technology.
