 While I love being a lone wolf fedi developer, having nobody to discuss development with gets lonely My partner, friends and family are not devs, so I resort to our discord and matrix channels to excitingly explain my dev related ideas, progress and thoughts, but it's rare to get a reply Maybe I should settle with AI, I'm not looking for friendship or general convos, rather more technical discussions related to the context Not being able to explain/share how proud you are of your code sucks 9 comments
   @dansup This is one (of the very few) things I miss about going to "the office". I think it's possible to build new communities here but just like IRL communities take a long time to develop.    @dansup I know what it is. I've been running my own business for 4 years now ( @SkypLabs ) While it gives me almost infinite freedom (typically I'm currently on my way home from a 5-day bike trip abroad), I fully work alone from home or cafés. Sometimes I wish I could talk tech with someone on a regular basis, share ideas, and get feedback. AI is not an option for me. Besides being far from real human interactions, it has privacy issues, and consumes a sh** tone of energy.  @dansup I dig chatting about code and keep meaning to set up a local env to fiddle with pixelfed, what's the discord your speak of? |

Another idea is a Developer Group, that would be cool
And I hear Pixelfed is about to ship Groups 😎
