Note that you need a Stack Exchange account with 20 reputation to participate. Not that hard, but personally I'd prefer IRC!

Sounds great! Does something like that exist?

There's plenty of dev channels here and there, or run a #letshacktoday channel (or something) and post it up in SO and here.

I have reputation < 20 so I get "Welcome to The Stack Exchange Network chat! You'll need 20 reputation to talk here"...

What's up with Stack Exchange's crazy password requirements? No repeating characters?

Good idea, but maybe we can move this to an IRC Channel and promote it on Reddit and other websites to get more attention.

This is the opposite of what I expected from the title. (It's perfectly consistent with the title, of course; I ran with the wrong interpretation.) Different strokes for different folks, I guess. My personal feelings about this are:

1) I'm still alone

2) I now have a new distraction from hacking

I prefer to go to a coffee shop and sit in silent solidarity with a bunch of other people who are trying to concentrate and get something done. (Even if they're just posting status updates to Facebook, they look serious, and I can pretend they are are working hard.)
