Ask HN: Hi developers Where do you go to discuss stuff?

2 points by wattengard 12y ago ↗ HN

So, I'm a developer and I use Stack Overflow and the other Stack Exchange sites frequently. But some times I actually want to discuss something, I want subjective answers (on development).<p>Where do you all go to discuss development? What are the best developer _forums_ out there? Both polyglot and language/framework specific?

IRC. Many people chat on the programming related channels on Freenode.

This is true... However as a ~20year IRC alumni, my experience with developer-channels on IRC are a bit ho-hum. The specific channels on freenode related to specific libraries or applications are fine. But just general programming chat has a tendency to just blow up in troutslaps and other cabbage...
