Anyone uses IRC? Why?

Learn ProgrammingEnglish • 6 months ago

I was exploring an obscure Linux distro when I noticed they’re contact page had an IRC client. You can connect to the IRC via Matrix, but the people there prefer pure IRC.

My question is do other programmers use IRC? Also why?

Discourse seems to have addressed a lot of that. But it seems wasted.space is valued with the bubble chat style interfaces I’m seeing a lot of.

Posting Etiquette

Ask the main part of your question in the title. This should be concise but informative.
Provide everything up front. Don’t make people fish for more details in the comments. Provide background information and examples.
Be present for follow up questions. Don’t ask for help and run away. Stick around to answer questions and provide more details.
Ask about the problem you’re trying to solve. Don’t focus too much on debugging your exact solution, as you may be going down the wrong path. Include as much information as you can about what you ultimately are trying to achieve. See more on this here: https://xyproblem.info/
