Hello friends,

Unfortunately none of my friends (or even my coworkers, surprisingly) share my passion for programming.

I am looking for a tightly knit online community where I can make friends with other nerds who are enthusiastic about programming (i.e. It’s not just a job for them).

I do highly prefer that the community is welcoming and not toxic.

Topics I’m interested in: programming theory, comp sci, devops, self hosting, system design, Linux, functional programming, OOP, etc.
