As a software engineer and someone who’s been into that shit from a young age, it’s such a nice change. Reminds me of some of the old BBS forums from the 90s. The positive and welcoming atmosphere is such an improvement compared to a lot of the analogous Reddit subs.
Creating positive environments for more junior people to gain expertise in is one of the things I’ve become somewhat passionate about over the course of my career, and it’s great to see the space we have here being exactly that much of the time.
