Coding Community

are any of you guys/gals part of another coding community besides /prog/ ? www.rohitab.com/discuss is where i'm at.

malicious software is for losers, winners stay away from drugs

also, this is the best one

i've tried others but fact is that programmers and geeks often have huge egos

shiichan type boards, wakaba, kareha, whatever they're all called, basically anonymous boards are better for this sort of thing

first of all not everyone can ask perfect questions or present valid arguments all the time, we all make mistakes, /prog/ makes people less afraid of this because if you had a registered username those past mistakes would haunt you forever at the community of your choice

months later, even if you do a good job, people will judge your post and your opinions based on your character, your reputation, i strongly believe that this influences their replies and how they behave towards you, if they treat you as a n00b from the get go or if they try to pay attention

here this is not an issue

SECOND, the trolls come with the territory, not only is this 4chan (aka troll central) but this is also an anonymous board, the trick is to see through the trolling bullshit, which i have no problem doing since i just ignore it

once you do that you will see that you actually get valid replies here, you get replies from expert programmers and real help, at least i have whenever i've asked a serious question about programming

and this is my motivation for loving /prog/@4chan
