Ask HN: Quick question about your professional relationships

Just want to get hackers, makers and operators opinion on this.

- Are you maintaining your professional relationships? Why?

- How hard is it to maintain your professional relationships?

I maintain them for 1) job opportunities in the future 2) Professional learning by discussing best practices or challenges they overcame

I don't have that large of a network so it's pretty easy to manage my relationships. Mainly text and misc messaging apps
