Why do I ask?
I remember 15 years ago, say 2004, technical sites weren't commercial. Except Experts Exchange ofcourse.
Nowadays I can't trust opinions of people because I fear they are selling me something. Framework authors are only building frameworks on the side, their real business is building a hosted service for whatever they are building.
Nothing wrong with that.
I just miss a simpler time. And want a slice of that again.
I don't imagine that information will be shared here in an open forum.
I'm referring to nerds, geeks, engineers, tickerers etc. who do it for the love of doing it. Not for building a commercial operation.

Clarification - I don't mean "hackers" as depicted in the movies. I'm referring to nerds, geeks, engineers, tickerers etc. who do it for the love of doing it. Not for building a commercial operation.

in the walled gardens of the r&d department of big corporates
mostly (and still) on the un-encrypted IRC :D
No one seems to be chatting about anything, the only messages I see are logging people joining and leaving. One time I left an irc client open for hours and i finally saw some other human asked a question. After that , more nothing, I don't think anyone replied to them. These servers often show 100s or 1000s online too!
Am I doing something wrong, or am I missing something I need to use irc?
