Do you mean you read a book and then asked people when you got stuck?

- _sdegutis 9y agoIn my experience yeah. And even still in the past decade. People on IRC want to sharpen their chops and keep their skills fresh, and if you’re respectful and doing most of the learning in your own, they’ll usually be glad to give feedback or suggestions, or even help you understand difficult topics. It’s mutually beneficial to all involved, even lurkers can benefit a lot from it. Hugely underrated resource. I’m not sure if the same culture is there in slack though, but plenty of people still use IRC to socialize and learn and teach.
