Could you post an example challenge? Would these be technical or managerial?

  Technical, as I believe more resources exist on the managerial side, but for questions that aren't easily searchable (as obviously those are easily solved on their own). Example: I'm planning for how our company's API design will evolve long term. I might want to connect with others who have done this and ask what their approach was. Did they evolve from what they have or build from the ground up or use a domain driven design from first principles? Did they organize the APIs around team ownership? Is there tooling that proved particularly helpful in a migration? In short, I suppose it's boils down to having a group of people that you can ask "I'm tackling X problem, has anyone else done it before? What was your approach?" and hear their stories, warnings, gotchas, or recommendations. Another reason is just to generally participate in discussions around current trends and problems that are being worked on. I feel like there's a lot of good content out there (blogs, podcasts, white papers) that I'm just missing due to lack of visibility.

    I was just planning to start exactly this, once I have a big enough audience at https://sudhir.io https://sudhir.io - would you expect this to be paid and moderated, though? Would $25 per month be reasonable if I restricted it to senior level members and discussions?

      I personally would not pay for the "privilege" of such a service as it just feels forced. Part of the goal is to build a network or friends rather than simply gain responses to questions

        Yeah, it would be pretty snobbish / country club-ish. Think it might make more sense to keep it free and open to anyone, moderate out off topic or unsuitable discussions, and maybe charge for an associated job board.
