Ask YC: Which IRC Channel(s) Do You Frequent?
I've enjoyed the discussions (via comments) at this site, and so I wonder if there are any IRC channels out there just as good?
- yan 18y ago#startups @ irc.freenode.net
- raffi 18y ago#startups @ irc.freenode.net although I discovered it yesterday. Haven't seen a conversation there yet but I'll give it time #jIRCii on EFnet (my IRC client, http://jircii.dashnine.org http://jircii.dashnine.org -- check it out) #unix on irc.gimp.org - tight community of Mac and Linux enthusiasts. Some of the smartest people I knew on IRC moved to SILC.
- dustineichler 18y ago#django on irc.freenode.net #genmay on '0id.net' #perl on efnet i'd second that, silc...
- comatose_kid 18y agoany place where iphone hackers hang out?
- jrockway 18y agoConsidering iPhone hackers are contractually obligated to not talk about their work, probably not.
- ashu 18y ago#iphone, irc.saurik.com
- xxmiaja 18y agohow do i get free games on my 3g iphone

- hypermatt 18y agosweet! finally a decent place
- stcredzero 18y agoHmm, isn't Twitter just the Web 2.0 version of IRC?
- avinashv 18y agoI wouldn't say so. It's too difficult to have a real-time conversation. I'd go crazy trying to work on a project with somebody via Twitter, especially if I had to DM everything that I wanted private.
- josefresco 18y agoTwitter clients like Twhirl don't make it any easier unfortunately. It just becomes a chore to sort and delete the static. Twitter needs a "temp-IM" feature. Or maybe something like email grouping (Gmail conversations etc.)
- axod 18y agoWhat problem does Twitter solve that IRC has? :/
- stcredzero 18y agoI've tended to log into IRC just to see what goes past. Much like I do when I've logged into Twitter.

- khafra 18y agoI can't IRC from my phone; even mibbit.com doesn't work right.
- axod 18y agoWhat model phone is it?
- DarkShikari 18y agoGiven my specialty, it might not be surprising I have the following open on Freenode: #x264dev #x264 #avisynth #ffmpeg #videolan #mplayer #ffmpeg-devel #mplayerdev #xvid I have gotten at least 2 or 3 consulting jobs just by hanging out in #ffmpeg and #x264.
- astrec 18y ago#django, #startups, #twitter @ freenode
- ovi256 18y agoIn alphabetical order: #af83 (my workplace), #turbulences (our framework), #django, #rails, #python. After seeing #startups in a comment, I might do that.
- axod 18y agoirc.freenode.net #startups,#javascript,#slicehost irc.mibbit.com #mibbit Also have to go in various networks help channels which can be an experience :/ #startups is a fun place to hang out definitely.
- icco 18y agoI've always been a big fan of Linux User Groups, as such I hang out online with the two that I've been the most active with #cplug and #nblug on irc.freenode.net. I also check out #ubuntu on occasion.
- sharjeel 18y ago#django, #python, #apache @ freenode It gets a little overwhelming if you join too many channels
- initself 18y ago#perl @ irc.freenode.net #daytraders @ chat.othernet.org
- mrtron 18y agoNow? #django #python #startups Back in the day? Quite a few more. IRC is actually where I started programming quite a bit back in the day. Bots, scripts, simple servers. I would like to think all that 'wasted' time has paid dividends.
- rbanffy 18y ago#django, #zope and #plone, mostly. Had some trips to #ubuntu, #ubuntu-laptop and so on because I want to buy a netbook and wanted opinions. People were not very friendly there. #startups seems a great idea. I will check.
- sdpurtill 18y agoused to hang out on #django on irc.freenode.net then we switched to php, no need for irc anymore
- mattdennewitz 18y ago#django, #mysql sometimes #slicehost on irc.freenode.net

- intellectronica 18y ago#launchapd #launchpad-meeting #ubuntu-meeting #ubuntu-quality #webpy
- wfarr 18y agoUh, #emacs, #tech.coop, #gsoc, #gnome-hackers, #conkeror.
- aparticularpath 18y agoInteresting... I don't spend any time in IRC Channels. I find them distracting. But it's cool that some people have gotten a job or two out of a Channel.
- wheels 18y agoThey're still a mainstay of open source projects. I remember when I first logged back into one circa 2000 and thought "Wait, people still use IRC?" Eight years later I'm still using Freenode; #startups is a nice extension of the news.YC community.
- felideon 18y ago#lisp, #emacs @ freenode
- deleted 18y ago[deleted]
- aggieben 18y agofreenode: ##c++, #csharp, #lisp, #linpeople #osdev used to be good, but trolls have made it a very inactive channel.
- ighost 18y ago#python, #ruby-lang, #ruby, #postgresql, #c, #php, #rubyonrails, and #haskell, all on freenode. If I used Django I'm sure I'd be in #django too.
- markbao 18y agoOn Freenode only, ##mac ##php #defocus #facebook #jquery #kohana #mysql #olympics08 #opensocial #ping.fm #randomshapes #startups
