> Network directly with engineers where they spend time online

Where would that be? I wouldn't recommend HN for networking purposes.

Forums and chat rooms related to technologies you have experience with, want to learn. Slack and Discord have quite a few.

Some like to complain about projects using Slack or Discord because they’re not open and can’t be archived publicly but really who is pulling value from old IRC logs today? Nostalgic lizard brain is all that is.

When projects use Slack or Discord (or, for that matter, IRC) as their primary support channel it becomes a lot more painful to search online for solutions to problems.

Discourse on Blind makes HN look like the Athenian Assembly.

Agreed. Still beats vapid LinkedIn feed.

Yes. I have to ruthlessly prune anyone who reposts chaff... which is sadly a non-trivial number of individuals.
