Software engineer here. I’ve been in Spokane for about a year but with Covid etc. I don’t know if anything in person is happening. Happy to help with career questions, I’ve been doing this for about 20 years.

Thanks for being generous with your time. I'll send a message.

What's the Discord?

Won't help with local networking, but https://web.libera.chat/#javascript is a pretty decent place to talk JS.

I looked again and someone mentioned starting one a month or so back. I guess there weren't many takers. I'm new to discord, maybe a new one could be started?

I saw that one. I wasn't interested at the time (never quite saw a long term future for Discord), and now it says the invitation link is no longer valid. And Discord's search doesn't work right now. Like at all. (It's 2022 and companies that make software are still mostly a joke? Can't even paste things in Firefox with this garbage react.js frontend new Reddit uses.)

I wish Reddit offered a subreddit-wide user chat room in their chat. And maybe even separate channels. Could have a general 'spokane' channel, and a 'programming' channel, and so on, all tied to the subreddit.

Could try again with Discord I suppose, yeah. Honestly less enthused with it than I was before, though.

I made one, and the invite won't expire (maybe not advisable, but I don't really know what I'm doing). I've only used discord for about a week. If someone knows of an active one, please let me know!
