Thanks so much!
Thanks Ben!!!
Thanks Ben!
Thanks Bekah for sharing! Virtual Coffee is and always has been important to me based on my experience so far! People have been really supportive and I always join the co-working room to meet @codingwithjiro, @javz, @konark_13, and recently @itsugo (All of them initially on DEV and came to Virtual Coffee)!!! (Now waiting on Richard Pascoe to join Virtual Coffee!)
I would definitely recommend Virtual Coffee as an addition to DEV! More support doesn't hurt!!!
If anyone would like to donate to Virtual Coffee (even a small amount), it is really appreciated! Once I get a stable position, I would plan on donating! :D
I am relatively new to Virtual Coffee (I think I'm a member for about 3-4 weeks now). But if there is one thing to say about this group is that they are truly welcoming. It increased my confidence in communicating with people who has a much higher experience than I am. I get to learn how they think and the topics that interests them. Opinions and insights that you can never get easily elsewhere especially when just starting out.
So for anyone new, you can join us or tell your dev friends about Virtual Coffee. In the world of AI, developers deserve a break and a real human to talk to once in a while. I even did a couple of collaborative works on the side and even joined The DEVengers tech writing group.
Surrounding yourself with better software engineers inspires you to also be one. Virtual Coffee does that and I'm sure this wonderful group will help you too.
Thanks for sharing Elmar and glad you join Virtual Coffee! It was fun working with you and got insights from your point of view of the developer world! Keep it up! :D
This sounds like such a special community! 🌸 I'm pretty new to DEV myself, but reading this makes me really appreciate how much work goes on behind the scenes to keep spaces like this free and welcoming for everyone.
Wishing you all the best in reaching the goal—communities like this make such a difference, especially for people who are learning, job hunting, or just need a place to feel less alone in this industry. Thank you for everything you do! 🙏
I joined Virtual Coffee recently and instantly felt welcome. The community is very inclusive and supportive.
As @francistrdev mentioned, VC has enabled some members here on DEV to join co-working rooms and collaborate on writing projects.
I would recommend VC for anyone looking for an extra community in addition to DEV!
volunteer-led communities are hard to sustain because the ask is usually "help us" rather than "do this specific thing." the teams that stick around longest usually have one very specific high-leverage task that newcomers can own. worth thinking about what that is for VC.
Thanks for reminding me.
