I'm usually on the documenting side of things. If something like this starts unfolding, I produce text or HTML files anyway, they go on github/lab/whatever, and I wash my hands of what happens next.

In the end I write documentation mostly for myself. When the company can't figure things out over Discord or whatever ephemeral chat interface they use, I get called anyway.

The only real alternatives to Discord is Matrix and Revolt. I am on both and there are a good number of people on there but they aren't too active. Wish they would be more popular and widely used

Also, putting documentation in a format that has way too many features so just reading docs takes up 40% of CPU usage. Yes ,fuck you for using gitbook, i hate it so fucking much

I don't think GitHub is social enough or the right tool to address bugs, talk about issues, or completely missing - ask for expertise. It's not even democratic enough and done in such a way that makes what to work on clear at times.

Some code is still more art than work or science but still there is a notion that maybe if there was a better tool than GitHub there would be no need for a discord.
