Ask HN: Any recommended engineering/dev related Slack channels?

3 pointsKuraptka23h ago2 comments

I’m looking for a general developer community. But it would also be nice to have conversations related to non-engineering stuff like leadership, communication, how to look for a job, salary discussions, etc. a lot of communities I’ve found tend to focus more on open source development, and less on the non-engineering aspects of being a developer.

Does anyone have any recommended Slack or Discord channels that fit that bill?

Definitely would recommend the Rands Slack channel though only catch is you need to be in some sort of engineering leadership role (not sure if the criteria changed though). But I’m sure if you ask nicely, they’ll let you in. Lots of channels related to career advice there

Also would recommend just going through this huge list of tech companies that use Slack to see if any of them fits you: https://bloomberry.com/data/slack/

+1 for Rands Leadership Slack, it's a great community. While the general slant and audience are eng leadership heavy, there are definitely non-engineer and non-management folks there.
