Libera Chat

I'd say IRC still using it since the 90s from Blender, the times where Php was hot, Javascript, nowadays mostly Rust and Bash. Of course I have no idea how old other people are, but considering the "nicknames" I see online for more then a decade or two, its very likely that some people are about my age if not more. Check https://libera.chat/ I have to confess that I've been more conscious about my age, for the first time ever. I am 40 years old and a couple weeks ago, during a bank holiday in the UK, sunny and nice, took my skateboard to attempt a board slide in a grind rail on a ramp angled down. My first few attempts were almost there, I was tired and thirsty but decided to give it another go and injured my knee (not yet clear what it is), but I'm a bit worried that it might be serious and that this might have been the last big trick attempt on my skateboard. I've also started Muay Thai about a year ago and was planning to fight in the next few months. Some of my colleagues at work are as young as 17 and the oldest about 31 :D I've seen the internet in the early days. Feel like I'm more knowledgable but only when hot in a certain topic, which might be anything during a certain period or project duration. But think it always been like that. In case of looking for work, usually take some time to study the stack of the company but this takes a lot of effort and time and people seem to not have empathy and find that most are time wasters. I've never been the kind of person who goes to conferences or looks for code buddies and stuff, but get some contacts occasionally through my website https://punkbit.com or github account <a href="https://github.com/heldrida">https://github.com/heldrida</a> To summarise, you can be on IRC and forget about your age :).
