Historically I’ve been a Unix/Linux/VMware sysadmin, though I’ve moved into a professional services role doing automation/orchestration/config-management.
There’s a lot of good IT/Development technical channels on IRC, especially on libera.chat and oftc.net, since freenode went down the drain.

Are you me?
Honestly, your nick is familiar, so I’d only rejoice to hear you were in the 07974 for Unix during such exciting times (Random love, shadow legal, blue November etc).
They’re dead as social media; all anyone uses them for is piracy these days and not to, you know… Talk to people.
I think IRC could be made more appealing pretty easily though. Just make a client for it with a slick UI and features like Discord has (like voice and video chat, not simply text), and then allow any Nitro-like shit for free.
I don’t think irc and usenet is dead. It’s still used a lot for piracy.
I think it comes to down to the definition of “dead”. Both are certainly dead for the reasons they were created.
Either you die a hero…
I still use irc every day for legitimate work/technical support purposes.
what kinda product do you work on?
