Discord server suggestions- Grapevine

Welcome to Software Engineers's Private Community

Have tried a few apps but there’s too much clutter. 
- Discord: Too many channels, unorganized & cluttered
- Reddit: Used it long time back but not so good for productive discussions
- Twitter: Frontend folks discussing same stuff over and over.
- Slack: Haven’t tried yet. Do have have public communities there?
- LinkedIn: Not interested in illusions created by fancy tech jargons to outscore other professionals.
- Grapevine: Not ideal for my use-case.

Is there any genuine app you know that can enable me to discuss tech stuff in software engineering?

Suggest me a community app to discuss software tech stuff.

Enlighten me with some productive use cases that will convince me to use the discord app.

PS: I haven’t used discord since the time I have installed it on my mobile.

What are some use cases for which you use discord?

Here everyone talks about job and salary. Though there isn't any meaningful useworthy discussions other than office gossip, salary etc. the engagement is good. Any apps which are exclusive for startup founders and enthusiasts?

Opinion on professional social media startups

Mechanical Engineer

Welcome to Product Managers's Private Community

Background: have spent close to 3 years in product, I’m planning to switch. 

Last time I followed some yt videos, and a book called Product management interview by Lewis C Lin

Let me know what else should i do? Any good discord server/sites? I’m fine with both paid and free resources.

I'm about to start my prod interview prep

I'm a final year industrial design student and throughout the course, we've been trained to conduct user research in effective ways, come up with new products (physical or digital) and also advertise the product. I'd say, we've been trained more on how to be a successful entrepreneur than a designer.
However, now that there's a brief idea about what we have learnt, the biggest hurdle that is extremely common in our field, is a lack of skillset required for entrepreneurship in today's world. We have come up with ideas for multiple startups throughout the span of 3-4 years. We're a group of 3 designers, 2 of us who are industrial designers, we usually do all the brainstorming and define the direction of the entire startup. The other guy is a UI/UX designer, who helps us come out with the most effective interface and build a semi working prototype on softwares like Figma. 
But it always just stops there. We, being designers, we learn multiple softwares that cater specifically to design. But when it comes to this, none of us know how to code and actually bring it to life. That's the biggest challenge we're facing right now, because we know we need to find a developer, but we don't know how to and where to approach any of them. This has been going on for over a year. 
It would really be appreciated if anyone could suggest platforms that help us connect to like minded developers and are willing to take part in building a startup from scratch rather than just interning or working for one.

WhatsApp groups for Founders or Product Managers

I've 3 yoe, currently working in a very small startup as full-stack dev. Company's revenue is declining from Q4 last year.

Every month layoffs are happening in each team. Last week, a dev was laid off from my team.

No hike till now, working here from last 1.5 years. Although, got performance bonus twice.

I want to work on a few ideas, tried to work on weekends but it led to burn out and started affecting my health, suffered from mental fatigue.

Please suggest.

Work on own startup vs switch to another startup

Hey folks, 

Today we have 21 communities on Grapevine. SWE, PM, Salary Discussion, Office Gossip, Indian Startups, Bangalore being some of the most active ones. 

What are some other communities/use cases that we should create? 

Please do chime in with suggestions :)

What new communities on Grapevine do you want?

Having worked in IT as a developer and other tech roles, I am having a feeling of how long I am going to do the same and keep grinding myself for someone else’s businesses to grow.

I personally feel from childhood I would enjoy and love to do something of my own but I am so confused and have not much idea on what to start and from where to start.

Feels stuck somewhere and actually I am doing nothing.

Any suggestions?

Wish to start something of my own
