You're probably in 500 different slack and discord chats already, of varying levels of value and interest to you. The challenge with public groups where anyone can join is that over time they get flooded with noobie questions.
What you want is a place where you can go to talk with trusted peers about problems you are facing right now, which Google can't solve for you.
That's what MageChat is all about.
Get feedback on how to best architect solutions from seasoned professionals
Hang out in an internet watercooler that you will actually enjoy
Weekly Live Sessions where we crack a beer, demo cool new stuff, and hear tech talks.
Join accountability groups for everything from certification to personal fitness and mental health
Don't feel so isolated. We all feel a little more isolated these days with remote work.
Network with other nerds. Networking can be a little hard for us nerds, but it can be super valuable and enjoyable.
The privacy of things shared in MageChat is very important. There are things you can discuss in a trusted, private context for example if you're having a beer with a friend, that you would not share publicly, for obvious reasons.
There are tons of great public groups and forums out there. This is not that.
This is an attempt to carefully scale the having-a-beer-with-a-coworker or chatting-with-a-colleague-in-the-hallway-track-at-a-conference conversation.
"As someone who has worked remotely for over 10 years, I find that I miss the day-to-day interaction of office life. MageChat gives me a bit of a social boost, while providing a place to ask questions about topics that I normally would ask a colleague about"

"This community keeps me updated on the platform sweet and bitter details, in touch with great minds willing to share tips and tricks."
Laura Trejo Alba
Solutions Architect
With MageChat I've been able to connect with lots of new and veteran members of the Magento community that would have been difficult to do via other channels. From the funny jokes and banters to the conversations and weekly presentations, MageChat has become invaluable and beneficial as full-time freelancer.
Jerry Lopez
Magento Certified Web Developer
"For the last 8+ years, I have struggled to find a place to stay connected with the Magento community. Just when it had only become more difficult to achieve that, we have got MageChat, the need of the time. If like me, you don't want to wait for the big events to happen before you get a chance to say hello to your community friends, MageChat is for you!"
Idrees Butt
Founder & CEO, RLTSquare
"You're in the company of extremely talented, naturally curious individuals. Conversations form around technical (or business) challenges. And as the conversation flows, it naturally involves solutions, or access to people with impeccable credentials that know the solution, or can help you develop it"
Winston Nolan
Previously Tech Lead for Rip Curl
