The people who make up this community share a wide range of technical-related knowledge and experience in networking, databases, IT, software, security, programming, DevOps, site reliability engineering, infrastructure, systems administration, and much more. We have people here who are freelancers, entrepreneurs, and those who are employed at small companies to large companies such as Google, Facebook, Hashicorp, and Uber. We like to think that the people who work in these roles "keep the lights on". With a community, we are able to share the knowledge with others who have a desire to learn about their specific technical interests or even wanting that next fix to the project they are working on. If you have a passion for technology, this is the place to be. At DSI, our goal is to be the place with a wide range of technical-related topics and to share them with the world. Rather than just learning something and keeping it to yourself, DSI is the place to not only share it but to learn it. We strive to make people successful and to live their dream. We do that by providing information.6K members

.Developers
on discord
We are .developers, a discord community formed mainly around programming with the purpose of bringing like-minded people together. Before you decide if we are your cup of tea, let me tell you a little bit about us: We had 4 meetings in different parts of Europe since the server had launched almost 4 years ago! We mostly hang out in #general chat, where we talk about life, its good and bad aspects. Some of us have been here for so long we know a little bit too much about each other! We have dedicated channels for the most used programming languages where you can bring your code and we can discuss, debug or improve it! If you are a newcomer to the field and need some help, or someone with experience looking to meet like-minded people and discuss tech, why not give it a try!4K members
