[WELCOME/AMA] The Dinner-Party Rule

Communities on the internet behave a lot like dinner parties in real life.
The first thing guests notice isn’t the silverware or the playlist; it’s whether the host notices them. So before we get clever with AI, let’s do the one thing software can’t: greet each other.

Introduce yourself by answering five simple questions:

  1. Who are you and what do you work on?
  2. What repetitive task keeps tripping you?
  3. Which tools (if any) have you already tried?
  4. Where, exactly, are you stuck—budget, politics, skill?
  5. What’s one thing you wish someone here would solve?

I’ll reply to every post. If you see a question you can help with, jump in. Great dinner parties run themselves once the first conversations start.

Your turn: set down your coat, say hello, and tell us what hurts.
