[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:
- Who are you and what do you work on?
- What repetitive task keeps tripping you?
- Which tools (if any) have you already tried?
- Where, exactly, are you stuck—budget, politics, skill?
- 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.
