Lol, what? Wait a minute? "the notion that programmers have few online spots for conversing and exchanging tips and hints"?

Does anyone entertain such an absurd notion? If anyone has online spots to "talk about how to code, program and develop just any old application or tool", it must be programmers. From the ancient age of Usenet to the more modern era of StackOverflow and, dare I say it, Hacker News, programmers have always had many spots to connect with other programmers online.

So how did this story get 6 points?
