Where are developers hanging out online these days?
Tue, 2010-03-16, 09:17
Hi everyone,
I've noticed a big trend in the Java community (as a whole, not a specific group) that they tend to not be on the Internet in the droves that they used to be a few years ago. It is not uncommon to see Hibernate, Spring, etc. forums virtually dead, and most posts have only a handful of views over 7 days.
I'm curious - what has happened? Where are the developers? Are they using other technologies? Are they so stable nobody cares but they still use them? Is the industry so slow that there's a small % of us left?
Would appreciate some credible insight. Thanks!
Ken

I'd see that as: The products are more mature and there's more and higher quality documentation
I mean, why spend time waiting for a response if I can google the answer in 10 seconds?

Re: Where are developers hanging out online these days?
There's a lot of people on Stack Overflow, for whatever that is worth. But I suspect most of these people will be found on Clojure and Scala forums, on whatever new frameworks are up and about, etc. Or, rather, people _like_ them, as once you get a senior job position, marry and have kids, few people manage to keep up with these things.
