RandomCoffee
Meet random people from your organization for a coffee with macarons or for a quick video call. ย Get to know your colleagues better and maybe even make new (work) friends.
๐ง Quick and Easy
Just add the Macarons app to a Slack channel and it will automatically pair off random members for (virtual) coffees.
๐ฐ Control the Odds
For each channel you can control how often and when chat lotteries happen, as well as how many people should be matched together.
๐ง Ice Breakers
Let Macarons get conversations started with predefined ice breakers or set your own custom topics for each round.
๐ Take a skip day
Independent of a channels meeting interval, each user can always individually pause their participation or decide to only take part every other time.
DEV.to MacaronsAs a mini-blog, it is a nice alternative for Medium to publish and share information about programming.
However, the community and the organization are biased toward social justice (and they are open to it). You can read its Code of Conduct, it is so vague and politically leads (I prefer a term of service because it defines fair rules for everybody). So it alienates developers that we don't care about politics in pro of people that want to talk about any other topic such as sexuality, how women are unprivileged, and such. It even mandates to use inclusive language. Good grief.
My main complaint is the quality of the community. It is not StackOverflow (so we don't want to ask for an answer here), and most of the top topics are clickbait, such as "how to become a rockstar developer in ... days", "100 tips to become a better programmer" (and it doesn't even talk about programming).
Technically this "mini blog" site allows us to use markdown, and it is okay. However, the whole experience is really basic. Even the template is ugly.

In part 1 I made the pitch: real-time UI in one language, no JavaScript build. Now let's build something and ship it two ways from the same source. - Source: dev.to / 3 days ago

To think that all of this happens under the hood when Iโm just trying to access YouTube to listen to my favorite music playlists to go through the day is insane! It all happens so quicklyโฆ to think that all eleven of these steps occur instantly when I was first entering a website like https://dev.to, for instance, is mind-blowing. - Source: dev.to / 8 days ago
And keep an exit. This is the argument I made about small models from a different angle: the same task that costs $14,000/month at frontier scale often costs approximately nothing on a 4B model running on your own hardware. Not for everything - for the long tail of focused, repetitive work that makes up most of what we actually automate. Knowing which of your workflows would survive a 10x price increase is cheap... - Source: dev.to / 12 days ago

It took us a few months (I think it was 4) but now we released Macarons. After adding Macarons to the workspace you have to invite it to a channel and then can configure how often people of that channel are matched. Additionally you can specify how big the match groups should be and everyone participating can adjust their participation rate. That's basically it. Since Macarons is not over-boarded with features we... Source: about 4 years ago
