Speaking of hard skills: how does one just hang out on a Discord server in any useful fashion? I lost the ability to deal with group chats when I started working full-time - there's no way I can focus on the job and keep track of conversations happening on some IRC or Discord. I wonder what the trick is to use those things as source of information, other than "be a teenager, student, or a sysadmin or otherwise someone with lots of spare time at work", which is what I realized communities I used to be part of consist of.

That's pretty much the trick.

Discord is so time inefficient, its almost hilarious. For every incredible conversation between experts you observe, you have to weed through 200 times as much filler.
