I began having difficulty finding people to discuss ideas and thoughts with. When I did find someone who I could brainstorm and bounce ideas off of it was a very surreal feeling. I loved every minute of it and did not want to stop. Even today I have very few of these conversations but cherish the people I can have these conversations with. I enjoy my ideas being challenged. I enjoy being challenged, period. My level of excitement in these conversations are off the hook.
I find that being part of the Hacker News conversation really does serve as a proxy for my need for interesting conversation, and I'm sure many of you will agree.
I can't count the number of days where I've had a boring work day but interesting HN day.
Is there a good online forum for these kinds of conversations? Or is it the sort of thing that really only works face-to-face... where you can read and respond to the other person's body language, etc.
