Before it went private I popped in and saw a thread where they were debating and coordinating what to do b/c they apparently had big issues today with bots and so many messages. Earlier I saw a few comments about downvoting bots all day.
They were debating whether it would be worthwhile and feasible to limit posting to people who had commented in the reddit 6 months prior as a filter.
I'm curious what people here think about building projects in remote teams as a strategy for learning software developer skills? Could also apply to other related roles like UX/UI designers, product owners, etc.
Specifically, after a certain base skill level has been reached. Also, these teams would include deadlines, navigating git/github, time management, communicating with others, etc.
Full-disclosure: I'm a part of a community / startup that organizes such teams for learners. I don't want to be spammy so will refrain from saying the name. It actually grew out of a MOOC forum to help with some of the issues mentioned in OP's article. It ran for about 3 years free as a time-intensive side project, but switched to paid to reduce another common MOOC issue (ghosting).
