Telegram seems to be saying all the right things and the nice 
things. (They all do, but things will change if venture capital 
gets into the picture.) It remains to be seen whether it will gain 
traction.

But it's yet another discussion group platform that whose feature 
set says 'more engagement'.

Fellow coders, be aware of how you do productive work. It's like 
the age-old clash of cultures: closed-door rooms or cubicles in 
open office settings. How do you code productively? If you need 
extended time to focus without distractions, then all of these 
social messaging apps or groups will be bad for you.

Remember, not everything is good for everybody. This will be great 
for some people but some others who attempt to emulate this kind 
of work-style may find their productivity significantly impaired.

IMHO we should not expect such 'engaged' or attention demanding 
discussion groups to take off like a rocket and have devs flock to 
them en masse. Some of us may be actively avoiding such things, 
for good reasons.
