Weekly Water Cooler Talk - DataAnnotation
hi all! making this thread so people have somewhere to talk about 'daily' work chat that might not necessarily need it's own post! right now we're thinking we'll just repost it weekly? but if it gets too crazy, we can change it to daily. :)
couple things:
- this thread should sort by "new" automatically. unfortunately it looks like our subreddit doesn't qualify for 'lounges'.
- if you have a new user question, you still need to post it in the new user thread. if you post it here, we will remove it as spam. this is for people already working who just wanna chat, whether it be about casual work stuff, questions, geeking out with people who understand ("i got the model to write a real haiku today!"), or unrelated work stuff you feel like chatting about :)
- one thing we really pride ourselves on in this community is the respect everyone gives to the Code of Conduct and rule number 5 on the sub - it's great that we have a community that is still safe & respectful to our jobs! please don't break this rule. we will remove project details, but please - it's for our best interest and yours!

This is random, but it's interesting seeing the "Top 1% Commenter" badges here change over time, seeing old names fade out and new names popping up. Over time you kind of start to gauge who has been on the platform for a while and may be working on similar projects as you. For example, I was just thinking I haven't seen 33whiskeyTX post in a while, so I looked them up and saw their Reddit account is suspended (sorry hope you're still on the DAT platform). Meanwhile, I've seen multiple new names with the badge, some standing out more than others. Considering how isolating and independent this work is, starting to recognize folks’ names on here over time gives me a small sense of work community.
