At Big Nerd Ranch, we often times use campfire for chat. We’ve integrated the awesome hubot but with our own little twist.
We also love the command line and irc. To some this end, a few nerds use weechat. And we also love to recognize greatness, whether it be wit, helping another nerd, a hilarious gif or any other general silliness that we enjoy.
Mix all this together and an enterprising nerd might find a need to quickly bestow karma from within weechat.
