I guess that the IRC part of the recruitment is not very formal, I |
| 8 |
don't know as I haven't seen one, but in general I would expect that |
| 9 |
it is simply a lightweight substitute for going to the pub and having |
| 10 |
a chat in person, or talking on the phone to a friend. |

I further guess that if you would prefer a chat with someone over the |
| 13 |
phone then that could work just as well. |

That said, I find that IRC is a useful tool for developers sometimes. |

It's not mandatory by any means, and sometimes it's just a huge time |
| 17 |
sink, and a little bit like filing bugs it isn't mandatory, but it |
| 18 |
*can* be useful. |
