Every time I meet someone on CS it's like I've known them for a long time. People are generally very open minded and easy to get along with. Sharing with other humans is a natural tendency that people have since tribal times when we had to support one another in order to survive. We can use this platform to recondition that tendency, since there can be positive outcomes from interaction and collaboration!
