This shift towards social hubs is fascinating, but it makes me wonder about the core product. How do these stores ensure that the comics themselves don't become secondary to the event atmosphere? Seeing my local shop add more tables for gaming nights, I worry if new readers are still picking up actual books or just showing up for the social vibe. The community aspect is vital, but comics are a medium that thrives on storytelling, not just gatherings. If stores become too focused on events, could we lose the specialized knowledge that longtime staff provide about the comics? What's the balance between creating a welcoming space and maintaining the niche expertise that made these shops unique in the first place?

Did you see that old blog post from a Google engineer about how spaces lead to more consistent rendering across editors? I remember reading that and it stuck with me because it made so much sense. It's insane how such a small detail can cause big fights, but when you're collaborating, consistency is key. Your point about establishing standards early is spot on. Without them, you're just asking for merge conflicts and hurt feelings. I've been on teams where this wasn't decided, and we wasted hours debating instead of coding. Now I always push for spaces in my projects, but I make sure it's agreed upon from day one.
