No, but I did introduce a colleague to the CodeProject. He is a bit of a electronics hack and is always busy fettling. When the CodeProject was running the Hardware competition I suggested he writes an article and submit it. Off he went, joined the Codeproject, wrote the article, submitted it and won the 1st Place prize of a robotics kit. Which he kindly gave to me for the kids. He won with this article; Radio Control Transmitter - Joystick[^]

The answer has to be YES, unless all the CP owners/employees never did anything before they start work for CP! :-D

As hard as it might be to believe, I rarely meet anyone (programmers) locally that even knows about Codeproject.

Both at my last job and here, I have found CP members. They don't know for sure who I am though. :suss:
Panic, Chaos, Destruction. My work here is done. Drink. Get drunk. Fall over - P O'H OK, I will win to day or my name isn't Ethel Crudacre! - DD Ethel Crudacre I cannot live by bread alone. Bacon and ketchup are needed as well. - Trollslayer Have a bit more patience with newbies. Of course some of them act dumb - they're often *students*, for heaven's sake - Terry Pratchett

I think your concern about multiple personalities is valid: the 8,000,000+ members are actually from about 80 households. :)

I was on a previous assignment for eight months before realizing I was about two hundred feet from another member. On my current assignment, I hung my 2010 MVP certificate in my cubicle and one person (my supervisor) pointed at it and gave me a thumbs up. :thumbsup:

One day a workmate suggested me
CodeProjectas useful source of programming info. I said enthusiastically: "Oh, yes, I know it. I've written a couple of articles". He didn't mention CP again, I don't know why.Veni, vidi, vici.
Did you hijack his thread(s)? :-D

I have never met anyone who knows CP. The only other French CPian I know on CP is toxcct, but I am not sure he is still here. So the probability is really low.
