Hello, everyone.

As a new member of this community, I would like to get to know some of you. I researched 11 different online groups dedicated to serving those who develop software. This is the one I chose to join. I looked at Hashnode, Hacker News, Stack Overflow, and Reddit to name a few. While these communities can be a great resource in different ways, CodeProject looks to be the best choice. That explains why I am here, but I'm curious to know who you are, and why you choose to be here. What compels you to be a member of this community?

Hi Steve! I'm known here as OriginalGriff or OG, because my real world name and all the variants I could think of were taken when I registered. I found this place when looking for help with a problem I had in the early days of learning C# / .NET and got involved with a few discussions. I stayed because they were a friendly bunch (with little or none of the elitism that plagues SO) and many members know what they are talking about. It's popularly believed here that I'm a gestalt mind spread over several bodies, but in practice I learned to type a long time ago and got quite good at it which looks like the same thing to the casual viewer. :-D Welcome aboard - feel free to spit on the mat, but don't call the cat a b*****d - he's sensitive about that. And has an account here ... :~

Welcome! :D I registered many years ago because I was starting out in software development (VB.NET and WinForms at the time) and needed some help. Google pointed me to an article here on CP and the author, who unfortunately passed away since, was very helpful. It even inspired me to write some articles myself! These days I mostly stick around in the lounge and my contributions to this site have deteriorated to bad jokes and anecdotes :laugh:

For most of my career, I worked in a proprietary language and a proprietary operating system. I joined this site when I needed to figure out how to implement techniques used in our products, but in C++ on commercially available operating systems. Various articles here were useful in that regard. But I only became active on the site a few years ago, once I actually started to write articles.

I don't remember how I stumbled into CP (Yes, I am very clumsy). But it is the best thing I have done in the last couple of decades. Almost everyone here is friendly and very helpful. But watch out for the bad puns they are real groaners. I check the News, highly recommended, and the lounge every morning. Glad you are here; you found the best of the best. Except me maybe. :)
It's a random chance universe and we are all just riding waves of probability.

Well, there used to be a saying: "no one wants to live to be 90. Until they are 89" That is me. Hitting the big 90 in April. Alas, most of my so-called programming has now sunken to Python scripts. Hardware programming is now to a macro pad. :sigh:

Welcome! I don't want to universalize my experience, but I enjoy technical writing and coding both. This site rewards that. Just won another 1st place, and they ship you swag if you can believe it. It's a huge draw for me, not gonna lie. As far as who I am, I'm a just a lil C++ coder, though I dabble in C# too. I mostly do embedded and IoT both professionally and as a hobby. Also I like the community here. The drama is few and far between, and people are helpful. Discussions here are often interesting. Also the dad jokes.

I hope you're not accusing me of that? :~ I bash my head against the keyboard until it compiles.

Welcome! as you probably noticed most of us here are using Microsoft tools, including myself. But I'm proud that I'm not only using the Microsoft toolchain, but also using other products like PostgreSQL, TeamCity, Gitea, Inno Setup etc. So I'm curious what your favourites are, hope to hear more from you! :-\

Welcome! :-D I am curious to hear the criteria by which you judged Code Project in the context of 10 other online groups? Was it because we're the only one with an alien (Bob) as our mascot?
The difficult we do right away... ...the impossible takes slightly longer.

Welcome Steve! I joined almost 20 years ago. I asked a colleague if he knew of a C++ DB interface library for a project I was working on. He said to check CP. I did and found an article with code that fit my needs to a T. I've been here ever since, though mostly as a lurker. I got a little more involved when I retired 5 years ago. The main draw for me was (and still is) the open, friendly atmosphere. When a question is asked the answers (and those who choose to answer) are trying to help and not just impress with their superiorority. So, stick around for a while, join in, have some fun. Beer's in the fridge!

Welcome Steve. I joined CP back then when writing my tesis. I like the site and was very active. Then I had a break while working in a company that got me traveling A LOT and came back to when I settled a bit. I like the site, I like the atmosphere and I learn something new almost every day I stay here for a while. About who I am... you might have a look to my profile (or any other ones here), so I am not going to repeat it :)
M.D.V. ;) If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about? Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.
