Hello, everyone.

When it comes to the grand scheme of things, I haven't a clue how the universe works. I've done many faceplants onto keyboards in my time. I don't know if these faceplants did anything good for me, but maybe if I took the time to repeatedly bash my head into my keyboard it would eventually pay off. When you bash your head onto the keyboard, is it the keyboard that eventually complies, or is it your head? For me, it's usually my head that doesn't comply. I'll take your advice, and find out for myself. You might be on to something.
It's the computer, or rather the code. I wrote "compiles" rather than "complies" :-D

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.

I don't know what that means ...but I assume it's a good thing? Either way thank you for the warm welcome, Mike.
I lived in Kentucky for many years in the 70-80s and there was an old general store and in the back there was an old wood stove where you could go and get a drink, coffee or soda and a homemade sandwich and the old men would say grab a chair and sit a spell. You'd sit down and listen to the old timers tell fascinating stories on every subject you could think of. It was a simple time.

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.

Going on 75 in a few months, I believe I have you there :-D

Why you're just a whipper-snapper. Back in my day, I entertained myself using rocks and sticks. Now we have the newly-fangled supercomputers that we hold in one hand. I find them to be irritating, but before electricity was discovered, I had to drag around a large wooden abacus. Those were the good ol' days. I even remember being in a car one day, and we ran over a dinosaur!

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.
Do you guys really have aliens on here? This changes the game! If had known that you have an alien for a mascot, I would have signed up immediately. Forget the other online groups! This one has an alien! I bet he's got one of those big heads like you see in the movies. I bet he even has his own spaceship. This place must be good if aliens from billions of miles away leave their home planet to become part of CP.

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.

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! :-\
Thank you, it's good to be here, Rick. I often find that developing w/ Microsoft tools is efficient. That's not to say that I dislike open-source software, but I'm more familiar with Microsoft in large part. As for my favorites? I like using Visual Studio for most of my work. Since I'm in multimedia, tools made by Adobe and Autodesk are things I use on a regular basis. I even use Notepad for writing scripts. I like it because it's simple.

Hey, welcome from the oldest guy around. Great place this.
>64 Some days the dragon wins. Suck it up.
I don't know. I'm actually pretty old. You know what I spent doing this Friday night? I organized my internet bookmarks. I remember back in ancient times, the best access to the internet required a 28.8 b/s phone modem. It was only the elite people with great privilege who owned the coveted 55 b/s phone modems. You could download an animated GIF in under an hour! You could download a song in just a single day. Nowadays, we have more bandwidth than we could possibly ever imagine, but we only use it to look at cat photos. What would we do without the internet?

And harassing witches! :~

When it comes to harassing witches, Monty Python comes to mind for some reason. I'm thinking of a scene in The Holy Grail where a group of people resorted to nonsense in an effort to justify themselves that she was actually a witch. That movie is so funny.

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.

Hi Steve, I encountered CodeProject over 21 years ago searching for something, can't remember what, and was delighted to find a site where I could post articles. I love writing but never wrote articles for the mags because they were always theme-of-the-month based and I just wanted to write! And here I still am!

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?
Welcome. Me too, just short of 20 years here. Joined in 2004. Was passive for some years, before writing a few articles here. Nowadays mostly restricted to the daily Wordle messages.

Oh, you live in Canada? How do you like it? If I add it all up, I'd say I've spent about 3 years total in Canada. I used to spend summers in Nova Scotia. I stayed right on the beach of Nova Scotia's north shore facing Prince Edward Island. It's one of the most beautiful places that I've ever been. It's nice to meet you, Ravi.
