Also ditto.
- I would love to change the world, but they won’t give me the source code.

You know, I did not find CodeProject.
In fact, CodeProject found me. A day, while I was on the way to Damascus...

Quote: His excitement softened. He looked from the window and the night, inward, toward the bedrooms. "And my wife and kids," he finished, most gently. "No, I wouldn't go back, no matter what happened."
I took a final breath of my cigar. "You have done rather well."
Liberated from his gray mood, he grinned at me. "You know, I think you believe that yarn."
"Oh, I do." I stubbed out the cigar, rose, and stretched. "The hour is late. We'd better be going."
He didn't notice at once. When he did, he came out of his chair like a big cat. "We?"
"Of course." I drew a nerve gun from my pocket. He stopped in his tracks. "This sort of thing isn't left to chance. We check up. Come along, now."
The blood drained from his face. "No," he mouthed, "no, no, no, you can't, it isn't fair, not to Amalie, the children—"
"That," I told him, "is part of the punishment."
I left him in Damascus, the year before Tamerlane sacked it.

In the old times where you heard lots of silly noises to connect to the Internet, I was programming a VC++ program and searching for help and articles to solve doubts found and you know... it's been great since then.
Back in those days that there were codeguru and then codeproject, was much more friendly and rapidly it started growing and growing becoming better and better every day.

Codeguru! Haven’t heard of them in a looong time. 🤮
If you can't laugh at yourself - ask me and I will do it for you.

I found CodeProject when doing searching for information on how to obtain a stack trace in C++.
|
|
|
|

Found in a search, back in 2004 while learning C#, and working on a project.

I honestly don't remember. It has been a long time. I probably found it via a search engine looking for a code example.

20 years ago I was living in North Guilford CT with my girlfriend, using a 32KB/64KB ISDN modem (among other acronyms, the phone company referred to ISDN as "Information Subscribers Don't Need") and was searching for something, don't remember what, but I think it was C++ related, when I found an article on the topic on some site called Code Project.

MSDN redirects (used to?) here for many searches. At the time my former prison company blocked any site that wasn't MSDN, so we (as in the entire development team) had to make a specific request and wait several months before they opened CP too.

I must have been looking for an answer to a WPF question based on when my profile was created. I had just started a new job, my current job, and was tasked with creating a new UI for an existing product.
It will be 10 years for me this coming April.
I’ve given up trying to be calm. However, I am open to feeling slightly less agitated.
