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.

Wow. I'm only 60, but you are my role model now

Inside every old person is a young person wondering what happened!! 
I actually do some part time work, installing and maintaining surveillance cameras and NVR's. I don't, however, climb ladders any more.

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!

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?

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 haven't yet read any articles, but over time, I bet they become a vital source of information. It's good to know that this isn't just an online forum, but much more.

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.

What Griff thinks is a cat is actually a variant of Loki.

I'm all for that! Will a dozen kegs be enough? I think I'm going to need a truck for this.

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'm glad to hear that, Slow Eddie. So far, I feel like it's what I have been looking for. The bad puns are the punneist of them all, ya know.

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.
Check out my IoT graphics library here:

And my IoT UI/User Experience library here:

Oh, good. I like competitions. Have we had any dad joke competitions yet? What would the prize be for winning such a competition?

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.

Welcome!
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.
