Hello everyone,
I've been debating whether or not to join PD for quite a while now, mainly because I distrust technology in general and the internet in particular and also, because I was afraid that this site would be just an excuse to share all kinds of weird stuff. However, I have to say I am overwhelmed by the amount of insight people have and give into their thoughts and dreams, the openness with which even delicate matters are being discussed but never judged. That's what finally convinced me to become a member and after all I've read so far - I am really glad I did.
As it took me quite a while to realize I am not the only dev out there (maybe because I always considered it to be so much a part of myself that I didn't know there was actually a name for it?) I just really wanted to say thank you to the 'founding mothers' of this incredible project!
I live in Germany and am in my late twenties - who knows maybe there are more people from Germany lurking around PD? I am unfortunately very shy, so the idea of meeting new people is always a little challenging - but I'm really looking forward to making new friends here and getting to know you all!

Welcome to the forum. There are plenty from Germany in here. Plus more Euros like me from the UK. Thanks and hello! It's always nice to meet people from the UK! (I'm still figuring out how to quote people properly, so bear with me) Wow, thank you so much! Great to meet people here from all over the world - and very nice to meet a fellow German Dev, so hello RyooT! Hello to the US and, if my interpretation is correct, Holland! ;-)
