Welcome to the forum!  Pretty decent group of people here, you're right.  There's some people that show off their epeen every once in a while.  But its excusable because we just really like hardware around here, and at least here.....people usually don't do it in a demeaning way.  I felt perfectly fine and at home here with a 3770k and RX580, same as I feel now with my measly 3600 and 5700XT.

And yes, please do share what you can about what you like about software.  It's one area I never got into, and would love to learn more about.  Made a few self extracting executables out of rar's a few years back, that was about the extent of my "software dev". :lachen:

Software dev; tinkerer by nature so love experimenting.

 

Lurked for a very short time before I realized this forum seems excellent, with a severe lack of ego.  

Glad you noticed, I feel the same way. I tend to talk the most trash on the site and lose my crap every so often. It's all with love, except @BWG, I can't stand him 🙂

 

I have never seen anyone belittled or hazed when asking a real question and all of the guys here are willing to help. The majority of us have been doing this over 20 years.

Oh, that's a shame. I'm so very fond of you, and I'd never say anything negative about you, ever. Tea and crumpets 4 life! 🤣
