Yo! I'm Adam. I'm a web developer based in London, UK and I'm open for messages and questions about work or code or anything really.
P.s I'm the one with the beard in my profile pic βπ»π΅
Everyone saying this is just clickbait is an absolute shining example of how people act like dickheads on the internet. I'm so glad you found programming when you did, Arik. I'm glad you felt it saved your life and I'm very glad you shared the story. Genuinely makes me angry and a little upset to see how many people wanted a horror story of you nearly dying or something equally terrible like "the old unit getting wiped out" as one user so graciously put it. Fucking disgusting.

I was actually worried I might get flagged for 'vulgar language' lol - I really love this place and it's been such a nice way to get all the code info I want without the harsh replies on Stackoverflow or the constant distractions on Twitter. After reading the article and relating somewhat I was really worried to see that it was Arik's first and (after a load of mean comments) potentially last post! I actually mentioned to my girlfriend I could probably have just told you and you would have sorted it but I try to avoid being a snowflake when I can aha. Thanks a lot Ben (and the mods!!) Really appreciate what your doing with this site.

Thanks for enforcing community values Adam. Mods have taken appropriate action.

Thanks for the kind words, we're really trying!
