Welcome @devintelbyte, the 1 millionth registered DEV!

DEV just passed 1 million registered members, and the 1 millionth is @devintelbyte 😆.

Thank you to all those who have been along along for the ride, and we hope you have been enriched by at least one thing you've read on DEV. I suspect you have.

We're deep in the continuous process of reinvention, and growth of all kind to ensure that we provide a valuable experience for the whole developer ecosystem. This would not be possible without all 1 million of those registered members (even the spam bots and hackers, who have helped us develop a resilient system). It's exciting to take a moment to celebrate this milestone.

Of those registered members are 669 individuals who have committed code to Forem, the open source technology that powers DEV — and our core team members, past and present.

Here's to the first million, and our collective efforts to create a welcoming environment for the next million!

cheers to 1 million

Happy coding!

The DEV team should buy out SO and reform the entire platform. It would become such a welcoming, friendly and open platform where developers would learn 10x more without being ashamed for being a beginner. It's just too bad SO is bigger than DEV so this is unlikely.

Congratulations DEV for surpassing one million users (possibly including bots)!
And congratulations @devintelbyte for being the one millionth user!

I hope everyone is having a happy 2023, and hopefully this platform can see a resurgence of popularity.
