I'm a friendly, non-dev, cisgender guy from NC who enjoys playing music/making noise, hiking, eating veggies, and hanging out with my best friend/wife + our 3 kitties + 1 greyhound.
The power of online networking can't be understated.
It was through online networking that I discovered DEV and ultimately got my job here at Forem. I used to work at DZone and through speaking to writers on the site, I discovered DEV! I quickly realized that I wanted to be a part of this awesome community and luckily, when a job opened up on the Community side, I applied.
Speaking of, as a Community Manager, I suppose I have online networking to thank for my livelihood. π
Seriously awesome post, Amara.

I love stories like yours! Networking comes in all shapes and sizes and doesnβt even necessarily require meeting in person. So so cool!
