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.
I'm not even a programmer but I fully agree and love chatting to folks here (and yes, I know work here so I'm a bit biased, haha! 😅)... but, I really do feel like the community is kind and kindness is contagious. Folks build each other up and that behavior spreads. Not that we're completely troll-free and of course arguments arise from time to time between ordinarily calm, cool people. BUT, I feel like the community is overwhelmingly positive and it's nice to be amongst so many kind, helpful people.
Well said!

Exactly, this is a contagious kindness community! I've never seen such a safe place on the internet like this.
