I've been a professional C, Perl, PHP and Python developer.
I'm an ex-sysadmin from the late 20th century.
These days I do more Javascript and CSS and whatnot, and promote UX and accessibility.
How’s it going, I'm a Adam, a Full-Stack Engineer, actively searching for work. I'm all about JavaScript. And Frontend but don't let that fool you - I've also got some serious Backend skills.

10 plus years* active enterprise development experience and a Fine art degree 🎨
What is it about that number that makes you feel good? Did you feel the same at 17000 (if you noticed)?
Yes of course, it's an achievement to feel like I have wrote something engaging and I have worked hard to keep writing engaging posts, I felt the same way at 100
Do you notice how many people follow others and compare yourself with them?
No because that statistic is anonymous and even if it wasn't I don't compare myself to others if I cannot have the same experience of others then how could I know!
... did you feel bad about yourself when you had fewer followers?
Yes In the beginning I was less confident and by writing I grew in confidence
Do you like to wrangle statistics in general? Do you have any other metrics you're following?
Yes I do, this is one is something that helped me out and it's not uncommon for me to follow other statistics
I can see your upset Ben?
Sure, you can earn more respect for doing something great, but as a baseline, just respect everyone. Just do it.
Was your comment meant to be sarcastic because I felt like it ðŸ˜, just saying, these are your words

No, I'm not trying to be sarcastic!
I just don't normally have the opportunity to ask people about their stats without coming across as weird... which I obviously still do :/
