What a cool idea! There's a lot of people worth thanking here, but I really want to give a big shout out to three awesome doods who have always inspired me to be a better person, not just a programmer.

@ben At this point, it goes without saying that these people have created a community far beyond than just a mere "information-sharing site". I want to thank you, Ben, in particular, for inspiring me to pursue a career beyond the temptations of a pay-check. Through DEV, you and the DEV Team have shown me, time and again, that there is more to programming than writing code. Thank you for showing me the value of teamwork, friendship, and enthusiasm for teaching in such a competitive industry. Moreover, I would like to thank you for being one of my #1 supporters. Ever since my first few weeks here in DEV, you have always motivated me to pursue writing by never failing to be among the first—if not the first—to read and react to my articles. It means a lot coming from you. Thank you for that. You have helped me gain a confidence in writing that I wouldn't have attained without your undying support.

@sarthology Hey, bro! I've never had the chance to tell you how much I appreciate your encouragement. You've always strove to push me into the world of open-source projects. Thanks to your welcoming light, you have helped me get the hang of contributing to codebases, even for tiny changes and such. You've taught me the value of contribution, no matter how small, because in the end, those little contributions add up into something greater. Anyway, thanks for nudging me in the right direction. You've been such a great friend.

@codemouse92 Hello there. I'd like to take this opportunity to thank you for being an earnest supporter of my writing and coding journey. Like Ben, you've helped me attain the confidence I needed to push myself out of my comfort zone and improve myself. It is an honor to know that I have people like you who are willing to help me out in the long journey ahead of me in my software development career.
