I love to spend time digging into discussions on DEV. There are always people wanting to hear and help you. I'll defeat this place with my mouse and keyboard (sword and shield).
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.

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