200,000 posts?! Wow. If that doesn't bring this milestone home, what does?

Happy Hiveversary, Eric. It's been such a tremendous pleasure knowing you and getting to interact with and learn from you down the years :) I was just thinking earlier today about my own (8th) anniversary coming up next month, and realizing as old as that sounds, all the people I looked up to when I first came here, yourself included, must be even older.

A whole decade almost. Who would've thought.

Sometimes I still can’t believe how profoundly this community has changed my life. For better, and sometimes worse, for once in my life I can say that I know what it feels like to win.

💯

Even more valuable, I’ve gained the kind of genuine optimism that a person can only have when the veil has been parted and you catch a glimpse of truth. I’ve grown up. [...] I have Hive to thank for that as well.

So much here that rings true <3 I'm glad you're around. What a pleasure this has been to read. Cheers to you tonight, and hoping for at least another 9 :)
