10 Years Lurking, Finally Posting!

[stiffidy]

Hey everyone!

I’ve finally gathered the strength and courage to make this post after quite a long time. I’ve been lurking here since 2015 but only made my account in 2018.

I’ve poked around here and there but haven’t really been active or contributed much. I gotta say, this forum is a goldmine - there are so many great journeys here that inspire and teach, though I’ll admit the competition is pretty fierce.

Thankfully, I’ve made one contact from here who’s also my local. He’s been a huge help, sharing his knowledge and giving me the inside scoop on how BHW actually works since he’s way more active and known here than I am.

Currently, I’m managing websites for some friends and running two small IRL businesses that I’m trying to grow, all while keeping an eye out for new projects - because I choose to grind while still young.

So far, I’ve built up decent skills in GFX (11 years), programming (4 years), 3D design (2 years), and web dev (3 years) and a lot more skills - enough that I could actually help someone in those areas if needed.

I’d love to get to know more people here, share my own knowledge, and maybe even build something great together!

That’s about it - thanks for reading!

Welcome! Honestly, you sound like the final boss of the Newbie section. Looking forward to seeing what you build… just don’t forget us when you're running your empire of 3D-printed, AI-powered, blockchain-optimized websites.

what is the income from your businesses in irl?

Currently, my businesses are operating at a loss due to significant initial investments in materials and other expenses. I’m focused on building a strong foundation for future profitability.

Haha, I appreciate the enthusiasm! I’m excited to contribute and connect with everyone here. Rest assured, I’ll stay engaged as I work on my projects - no matter where they take me!

Much respect for finally stepping out of lurk mode! got a stacked skillset and the right mindset grinding while you're young hits different. just one solid collab away from building something big.
