As of today, my user profile on Drupal.org says I’ve been on it for 16 years.
Originally self-learning HTML and CSS to build a website for a Tae Kwon-Do School I used to train at, I later started to learn PHP and MySQL before trying Drupal after it was suggested to me in a response to a question on a forum (which was also built with Drupal).
Since then, I’ve done great things with Drupal and met many great people at different events.
I’ve even started to interview some of them on my podcast.
Here’s to the next 16 years, and I’m very excited so see where Drupal and PHP go.
