Well, I'm getting a new job soon ... still in I.T. work, but not in web development. I'll probably be around here less often. Of course, it's not like I'm here giving great answers to questions all the time anyway. I do want to thank the community here for remaining, at its core, the same great people who have been making PHPBuilder a great resource for the last two decades.

Especially those of you who remember when I was more of a newb .... I've made a decade or more of living with PHP and web development, and I can't say thank you quite loud enough to y'all.

"Dale" 🙂

You've helped me in the past, don't forget to drop in now and then. Good luck in the new job!

Hope the new job is rewarding in whichever ways are important to you. 👍️

Congratulations on the new job - hope it is everything you want it to be, come on back whenever you get the chance, and thanks for all your contributions here!

Well, it's 60% less commuting distance, a small increase in real wages, I'll have health insurance again (gave that up for a cash equivalent several years ago here), and the retirement plan is pretty good even without me contributing anything.

I'm most excited though, to have my own water cooler 😃 and an adjustable desk.

    I have a desk at work that can easily convert between sitting and standing mode -- and usually forget about it until around 4:30pm when I realize I'm tired/sore from sitting in my chair all day. 🙂

      cluelessPHP Health insurance? So you're safe when you go on holiday?

      This is the USA, where you have to buy your own health insurance (or have it largely paid for by your employer) for all medical care. Otherwise you are responsible for all of your medical costs, unless you qualify for certain limited government programs (such as Medicare if you are 65 or older, or Medicaid for certain disadvantaged groups).

          Well, hope that you're not like me (sounds like maybe not, I think maybe you're the elder?) My blood turns to JellO if I sit too long, apparently. I've have two incidences of DVT from long coding sessions, and the last one almost killed me in November.

              There are a few other options; we're part of a church sharing ministry, so, assuming we can keep collections from going in on the bills, within six months people send us enough $$$ to cover all but a few hundred dollars or any major incidents we have.

              Routine care's another matter though.

                @dalecosp thanks for all the help over the years. You and this community have been a huge resource for me and have helped me learn what I do for living still to this day. Good Luck with your new endeavor.

                    Strange we have the NHS here, thankfully or I'd have been dead by 4 lol

                    If I ever get this site of mine working how I like it and active users I'll get medical for all those who work for me 😂
