I’m 26 years old, CS graduate living in Wrocław (Poland), professional compiler developer, cryptography research assistant and programmer.
I’m an atheist (quite possibly thanks to LW). I consider the world to be overall interesting. I have many interests and I always have more things to do than I have time for. I’m motivated by curiosity. I’m less risk-averse than most people around me, but also less patient. I have a creative mind and love chellanges.
While being fairly successful lone wolf until now, I seek to improve my people skills because I belive I can’t get much further all by myself.
When I found LW for the first time, it absorbed me. It took me about 4 months at 4-6h a day to read all of the Sequences and comments.
While I strongly disagree with some of the material, I consider LW to have accelerated my personal developement 2 to 3 times simply by virtue of critical mass and high singal to noise ratio. I don’t know any better hub for thought (links welcome!).
I joined becuse I finally have something to say.
If you’re interested in making a post, I bet lots of us would be interesting in hearing that story.

Join the club! It sounds like you’ve chosen a good career for someone who likes challenges, too.

Agreed–same for me. If anything, the Sequences that I’ve disagreed with were better for me, in terms of making me think...even if I still disagreed after thinking about it, they were mostly things I had never thought about to that degree of depth before.
