Welcome to hive! I’m glad that you’re on here with us, it’s a wonderful place full of lots of great people!
I think that you will absolutely love it here, with your background and looking to write a thesis on something, there’s so much to learn here. For a developer and someone looking to get into the field, this is one of the best places to do so because you have people waiting to try out anything new and give immediate feedback and constructive feedback! Plus there is a real desire for developers here, regardless of your expertise. If you can help us develop something here, those people get pretty awesome rewards if they are good at it!
Feel free to ask me any questions in here you come across. You can reply to this comment or tag me with my name by typing @cmplxty and I’ll get a notification.
One of the things I wanted to do is give you a piece of advice that could make this place awesome for you! Talking with some of the people who have been here for a while, we remember one of the best things we did was find other people’s posts through others or go looking and start commenting meaningful things. If you drop small phrases it won’t get you much attention but if you look at a persons post and leave a great comment, a lot of times they will appreciate it and talk with you. If you continue to do this you will develop a friendship with them and will gain followers and grow your account. This is not an easy and fast process. It takes time but the more effort you put in the more you can be rewarded, with limitations of course.
I just say this in hopes you go out there and really connect with people and grow your account. The more we all do this, the more people will come here to take advantage of such a great place.
There’s also a great article that can answer a lot of the questions you may have. Please visit it at:

Thank you @cmplxty for welcoming me and leaving a helpful reply with plenty of tips & resources - I'm definitely going to delve into it! And yes, it would be nice to make new friends along the way, so looking forward to interacting with many interesting persons around here. Also realizing, this is a marathon, not a sprint :) Have a nice day!
Well said! It’s not about getting there really quickly but rather it’s about being consistent and getting yourself set up for the long run.
Don’t hesitate to ask me any questions you may have! There’s a lot to learn for sure, I’m still learning 2+ years out!
I look forward to connecting with you more in the future, I think you will fit in really nicely!
