This is totally random but thought I’d share:
I started using Blender about 9 years ago when I was just 11 years old, and this forum really helped me cultivate my skills and grow creatively. I never thought it would be anything more than a hobby for me, but recently I started working as a full time software engineer in computer vision, and part of the reason I got the job is that I’m able to create 3D test cases using Blender and Python. Totally random, but I thought it was pretty cool that I’m still using Blender after all these years, and that I’m able to use it professionally every day.
