Everything here was supposed to disappear. Banned subreddits, deleted communities, cancelled blogs — much of what is archived here survives nowhere else.
It stays free — no paywall, no account — for the next man who comes looking, the way it was free for you.
I pay for the servers, the storage and the bandwidth myself. If you want this record still standing in ten years, become one of the people who keeps it online.

English is not my mother language, so I had to google for late bloomer. I guess this is my case as well. I am not the sharpest knife in the drawer now (I am 38), but until my early twenties I was completely retarded*. Everything slowly started to change when I got into college and pursued my dream to become a programmer. Before I finally left my last job I was already struggling with boredom for years in it. Now I am working on my own project. I am no Torvalds, Carmack, Stallman or anything close, I think it is pure insanity, if it does not work I will either end up carrying groceries or killing myself, but hey, it is what it is.
I am not the king of the world today, but considering that I come from a place so poor that post apocalyptic movies would make us laugh, I think what I have achieved is not bad at all.
I am curious about how (and why) did it all happened to you, your struggles before working, why it took more time than usual for you, etc.
*Or was I? I'm still not 100% in good terms with this...
