RE: AMA – Steemian StellaBelle is on LIVE!
My first question would be. How did you hear about SteemIt to begin with? Thanks!

I was a science/tech writer for Interesting Engineering and I was doing research online for a story I wrote. The story was found on Reddit (I have no idea how I found it), and I was searching for other media sites to verfiy it. I only found one source, so I began searching in depth for "Filetoffish1066". That was the guy's name. The only other place I found this name mentioned was on Steemit! It was a magical and bizarre time...I was searching in the middle of the night, as I found Steemit.com for the first time....4 months after it launched. Here's the story that went pretty viral: https://interestingengineering.com/programmer-automates-job-6-years-boss-fires-finds/
Thanks for the answer. It is odd how things like that work itself out. Yes, I remember that story. Amazing how time fly's.
always feel that the people who found Steemit by accident, on their own are a special sort.....@teamsteem and I bonded quickly once we realized that we had found it on our own, like moths drawn towards light..
yeah...
i hv to beg some of my friends to join steemit. if only they knew the trouble I had to go through to get it
I like this Filetoffish1066, if he was able to pull this off, he shouldn't have been fired!
Here's the Steemit post that changed my entire course in life: https://steemit.com/news/@nkdk/programmer-fired-after-6-years-realizes-he-doesnt-know-how-to-code
