Hi! I'm caird coinheringaahing and I'm an moderator of CGCC, where I help keep the site clean and free of VLQ/spam, as well as post the occasional answer or challenge. I also hang out in The Nineteenth Byte, where I keep an eye on chat and do my best to keep it running smoothly.
Any traditional pronouns (he/she/they) are fine with me. If you want to refer to me by name, any of "caird", "Jay" or "Chloe" are fine.
If one of my answers doesn't work, don't hesitate to comment so I can update it. Furthermore, if any of my answers are lacking explanations, let me know and I'll add one in.
My profile picture is of my adorable puppy, Patch, wearing a seasonally inappropriate hat.
