Thank you so much for your kind words. We've linked to this thread in our internal slack channel and I know this kind of feedback means a lot to the team. We're really excited about creating useful, approachable content, and hearing about how it has helped others is great encouragement.
I want to second the praise of DOs tutorial pages. I used to use stack overflow for all my tutorial needs, but I'll always pick DO when I can. Just in case you doubt their value - It's a big part of why I use DO for my hosting needs and recommend you guys to others.
I applied for a community role at Digital Ocean and got a generic "background doesn't match" response. Would be great to chat to a real person about if I might fit another role better or what I should focus on if I want to apply again in the future :)
If you, or someone you know, wants to join us in this effort, we are both hiring for these roles in the Community Department (https://www.digitalocean.com/company/careers/) and seeking freelance contributions (https://www.digitalocean.com/community/get-paid-to-write)
