Oh, when we were young! Ok, when I was young. This is a professional headshot at the beginning of my public speaking, advocacy, authoring, and publishing career which began in 1999 for Web. My first major talk was that year, on HTML 4.1 to 200 people. Yes, it was that long ago!

The HTML era having the <marquee > tag 😊

I have found some really funny articles I wrote around that time definitely worth sharing as historic moments in time that are just really funny regarding code and web design and how we work and how we used to work. Web TV LOL

HTML has come a long way.

Has it? I don't think hypertext markup language is what we have now at all.

Yeah, indirectly thats what I meant. 😊

Maybe we should just say apis have come a long way. Why are we building software? That wasn't the plan! It drives me nuts I'm old school I get why mobile apps but I don't understand native apps for websites that function perfectly well without me having to download another fn app

True

I really wonder sometimes if we should not just separate mobile app development from web sites and approach them differently it wasn't the original idea we wanted separation in the front end stack we wanted lean code and clean code and people to know the code not no code. Lol

I take it as the Stone age era.
