Html it self hasn’t really changed much.
Got my first computer in 92 so I have 35 years of experience.
I played a shitty port of Street fighter 2 on it an Lucas arts adventures
When can I start, work is a joke to me and I can figure anything out quickly.
Is she sweating because she’s insecure about her knowledge, or is she sweating because she fears a followup question into WHAT she did?
She’s sweating because she has a disorder that makes her sweat at random moments. Everyone always reads too much into it.

Parts of my old AngelFire website is still archived. A horrible mess of Comic Sans, black backgrounds with lime green and dark red or purple text, animated gifs, auto-playing sounds, frames and pretty much any and all features of HTML, especially things you never really saw being used like blinking and color changing text that wasn’t just an image.
Too bad none of the Klik’n’Play games I made and had uploaded there are able to be downloaded… I kinda want to be reminded exactly what the Pikachu virtual pet I made was like in all it’s cringe glory. Though Nintendo would probably be sending an army of lawyers up my ass rn if it was.
Oh God I am sure my websites are gone. I hope so
If your site didn’t have marquis text then it wasn’t worth visiting.
For those interested Neocities is a modern equivalent. The homepage has some featured pages linked you can browse if you are looking to kill time.
Reminds me of the time I was using Microsoft frontPage. now CSS and js frameworks have become a science of its own that reinvents itself every two years.
Okay but that is adorable and true XD
The old internet taught us so many random skills. I couldn’t type on a keyboard for jack until I got into MMO’s back in the day, because it was pre voice comms. So I learned to type faster so I would struggle less XD
I don’t know why she’s nervous, she clearly knew the spec well and didn’t have to resort to modern abstraction frameworks to serve a simple static site.
The absolute horseshit that things like Facebook consist of make me wonder if half the people who work on it have even made an HTML page from scratch.
Some of the pieces of information on posts is drawn with the canvas element.
Usually, no.
And she did it all in notepad
yeah, but if you don’t use wordpress to serve 3 static webpages, how will you get repeated business when it doesn’t get hacked in 3 years?
You obviously include a busy loop in JavaScript that takes exponentially more time each year. Then every few years you change the base year
Just make sure the exponential growth is faster than Moore’s law, or they might never notice it.
Moore’s law has stalled for years now. Single thread performance is still going up but taking around 1 decade to double.
That’s not what Moore’s law is, that’s one of the (former) effects of it. Moore’s law is about transistor density, and its increase remains roughly constant.
Yeah totally
It’s overkill for static sites, but credit should be given to JSX for being a decent way to create DOM nodes dynamicly. You can use a JSX transformer without using React, too.
Master of all 22 elements
Scrolly words of yore
The old internet was a wonderful place for learning.
And pain Olympics, but my rose coloured glasses are blocking that out right now.
I mean there is always goatse. I showed my co-worker the original image since they didn’t know why there are memes about it now a day.
Eye bleach was used that day.
Don’t apologize. That pain is exactly why millennials are so much more tech literate than boomers and gen Alpha.
don’t click that link! It could be a shitty song on Youtube
Zoomers
don’t click that link, if you’re lucky it’s just gay porn and we don’t have to format the drives
Millennials
shitty?
Assuming you’re referring to rickrolling.
Yes bilephant
The pain Olympics made millennials tech literate?
The old internet is still there !internetisbeautiful@lemm.ee
Thank you.
(Also happy thanksgiving!)
Wow I was thinking about that just the other day (I remember it as “BME pain olympics”). I wonder if it’s still floating around out there? But TBH I don’t want to know.
Yeah, it was Body Modification Enthusiasts or something?
I heard years ago it was all faked. Who knows? The trauma is real.

Computer lab must have been a blast for the teachers.

CSS3 and HTML. Not quite as simple as an easy tag, but you can party like it is 1999.
My Angelfire page is still up. I check on it every few years.
The day Yahoo killed geocities was the day my innocence died.
you can still visit geocities on archive.org.
<blink>love it! </blink>

No shame in being self taught.
There should be pride in being self taught. Although it’s hard to do it
hardright (as in: do your own research).
