You're right! Forgetting to say "thank you" to people who helped us a lot is something that happens more than often in IT. I still remember when I heard of jQ

I still remember when I heard of jQuery. It was in 2007 and it was so amazing.
Yes, I admit, the 'alert()/console.log()' was amazing :)
- karlshea 11y agoI'd just like to go back and show 15-year-ago me Firebug or Chrome/Firefox's DevTools and inspector. It's pretty stunning how far the tooling has come and what you can do with it.
- antod 11y agoHeh, nearly that far back I was wishing I could install Venkman in IE. JQuery and Firebug deserve a lot of credit for bringing some sanity to JS/web development. Sure things have moved on now, but they were ground breaking.
- aidos 11y agoMan, it was 2006 (10 years ago!) when Firebug, Drosera [1] and Web Inspector [2] were all released. There were definitely a lot of people eager to have some tools to make front end web dev easier back then. I never worked with Venkman but I recall all too well the hellish time I had debugging JS back around the turn of the millennium. IE was laughable, if there was an error in a script somewhere it would often just say error on line -1.

- antod 11y agoThat part about the line numbers in IE error messages was exactly the pain I was thinking of :)
- brakmic 11y agoSadly, we can't go back in time. But we should at least be grateful in the opposite direction.
