I’ve done some of that as well, in different contexts. Those were the days. Virgin territory, uncomplicated, no cross-browser concerns. I haven’t touched frontend since 2005, and looking at it now it’s horrifying. Even the hairiest C++ backend is easier for me now, just because once you write it it doesn’t need to be “updated” for the next decade. Frontend seems to change every 6 months for no apparent benefit.
- bryanrasmussen 9y agoyes but we also change every 9 months based on the analysis of what happened with the 6 month no benefit change. So there's that!
- chrisweekly 9y ago> "no cross-browser concerns" wat. the original browser wars? ns vs ie? 2 incompatible implementations w/ no tooling to help?
- barrkel 9y agoUncomplicated in those days meant IE5, everywhere.
- throwaway84742 9y agoIt was a Microsoft tool for Windows only. There wasn’t even a question that other browsers should not be supported.
