I misread this quote at first:
"For many developers, figuring out how to do something cool on their Myspace page or building a GeoCities site full of animated “under construction” GIFs was the genesis of their tech careers."
I read it as "apex of (my) tech career." It felt like everything since then has been a slow decent into disappointment.
Everything feels so rigid now. Back then it was just fun. Feels like every thing I make now is loaded with anxiety about future changes and scalability and code rot. Tragic that this is gone for me.
