- marcus_holmes 4y agoThey weren't the only ones making this mistake at the time. I remember having a "ruh-oh!" moment when a junior dev showed me his latest DHTML web page that did something we'd previously been doing in VB. The sudden realisation that this was significant and I'd better get on with learning it or be left behind was painful. The urge to continue dismissing the web as a good information source but not somewhere you did things was strong.
