In 1997 I got a job at a local newspaper, threw together a weekly website that mostly consisted of hard-coded HTML templates and liberal use of `<frame>` tags. After a few months and several hundred hard-coded files, a helpful fellow at our hosting firm introduced me to ColdFusion and Microsoft Access. That set the foundation for the next twenty-five years of my life, really. Thanks CF!
