At 27, I dislike that this post makes me feel both old, and that "the kids" are a little messed up in their history... The only major gripe I have is that no homage is paid by this history lesson to the dotcom era. 1999-2001 were probably the three most significant years in the history of modern web technology. And then there's the big post-bust open source resurgence you could be talking about! Shoot, now I'm getting all nostalgic... But don't let me discourage you, sonny. Please do keep writing. I promise I won't shake my cane at you too hard!
