"I've been a full-stack Web developer since 1993"
That's an early adopter! I was still craving an Internet connection at the time.
- reuven 13y agoThe story is that a friend of mine at MIT came back to the student newspaper and said, "I just went to a lecture given by this guy Tim Berners-Lee, describing this thing he's calling the World-Wide Web. We should get on this!" So we set up a Web server with some of the newspaper's archives, and then e-mailed TimBL and said, "Hey, we set up a Web site. What do you think?" His response was something like, "That's great! I'll put it on my list of all of the Web sites in the world." And that's how my career got started; turns out that we were one of the first 100 sites in the world.
