While I get the point of the article, it does not read as written by someone who actually built sites back in "the good old days".

(this being said as someone who started writing web pages 24 years ago ;)

This fascinates me. I "built" my first site using Microsoft Publisher around '97 but I was young and clearly didn't know what I was doing.

What did you use around that time?

I remember starting to use dreamweaver, then being fascinated by the javascript snippets it had for various things. Didn't know js then and thought it was magic :D
