> Now, obviously developers didn't exist 20 years ago

i've got some perhaps surprising news for you, my young friend... 20 years ago was 1995.

sure we didn't have broadband and fancypants angular.js but i'm pretty certain developers were around waaaay back during web 1.0 (to use a turn of phrase).

Ahhh, crap. I'm old. Are you trying to suggest that 20 years ago wasn't the 1970's?

I was a software developer in the 1970s, too :-) I wrote a cartridge game for Mattel Intellivision, for example.

Yeah. I tend to forget too. Then I realize that StarCraft is about to hit 20, and given that I vividly remember playing it for the first time around 1997, I freak out. Where did all those years go? :(.

Like that old meme: I thought it would take longer to get old.
