In the 90s we didn't have the developer console or sophisticated debugging tools.

The only way to debug was "alert("foo")" placed in strategic locations!

We also had to handle significantly varied browser differences.

You can do a 90s style site today and vastly benefit from modern tech.

I remember putting border: 1px solid red around my layout "blocks" to help me build layouts (of course the extra pixels could mess with the layout). Then dev console came and you could inspect and mouse over those blocks and those red lines would appear and it was just amazing.
