I was thinking about something a mentor told me as my career was starting and I was part of work committees: “Your vote is not your endorsement.” At the time I don’t think I believed it. I believe it now.

Geocities as far as HTML goes I would say. Then I did a bit of PERL CGI for my degree (there was supposed to be a class for it, but I just did the assignment). I guess what really kick-started it was learning this brand new thing called PHP as part of my internship. V2 had just come out!
