I don't know why she's nervous, she clearly knew the spec well and didn't have to resort to modern abstraction frameworks to serve a simple static site.

Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

And she did it all in notepad
yeah, but if you don't use wordpress to serve 3 static webpages, how will you get repeated business when it doesn't get hacked in 3 years?
You obviously include a busy loop in JavaScript that takes exponentially more time each year. Then every few years you change the base year

The absolute horseshit that things like Facebook consist of make me wonder if half the people who work on it have even made an HTML page from scratch.
Usually, no.

The old internet was a wonderful place for learning.
And pain Olympics, but my rose coloured glasses are blocking that out right now.
Wow I was thinking about that just the other day (I remember it as "BME pain olympics"). I wonder if it's still floating around out there? But TBH I don't want to know.

CSS3 and HTML. Not quite as simple as an easy tag, but you can party like it is 1999.
Literally why I started HTML and then into programming. Had to do those sick absolute position overlays on the club pages of Neopets.
Myspace also got a number of people playing with HTML and CSS if I remember correctly. It's been years. Not sure CSS is actually even used anymore. I enjoyed web design classes back in the 2000s. Macromedia still owned Dreamweaver and it wasn't all that great, so I could still do better by hand. I haven't played around with any of it in years now, but I assume those programs have GUIs that blow away anything that can be written in notepad like back then.
If you've never trouble shot 100 pages of JavaScript in notepad because you didn't have access to other tools, you haven't had "fun" before. ...fucking nightmare. Find out you put an extra space somewhere.
The better you got though you'd narrow down finding those errors quickly, and then eventually find out a fucking free program will color code the shit and tell you to look at line 232 because it doesn't make sense

Okay but that is adorable and true XD
The old internet taught us so many random skills. I couldn't type on a keyboard for jack until I got into MMO's back in the day, because it was pre voice comms. So I learned to type faster so I would struggle less XD
I learnt HTML and JS by viewing the source code of major sites like Yahoo (this was in the early 2000s so CSS wasn't extremely widespread yet). That's practically impossible these days due to how much bulkier sites have gotten. Back then, HTML and JS were simple, unminified, and easy to understand.

For those interested Neocities is a modern equivalent. The homepage has some featured pages linked you can browse if you are looking to kill time.
I coded HTML for the first time in 2002. So I have 22 years experience. Anyone want to see my ASCII art?
Anyone want to see my ASCII art?
Yes
Here is an old archive that never got updated after I got my own domain. https://asciipr0n.com/fp/

I feel personally attacked
Is she sweating because she's insecure about her knowledge, or is she sweating because she fears a followup question into WHAT she did?
She’s sweating because she has a disorder that makes her sweat at random moments. Everyone always reads too much into it.

Yeah, that's how HTML is learnt. Never had to look back at HTML afterwards
Got my first computer in 92 so I have 35 years of experience.
I played a shitty port of Street fighter 2 on it an Lucas arts adventures
When can I start, work is a joke to me and I can figure anything out quickly.

Parts of my old AngelFire website is still archived. A horrible mess of Comic Sans, black backgrounds with lime green and dark red or purple text, animated gifs, auto-playing sounds, frames and pretty much any and all features of HTML, especially things you never really saw being used like blinking and color changing text that wasn't just an image.
Too bad none of the Klik'n'Play games I made and had uploaded there are able to be downloaded... I kinda want to be reminded exactly what the Pikachu virtual pet I made was like in all it's cringe glory. Though Nintendo would probably be sending an army of lawyers up my ass rn if it was.

Html it self hasn't really changed much.
From Lisa Explains it All to becoming a computer science professor I feel this in my bones.
Master of all 22 elements
Worms 2 but yes this is absolutely on point. I think my host was angelfire? I taught myself frames and thought I was so cool!
No shame in being self taught.
There should be pride in being self taught. Although it's hard to do it ~~hard~~ right (as in: do your own research).
My earliest experiences of computer networking were due to wanting to host multiplayer gaming sessions with friends. Things did not "just work" back then.

I still have a geocities page, can't login to it, but it's still up.
blink tag for life, motherfuckers.
I learned everything I know from CSShelp the Kougra. It's a shame that her page has since been replaced with the species default. It was such a great resource.
