Haha yes. Using images for rounded borders was classic. I remember many sleepless nights of trying to do pixel perfect Photoshop to HTML layouts too. Or using many chained characters to fix spacing issues. Yeah version control is definitely a win. I mean, back in the day my idea of testing was to take something like a blog.php file, copy it to blog2.php. Make my changes and upload it to the live production server. Since this new "2" version of the page wasn't linked anywhere I was free to manually test it in privacy. Then if it worked as expected, I would delete the old blog.php file, rename the blog2.php to blog.php and upload it. That was a "release". Zero downtime deploys without Kubernetes or load balancers, circa 2003. |

it always irks me when i read a sentence like that.
* if something went wrong, your site would've been down. completely. irrelevent and easy to recover from as a small hobby page, but incredibly expensive if you need to honor a high uptime SLA.
* stateless services that don't need schema migrations are still very easy to upgrade without kubernetes -- or load balancers for that matter.
