I’m old enough that my first paid project was making modifications to a home grown Gopher server built using XCMDs for HyperCard.

My first post was on Usenet in 1994 using the “nn” newsreader

The web has gotten much larger than when it didn’t exist when I started.

But web rings on GeoCities weren’t exactly places to do “high quality research”. You still had to go to trusted sites you knew about or start at Wikipedia and go to citations.

Before two years ago I would go to Yelp. Now I use the paid version of ChatGPT that searches the internet and returns sources with links
