This post is spot on. When I was a kid, I got my start when my dad wanted me to sell some stuff in the garage on this new site his buddy's son was using called eBay. I remember looking at all the other posts and wondering how they made the text different colors and put borders on things and found this world called HTML. I still have the notebook I used to write down all the cool things you could do with the various tags. Those were the days of not knowing what I didn't know. Now I definitely know what I don't know, and it's pretty terrifying and exhilarating.

Definitely terrifying and exhilarating. Thanks for commenting - always fun to hear how other devs start out, sometimes similar, sometimes way different.
