It was fun and I learned a lot. I mostly did small time jobs for local companies and used the money for my tuition. Most sites were just static HTML, and I could program flash, so there wasn’t much risk to it.

I am glad we have git instead of various backup folders on an ftp server, continuous integration, unit tests, and frameworks/accessible info to prevent the more basic errors.

There is reasons it ended, and some of them good. Sorry, got caught up in nostalgia a bit there.

You can still write open source stuff without needing anything besides technical knowledge, if you are in a situation where you have extra time and energy after feeding yourself.
