One of the best posts I read over dev.to. I was born in 1998, you have more experience than for how long I've been alive. The initial website you created is absolutely beautiful and reminds me of Windows 98.
Also, I love one of your reply, "A “Product Card” is a “Product Card” for the end user." Strive for simplicity, use the bare minimum, make things simple rather than complex. Glad to see an actual senior developer sharing wisdom with us. Thank you!
I'm a web developer, graphic designer, type designer, musician, comicbook-geek, LEGO-collector, food lover … as well as husband and father, located just south of Copenhagen, Denmark.
Thank you so much! I'm amazed you know Windows 98, when you were born that year! Until recently, I kept my original Windows 3.1 floppy disks and Windows 95+98 CD-ROM's ...
I suspect Muhammad knows Win98 from an engineering-archaeology class... :) Floppy Disks are the stone cuneiform tablets of the Internet.
I have a 23 year old site I need to do some maintenance on or maybe migrate to Wordpress, just for the sake of posterity. It's Classic ASP plus "Windows Script Components" and a little ASP.Net in one or two places. Truly horrorshow. The idjit who wrote the code -- namely, me -- clearly didn't know what he was doing.

I found a comment in my code that read "This function is unmaintainable garbage" :) which is to say that even when I wrote it, I knew I shouldn't. Believe me, no one else EVER touched this code, so that had to be me.

In early 2000s computers in my country were very rare and where I lived, there were extremely rare. My dad got us Pentium 3, it was darn expensive. Windows 98 was the first Windows I used.
It was only a few years later we installed Windows XP. Also remember playing Age Of Empires one and two. Good old days. I never used a floppy disk myself but saw my brother used it once. CDs were the norm though.

I also thought "who the hell coded this s***" when I looked at my old code!

Cool! Performance was SO important back then - 2-4 MB websites, as is the norm today, would take minutes to load.
