1. Introduction I have been making websites since high school in the late 90s. I learnt to write HTML code on my father’s old laptop (I even retrieved the tutorial I followed). I created my first page on Geocities (I sadly lost my Neighbourhood ID). I’m telling you here about a time that those under twenty cannot know—no CMS. No frameworks. No CSS. No responsive design. No Javascript bullshit :-) We were literally writing HTML code with Notepad and uploading files one by one using FTP.

We have one ritual in my new job. Every other Friday afternoon, one of us has to present a non-work related topic of its interest (usually 10-15 minutes). There is no limitation for that and we can cover whatever we want. The only detail is we usually bring a couple of nerf guns so things can get crazy in one way of the other. Anyway, it’s really good fun. I recycled an old presentation for my first round so no big surprises there (it’s also a subject I covered so many times in my previous jobs).
