We Were Cool

Remember when we didn't call it "the web"? It was "the net," baby! Back when you'd dial up with that sweet modem sound, download a single JPEG over 5 minutes, and feel like a goddamn tech wizard.

Those were simpler times... before JavaScript frameworks started multiplying faster than browser tabs on a developer's machine.
