What a bunch of crap. Everyone who lived these era remembers the horrors of optimizing for a bunch of different browsers. Ajax was barely understood. PHP was all over the place. No frameworks. No Stack overflow. No Vibe Coding. Nah. Nowadays i just have to prompt Claude "Hey, write me a html site for html hobbyists and upload it somewhere on the internet". voila!

It wasn't so much "horror" as "this designer wants rounded corners". AJAX was well-understood but not yet standardized or widely supported, which is down to slow standardization bodies and browser developers like Microsoft and nowadays Google doing their own thing.

Anyway, show us your HTML site, document how you built it - that's the kind of thing this page is advocating for.

This era is before optimizing for browsers.

I like how you say this last part out loud, even with some sense of pride, it seems.
