That was an insane time. The pace was unreal. I remember Netscape 2.0 had at least 6-7 beta releases prior to the full release. And each one just dropped something massive and fundamental to the Internet - JavaScript (then called LiveScript IIRC) being one of those things. Just casually dropping what would dominate the entire industry in a browser beta.

The only other period I have experienced that comes close is what is happening now. What an incredible time to build.

LOL. And Netscape 1.1 just casually birthed SSL (2.0) for the world and future generations.
