There used to be a website called Planet SourceCode where everyone uploaded their own code. I would download the zip files from there and build clone programs by watching how everyone else did it. Mostly programs for Windows XP, Visual Basic and Delphi clones.

I started my web development with PHP back when there was a free 110MB hosting planner. Running websites there was a lot of fun. These days I still host websites using PHP, but the APIs are usually handled by Rust Node.js in the background. Of course, this depends on the user base. Smaller projects still use pure PHP PostgreSQL.
