I’m sure we will hear a lot about Bill Atkinson (RIP) over the next few days, but I want to point out the huge influence of #HyperCard on the Web. @timbl himself mentioned it in his original WWW proposal (https://cybercultural.com/p/1990-programming-the-world-wide-web/), early web browsers like ViolaWWW were modeled on HyperCard (https://cybercultural.com/p/1992-web-vs-gopher/), and even JavaScript owed a debt to it (HyperCard included an object oriented scripting language called HyperTalk; https://cybercultural.com/p/1995-the-birth-of-javascript/).

1990: Programming the World Wide Web

In the final few months of 1990, Tim Berners-Lee and his colleague Robert Cailliau developed the world’s first browser, created HTML, wrote the first web server, and invented HTTP.

The RIAA wanted thousands in damages for someone sharing an MP3, let's hope those same level of figures are applied to AI companies. An entire industry based on massive copyright infringement. If paying for content breaks your business model, then tough, you deserve to fail.

So, PHP walks into a bar in 2025. The bartender says, "Hey, haven't seen you since... oh wait, everyone keeps saying you're dead! What'll it be?" PHP replies, "Just a tall glass of 'I told you so,' neat."

While sipping on it, PHP mumbles my motto should be changed to: "Reports of my death have been greatly exaggerated... since 1995."

If I'm going to be totally honest: implementing anything in #curl is about fourteen times easier and more fun than the thread- and object-spaghetti that is #Firefox code... But don't tell anyone I said this.

going to one of these parties meant lugging along your heavy 15" CRT, a C64, a diskette station, a power strip, lots of diskettes and a sleeping bag. Almost all of us just teenagers. Then code assembler demos like crazy, barely sleep, meet similar minded weirdos, drink oceans of Coke and eat rubbish food for a whole weekend. It would totally exhaust us. It was the best of times.

That cemented my career.
