@molly0xfff I think that pretty much everything on and about the Web was better, in some real sense of the word, in 2007 than it is now. The Web really peaked around 2012, but 2007 was the last time it felt like it wasn't out to get us and we were out to get them.

* We were generally trying to invent new, not replace old with " but over HTTP"
* We were generally ok with the non-dynamic Web Site
* Individual creators and ideas mattered more than corps and agendas
* it still felt cool to code
