I was born in 2009, so none of them 😃. But I cannot think of a world without GitHub as it became the storage for open-source and collaborative code

Definitely remember hearing about open source in '98... I was just starting out & the idea of shared code was mind-blowing. Has really shaped how we work now, hasn't it?

From static sites to complex web apps -- if we could start the web over, what tech would we use instead of HTML, CSS, and JavaScript?
