Having HTML/CSS on my resume got me my first tech job, but after that it was treated at the same level as Microsoft Word. HTML/CSS was decoration, easy, a designer's job aka a woman's job.

Ironically, I find frontend work incredibly difficult now. I don't have the head for it. It's *hard*.

I was in the leadership of SF Women on the Web 98-2000. we saw an absolute bloodbath of members' HTML jobs in the crash, largely women who (like everyone then) had self-taught; so many of those women left the industry (& of course the industry went all in on CS degrees next wave)

Any something I had was a dad who got me a domain and shared web hosting (which was still very expensive then). Not everyone 1) has $ for that 2) has parents which see value in that.

I think I remember paying $20/month for one site, with now-laughable limits on storage and bandwidth. 2000, maybe?

I feel this too. The first programming I ever tried was making HTML layouts for an online game at 13 because I wanted my page to look cool. Now I have a degree in computer science and am working on a masters in information security

Who cares about 'real programming'. At the end of the day it's about the end product.
