      This thread is giving me a lot of feels. I learned HTML/CSS so I could make simple fan sites and edit LiveJournal. It was incredibly fun. I was one of the only kids in my friends group doing it. By the time I reached college this wasn't "real programming."https://twitter.com/anildash/status/1060754945434157056 …

      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*.

          Replying to @alicegoldfuss @nyhcmaven84

          I'm a graphic artist and I learned enough HTML in an afternoon to get jobs laying out websites and doing graphics. When it came to CSS, I knew coding was not what I wanted to do, only graphics.
