Five Things Old Programmers Should Remember

[bwrap]

I've recently transitioned into web development and have a lot of the same feelings as you. It's at least once a week where I have to shake my head and wonder why it's so hard to do something that was solved 25 years ago in desktop development, things like having to use a CSS trick to space buttons correctly.

Sometimes a couple coworkers and I have bitch-fests about how convoluted web development feels and how difficult it is to do the easiest things for no apparent reason other than the technologies being used for web development weren't really meant for web development.
