Personal memoirs on programming history

Overview

A series of personal memoirs and anecdotes explores the evolution of computing and software development through individual experiences.

Early accounts reflect on the technical foundations of programming, such as learning functional languages like Haskell and Scheme, and the historical context of 1980s computing in the Netherlands. Later reflections shift toward the evolution of web development, detailing the technical hurdles of the early 2000s. These include challenges with debugging e-commerce scripts and early attempts at client-side templating using JavaScript during the era of Netscape and the emergence of Firefox.
