I got into Web in 1998 as 10 yrs old. It gave me friends, love, most of my jobs. It let me study, dream and develop.

@w3c I met @timberners_lee and Robert Caillau at Grif while working on a SGML rendering engine in 1992 or 1993 IIRC. Changed my entire life.

@w3c in middle school, a friend and I started a Web site design business, for friends/teachers. Later, he built a little site called Reddit.
