Most people never wanted to be webmasters in the 90s, either. They&#x27;d spend their time finding fun apps to make weird characters or RTF-colored chat text, ASCII art, l33t speak, and flashy forum sigs. If they were really artsy, maybe some .gifs.<p>Creativity came in many forms, and still does. Webmasters were just the &quot;left-brained&quot; types (yes, i&#x27;m aware that&#x27;s a pop-psych myth). Nowadays it&#x27;s the &quot;let&#x27;s reinvent everything in a new language&quot; types trying to shove an operating system into a web browser, versus the people making art, music, culture and community using technology.<p>Now that I think of it, I actually learned to program because my brother used Geocities&#x27; webpage-making template system to make his own site, and I wanted to know how he did it, so I read the source.
