Yep built my first website with Notepad(no ++) in 1998. Tomorrow I have an interview for possible my first professional developer position but I've always been a developer.

I built my first website the same way in 1996! Nothing but Notepad (old school) and Netscape Navigator. The way I see it is... if you write code or build apps (because codeless development is becoming a thing now), you are a developer. The moment you start getting paid for it, your experience simply changes forms from "experience" to "professional experience"...

Good luck on your interview! I'm sure you got this!
