MySpace popped up around the same time I was dabbling in some MMORPGs that had some limited development built into them (Furcadia, anyone?). Within a few weeks, I taught myself CSS/HTML and was customizing my friends pages for them. I didn't go on to a career in development, but it stuck with me.

I'm now doing a bootcamp at Flatiron School, and I'm surprised by how much I still remember from the good ole' MySpace days. 😂 I can't tell you how many times I've typed <i> and <b> instead of the preferred <em> <strong> because of MySpace habits from when I was like 11 years old...
