Happy Birthday!!

I remember going here when it first came out and getting really excited about the endless possibilities of having extremely clean HTML and using nothing but CSS to style it.

It really doesn't seem that long ago, but it was.

Makes me want to write a few nested HTML tables to lay out some pages.
Prayin' for a 20!

If it works, who cares HOW you get it to work!?

Because years later when you have to modify something and you have to wade through tons of screwed up nested gunk that only works in IE6 you'll be cursing the idiot who cut corners to "make it work".

It all depends on your definition of "works". If you define that as working in the one version of the one browser on you're dev machine, then yeah. I prefer to define it as at least usable in multiple browsers on multiple operating systems.

And one of the things many web developers still forget is that tablets and smart phones don't have mice.

The buzz term these days is responsive design.. IE having your page format nicely on all screen sizes and support both mouse and touch input.

Mr. Analog

Yep, using libraries like Twitter Bootstrap is pretty much SOP for most web apps these days
