I don’t know why she’s nervous, she clearly knew the spec well and didn’t have to resort to modern abstraction frameworks to serve a simple static site.

That was 18 years ago?
I remember when forms were added. I think it was more than 18 years ago though. There were still WWW conventions at the time.

That didn’t help me feel younger
A common problem, I’m afraid.
No shame in being self taught.
There should be pride in being self taught. Although it’s hard to do it hard (as in: do your own research).
