'Why I support humans.txt and you should too.'

<nostalgia> In 2001 I landed my first web development job on the strength of being cheap and enthusiastic. Back then "web developer" wasn't a universal term for what we do so I think my job title was simply "Programmer" (later: "Internet Programmer" and finally progressing to the dizzy heights of "Senior Database Programmer", all of which conjure images of reel-to-reel tapes and brown computers the size of bungalows.).

When I was hired, I already had a basic knowledge of HTML tables and I knew how to use JavaScript for image rollovers. CSS was an experimental feature in some obscure browsers used by geeks, like Mozilla Firebird (yes, bird) and the shareware browser Opera.

<source> One of the best things about learning web development is that you can do it on any desktop computer that has a browser and a text editor.

Cover cubed beef in flour, pepper & thyme.
Fry with oil & soon add a shot of lightly peated whisky, e.g. Jura Superstition.
Add rough chopped onion, thinly sliced carrots, 1 large crushed garlic clove and quartered button mushrooms.
Fry till onions soft.
Add about 250ml of beef stock with extra thyme (I used a whole cube of Kallo Beef stock)
Simmer to reduce.
Add about 300ml of full bodied red wine, e.g. Merlot, and some more whisky (this time I used Penderyn as it's lighter)
Simmer to reduce.
Serve with steamed veg and bread, dumplings, or spring onion mash, or use as a pie filling.
