Just noticed this section. Well, I'm getting old. I hope to get even older. I'm not a web developer, not a javascript coder, php is alien to me. I do simple things in Python since before 1.5 came out, but that community has changed quite a bit. I wrote and maintained the documentation of the grand old dame of ray-tracing, POV-Ray, for nearly a decade. General interest in tech. I use HTML mainly for print. Pulling data from SQLite, mangle it with Python and then to (PDF) paper. My Zotero on beery papers fills a complete hard drive.

I still remember using POV-RAY from the command line on the 25mhz 386 I had at work, leaving the renders overnight since the machine had to be left on to do backups anyways. Beat the hell out of the 10mhz AT clone I had at home.

I've actually not even touched it since the late '90's. now that I think about it. Once I got into 3ds there was no looking back.

That hasn't changed, the faster the hardware, the more complex the scene's became. Add isosurfaces and media .... Never really used modellers.
Same with audio, hand coded in SuperCollider.
