The last three felt like ten
Doc Searls: The next ten years will feel like three. Later this month I turn 41. For me, the last three felt like ten. In a good way. How many people reading this weblog knew I existed three years ago? Apache Jakarta had just been formed. Tomcat 3.0 has not been released, and I was not yet a committer. SOAP 1.1 was still in committee. Dr. Fielding's thesis on REST was not complete. It would be nearly another year before I heard about what was to become .NET. And RSS was a mess.
What changed it all for me? PHP.
