Sometimes you run into some old photograph that strongly reminds you of past times. I ran into this old panorama photo of the office I used to work in during 2000. My first webdesign job, and I didn’t know shit about anything really. I could make webpages and small sites, but that was it. I got in with help of a friend, already working there, and learned almost everything on the job. PHP, JavaScript, usability, writing for the web and all those skills I now take for granted.
Since then I’ve moved on and I am currently employed by the largest Labour Union in the Netherlands and am dedicated to providing our consultants with the information they need through intranet applications and I’m also working on a new internet customerportal.
But seeing this picture brings back a sentimental feeling about exploring possibilities, endless learning and friday afternoon beers.
