I once built a website preloader that was so large that I made a pre-preloader for it. Good times indeed.

A flash preloader was my first real tech job! As I recall, they stiffed my last paycheck and went under later.

But it was incredibly fun and I made connections that steered my career to a new direction for the next decade.

Agreed, the wildest of wests.
