I miss hand-writing webpages in Notepad and then FTP'ing them to the public_html directory on the server to make them live. The amount of infrastructure, libraries, build tools, pseudo-languages, etc layered on top of each other some developers/orgs use to make a simple form today is crazy to me. It also feels super fragile: deploy a website today, come back to it in 5 years to make some changes, and half the tools and libraries you need will be gone.
