This is what I really accomplished in the years of work I did on the early web. I created something that could be built into a large successful company with millions of customers, and the web got a writing system, and because the people running it took the responsibility seriously, it has lasting value.

This tweet means a lot to me.

Still to this day, the systems I designed so many years ago work exactly as they did then. That’s what the web was supposed to do.

If my mom was still with us, I’d ask her to put this on the fridge. It’s as good a review as I’ve ever gotten.

My guess is that Matt wrote it, btw. He’s really the only one in WordPress-land who can say something like this, imho.
