My tech timeline runs backwards.
Most people go junior dev → senior → lead → manager. I did it in reverse: internet pioneer → founder (a few times) → product director → team lead → burnt-out exec → "wait, let me try coding" → solo dev. Yes, backwards. No, I don't regret it.
I was on the Windows 95 launch team before it shipped. I ran nopay.net, handing out free internet on floppy disks. I hand-coded HTML when <marquee> was a flex. For 25 years I was the person describing the feature — never the one building it.
Then I learned to build it. Turns out decades of being the non-developer in the room makes you a strange kind of developer: I build like someone who's sat through a thousand feature-request meetings (I have), and write docs like someone who actually wants them read.
The PM became the developer. Best plot twist yet.
