Web careers

The other day I was giving a presentation to a client and, in the midst of describing my background, realized that most of the people in the room were still in middle school when I started my career in the Web. It's times like this that I step back and remind myself that the mainstream Web has been around for more than fifteen years (which is about the same span as my professional career to date).

To the lone Web manager pining away for the day when senior management will finally 'get' the Web, some advice: be careful of what you wish for.
