I literally launched my development and web career on the back of this service as a broke early-20s person. Just seeing that link on HN gave me goosebumps. <3

Mine was when I noticed some pages on the internet were somehow dynamic. Like they could respond to outside stimuli somehow. I have seen a bunch but dslforums was the one that actually mentioned what they were using. It was PHP of course and right around the same time VA Linux was offering free PHP hosting (with shell?). I didn't become much of a programmer but I did do web programming "professionally" for a time.
