Netscape, jwz and Microserfs

Friday, October 22nd, 2004

Netscape was ten years old recently. It seems amazing that something so bizarrely world-changing is so recent; it seems like such a long time ago that I first set eyes on the pulsating “N” icon.

In the slashdot article above there was a link that caught my eye – from the web site of Jamie Zawinski, one of the original Netscape developers. It was from a diary he wrote while writing the UNIX version of Netscape and makes for very interesting reading. It reminds me greatly of Microserfs – one of my favourite books, as you can see from my reviews page… and you can read an extract courtesy of Wired.
