The greatest trick the industry ever played 2

“The image shows two men standing on either side of a vertical banner at a conference or event. The banner is for the "W3C TPAC 2023" event, which took place from September 11th to 15th in Seville, Spain. The banner also features several logos of sponsors, including Gooroomee, Sttark, Igalia, TetraLogical, and the Ayuntamiento de Sanlúcar de Barrameda.
The man on the left is wearing a navy-blue t-shirt with the words "SHIT SHOW" in bold, yellow and red lettering. He has short grey hair, wears glasses, and is dressed in green shorts and sneakers. The man on the right is wearing a formal outfit consisting of a dark blazer over a white shirt, dark pants, and black shoes. He has a serious expression and a lanyard around his neck, indicating his participation in the event. Both men are standing in a casual pose, with the man on the left having his hands in his pockets. The overall atmosphere of the image suggests a relaxed moment during a professional gathering.”

I remember the day in 1994 that I was first able to climb out of the pit of despair and anxiety. It still beckons me from time to time, but I no longer live there.
