like I kind of hated it because it wasn't very challenging. Like just, you know, typing HTML to create forms or just handle them backend to send emails, things like that. So I wanted to find a product that can actually do that. And I searched for it. There were some products, but they were well done.

Yeah. So I've worked for internet.com between 2000 and 2005, and I was a developer. So we had over 100 websites, and these websites were all about things like web development, about all kinds of technology stuff. And while I was working there as a developer, one of my tasks was to create these online forms for our editors.

So I would create these contact forms, surveys, questionnaires, contest forms, payment forms, all kinds of forms. And, like, at that time, like, I kind of hated it because, you know, it wasn't very challenging, like, just, you know, typing HTML to create forms or just, you know, handling the backend to send emails, things like that. So I really didn't enjoy creating forms at that time.

So with that knowledge, I quit my job.
