  11. Anil Dash: How Markdown took over the world. “Though it’s now a building block of the contemporary Internet, like so many great things, Markdown just started out trying to solve a personal problem.

    TL;DR: Wrestled with my Synology NAS trying to get a Debian VM running, started learning Kubernetes and Argo Workflows, watched Catsby and Miss Biscuits become friends, populated my BBS with text files from textfiles.com.
