In addition to the blog where this post is taken from https://devblogs.microsoft.com/oldnewthing/, you could check https://folklore.org/ for early Apple anecdotes. And also https://www.jwz.org/blog/ for early Netscape/Mozilla stories

View on HN

I also like https://computer.rip/ - not personal anecdotes from people who were there, but definitely well researched and interesting technology history.

yes that's a great one! I read it semi-regularly but forgot to mention it!

Apparently jwz doesn't like HN, if you click that link you just get an image of a testicle in an eggcup

And it seems to store that info locally as even typing the url manually after being redirected from here you still get the eggcup. Using the link in private mode does work though, probably need to clear the local storage

using a different browser works fine too (tried edge after chrome)

I thought that link was safe to click at work.

I thought wrong :(

sorry, I forgot that it did that when clicked from HN. I usually access it from my bookmarks.
