My wife knew a guy who was essentially the Sears.com developer, back then. There was a magazine showing the Sears CEO, and him (he had a Misfits pin on his messenger bag).
He wasn't literally the only developer, but it was close. Sears did not take ecommerce seriously enough, for quite a long time (like, maybe, ever).
When was that? Everyone's got to start somewhere. I was the only web developer for a really big moving company back when you were just called webmaster. Ran it off Mac OS X Server 1.2 on an original iMac for a while.
