I worked at my first Internet startup in 1993.
Sadly, the web archive only tracks it back to '97... http://web.archive.org/web/19970429192003/http://www.link.ca...
I started in ops, installing things like web and email servers. My first application was doing email parsing.
Oddly, today (literally), I'm writing code to do email parsing.

I've seen atrocious code too. Young, old, legacy, greenfield ... none of these things have anything to do with code quality.
